12,500 brave the Pineapple Express on St. Pat’s Day
12,500 participate in 3.5 mile St. Patrick’s Day Dash during rip roaring Pineapple Express downpour. Gusty winds and warm rain originating in Hawaii intervened during the Seattle Center to Qwest Field fun run.
Unfortunately I can’t help thinking that priorities are askew here. 12,500 could make an immense difference by raising their voices against prevailing issues OUTSIDE the world of exercise. 12,500 well-heeled, tax-paying, latte-swilling citizens COULD effect change. Chilling that this fun run isn’t even for a good cause like cancer or childhood diseases. It’s the St. Patrick’s Day Run. So, have we TURNED OUR BACKS on the issues that plague our generation? Have we become experts at out-running, dodging the issues and leaving them to the next generation? People, have you seen the next generation?
