The River Run in Grand Rapids is a massive presence. 6:30am the downtown streets are quiet. By 7 its a whole different story. Tens of thousands of people pour into city to participate in a variety of running distances.
The weather is always predictable for this race. It never changes. Michigan always gives the same every year. Cold, wet and windy.
It doesn't matter. The masses still sign up and run the challenge. The end always is different for the individual. Some smile as they cross, hold hands, cheer, in costume, holding a sign, collapse and hauled off in a wheel chair or puke at my feet.
Which ever the choice may be, I get to be there working for ASI. Camera in hand, which half way through seems to the be the heaviest thing I own, but clearly its not.
Its sunny today....outside I go.
