Meet the GNIKE GNOME

Hello Folks, this is Gary the GNIKE GNOME reporting here. I will be the embedded reporter for Team Waiting for Runs. I am thrilled at this oppurtunity to get some more traveling in. The weather here in Colorado has been lets say inconsistant. Snow, Sun, Snow, Sun, go away winter! I want to do some more traveling! So when 1Miletogo approached me and suggested that I travel to Sunny California, I accepted right away! Here I am in the mountains of Colorado, look at all that snow. I just want sun!

So, I will be reporting for the team on this 199 mile adventure, boy do I love to travel. I hope to have the oppurtunity to snatch a picture at great photo locations! Maybe I will be able to get a picture with Dean and maybe some ladies on the beach....Anyway, I have checked with one of my cousins working for Travelocity, and he said that the weather should be great for running! We are looking at highs in the 60's and lows in the 40's. Ahh, a Colorado Gnome couldn't ask for more.

Anyway, I am now in the midst of helping 1Mile pack, and boy does he need it, between you and me, he is scattered everywhere. So, I tried on my running attire and glasses, boy am I ready! See you all soon, and I will be enjoying spending time in both vans and witnessing the sites and spectacles of van life for 36 hours!
