Many of us have enjoyed the articles, columns and books written by Rick Houston over the years. I got this e-mail from him today and thought I'd help spread the word about his participation in the VJGC 5K and his fund-raising goal.
I've signed up for another 5k to benefit the Victory Junction Gang Camp. This year's race is scheduled for Oct. 27, and it'll be the third one I've done. I walked the entire way the first year, and finished in a little over 51 minutes. Last year, I ran more than I walked and wound up getting to the finish line in a little more than 37 minutes. This time out, I plan to run the whole course -- hills and all -- and finish in as close to 30 minutes as I can possibly get. We'll see.
That said, if you could possibly help out with a donation, I would obviously appreciate it. Victory Junction was founded by Kyle and Pattie Petty in memory of their son Adam. I covered all but one of Adam's starts in the Busch Series, and I was at the track when he passed away. I'm proud to have named a son Adam in his honor.
