Friday Thoughts

Friday, November 2, 2007

“Friday Thoughts” is a light-hearted commentary.

ON SUNDAY morning, a fun event for the family will be the Freedom run and bike race. The check in for the race starts at 8 a.m. at the All Veterans Memorial. Everyone is encouraged to participate because the event will help raise money for Emporia’s veterans memorials.

A side event during the race will be a media challenge between the Gazette and KVOE to see who can run the 5K the fastest. This challenge should be a fun but tiring one. Rumor has it that DJs Ron Thomas and Chuck Samples have been climbing stairs at work in preparation for the event.

I wonder when Ron or Chuck are sprinting toward the finish line if it will resemble the famous running scene from “Chariots of Fire”?
