The long-awaited trip is finally upon us!
As Joe has mentioned in his e-mails, I will be leaving San Diego early tomorrow morning for Indianapolis ahead of the big Sunburst Half Marathon in South Bend. We'll be wearing our Gene Ely shirts during the race on Saturday morning as we run through the neighborhoods near Notre Dame, finishing at the 50-yard line in the historic stadium on campus. It will be quite an event.
We will have plenty of photos to post up here, from before, during, and after the event, and from the entire weekend as well. I'll be in West Lafayette with the whole Ely family on Thursday night, then with Joe and David Eichstadt in South Bend Friday, racing on Saturday, then in Carmel with Brian and Susan and the kids after that. Back home Sunday afternoon.
The weekend will really zip by with everything going on, and I do wish I had more time to spend out there, but we will make the most of the 3.5 days we have. The added, unexpected treat will be seeing David Eichstadt (and maybe Kate and Mikey? Will they be there?) when he's in S.B. for his college reunion. It's all coming together perfectly, and I'm looking forward to a great trip no matter what the weather might bring us during the race.
So if the mood should strike you, feel free to wear your own Karen-made Gene Ely shirts on Saturday morning to join us as we honor our family Patriarch.
