At Runner's World, runner and author Amby Burfoot gives his take on running around the Mall during the days leading up the Inauguration today:
I am so jealous that he actually gets to be there at the Inauguration. I just watched it in a conference room at work, and it is awesome to witness history being made. I feel that even though our country is experiencing really hard times, we are moving forward, and great progress is being made!
I have been a big Obama fan since the primaries. I volunteered for the Youth Vote Campaign here in Albuquerque, which gave me a lot of time to walk around and talk to people. Everyone was so fired up for Obama. And today I experienced that excitement all over again. I love that spurt of energy and I want to put it to good use -- I'll be off for a run over lunch! 
To the right is a picture of me, in the middle, at an Obama Youth Registration drive at a community college in Albuquerque. Above is a picture of me and my friend and running buddy Penimah, at Obama's Eary Vote rally here in Albuquerque. We got to see him give a speech!
