Okay, now if you haven’t read Born to Run then you may not know who I am talking about, and I’m not going to tell you. Just read the book. It’s your homework as a runner. (But it won’t feel like homework because the book is entertaining.)
Anyway.
Anyway, Caballo Blanco is going to be at an event in Olympia. It’s not that close to me (about an hour drive), but I really, really want to go. It’s on Friday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. Anyone else interested? It’s $25 to hear him talk about running in the Copper Canyon with the Tarahumara (“the running people”), but the profits go to the Tarahumara! So you’ll be doing a good thing.
Here’s the LINK to the info.
PS: I want to run a Turkey Trot 5K. Is there one around the Puget Sound area? Any local bloggies know?

Lordy I would love to but I have a half Marathon the next day.. I think Jill and I are going to see Dean Karnazes when he comes to Seattle in November…Trotting turkeys?? Hmmmm…
Fort Lewis has a 5k and 10k turkey trot on Nov 20th. I think it's free.
Gosh, I wish I could go see that but I live too far north and my book club is that night. You should go, an hour's drive is nothing! 🙂
It is a bit of a commute for me so I'll wait for your recap!
if only i wenret in pullman. i would love to put a face to a name. oh the illustrious caballo blanco. maybe ill just give them my money.
From San Jose, CA that would be quite drive but I would love to hear him.
I am thinking of doing the Turkey Trot at Norpoint.
I'm down. Well, literally down, too far down for that but I'd be up for carpooling. My heart's in the right place but my body is not. Stupid geography.
Holy cow! That's awesome. I started reading this and had to put it down with school. I can't wait to finish it during fall break next week. What a cool event!
