I’m not sure where the week has gone.\u00a0 I can’t believe it’s already Thursday.\u00a0 And you know what that means!\u00a0 Only today and tomorrow left to enter the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler lottery<\/a>!\u00a0 I know a lot of people don’t like the uncertainty of a lottery, but this one is pretty great because you will know by Tuesday whether or not you’re in!\u00a0 That’s not a long wait at all!\u00a0 Come run the race with me!<\/p>\n

In other news, I spent most of yesterday with a number of World War II vets.\u00a0 These people are awesome!\u00a0 There is a reason they’re known as the Greatest Generation.\u00a0 I met people who did all sorts of crazy things out of a sense of duty to their country and then who, after the war, just went home and worked and raised families and didn’t talk about what they did because it wasn’t amazing, it was just what they had to do.\u00a0 Absolutely incredible.\u00a0 I think there were some video interviews done with these folks and I can’t wait to be able to link them for you.<\/p>\n

(Also, we were at an event until around 11, at which point I was exhausted and these folks in their 90’s and 100’s were going strong!\u00a0 I hope to be half as energetic when I’m their age.)<\/p>\n

With all the negativity in the press lately, it’s important to remember that there are still amazing people out there doing amazing things every day, not just those in the Greatest Generation, but in all the generations to follow.\u00a0 That said, I think we can learn a lot from those who went before us and make a point to step up when we’re needed and to remain humble while doing so.<\/p>\n
