Badwater – 48 hours (actually 47) to go

 

Badwater is now just 48 hours away. The race starts on Monday and I’m in the 8am starting wave.

In a few hours, Elizabeth, Aaron and I will head out to Lone Pine with a mini-van full of what looks like enough supplies to live on the moon for a month. In Lone Pine, we’ll meet up with the rest of my crew – Billy, Colin and Sally – and before I know it, it’ll be time to run.

During the race, you’ll be able to follow along in a bunch of different ways:

I also want to thank everyone who generously donated to the Challenged Athletes Foundation. As of today, I have raised $5,000. If you haven’t had a chance to donate and feel so inclined, you can click here: Josh’s CAF Donation Site. There’s also a link on the front page of this website.

p.s. How rad is this new website?  It went live just last night and I love it. Every aspect of the look, feel and design of the site was created by the studs at Wicked+. Thanks guys!
