Tuesday morning was the dreaded day of the Special Olympics Torch Run across Alamance County. Why dreaded? Because I’m an accumulated 55 years of out of shape Police Chaplain…and I run our leg, which is roughly 3 miles across Graham.
Now that would not be so bad except I have to run it with these police officers who are in better shape than me—not to mention a lot younger. That evening, I asked the City Council to consider moving the city limits in one mile for one day next year. They just laughed. I was serious.
