Remembering MLK


As many of us are enjoying a day off from work (and spending a portion of it making up the miles we missed during yesterdays cold snap) I wanted to take the time to honor the great civil rights leader who's birthday we are collectively -but often unconsciously-celebrating. 

The following 5 mini-bio is a powerful reminder of all that MLK lived for, fought for, and ultimately gave his life for: http://youtu.be/3ank52Zi_S0

However you're spending the holiday I'd urge you to turn your thoughts, even briefly, to the courage and dedication of Dr. King and question what areas of our society are still dominated by racism and segregation. And what we can do to carry on MLK's legacy through our actions in the year ahead.

Happy Martin Luther King day and happy running from X-City.
