Happy Birthday USA

Made the annual run down Peachtree Road this morning along with 54,999 other people. Was fortunate (fast??) enough to have a group C corral start, so I didn't have to wait for an hour after the start to actually cross the starting line (only 11 minutes). Finished in under an hour - which I was happy with due to being a bit under the weather for the past few days.

Had a chance to connect with Will Cross - a fellow Allegheny College alum - earlier this week (http://www.diabetic.friendsinhighplaces.org/more-will-cross). Completing an Ironman seems to be a small task when compared to the "events" he has completed (7 Peaks and both Poles). Amazing stories and an inspiration to many (old and young), whether they have diabetes or not. If you ever have the opportunity to hear his story - take advantage of it!

Finally, just a note to those who may read this and don't already know, but we have some great folks leading the way at iD - Peter, Nate, and John. Can't say enough about how these 3 "unique personalities" (sorry I couldn't come up with a more "Nate-like" phrasing here John) work so well together to keep things moving behind the scenes with their outreach and recruiting efforts. Looking forward to more great things for iD in the future.

Happy Birthday USA!
