Rainbow coalition, part 2

The past two mornings, my jogging routine was changed a bit due to the international conference being held at Marist College. There were more than 1,000 counselors from more than 80 countries represented. It was a BIG DEAL to be sure! I was asked to organize a group run from campus at 6:30 a.m. I recruited team member Billy Hild to lead the pack, while I trailed the pack. Marist Running Alum Adam Ritter helped out on the first day as well, and Director of Admission Kent Rinehart ran with the group both days as well. We did an out-and-back run over the Walkway and back. Our track background came in handy, when conference attendees arrived and asked "how many kilometers" would we be running. No worries. We deal in kilometers. For those keeping score at home, most who did the run covered a little over 8 kilometers. Among the countries represented on our morning jogs: South Africa, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Canada, Guam. There were more, to be sure, but that's what I remember. It was an honor and an experience to host our international guests.
