As I wake up this morning with the opportunity to run the Louisiana Marathon, I am thinking of the large amount of work it takes to make something like this come together. All the volunteers, race director, vendors. All of the people who will be inconvenienced by the roads that are closed. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
