Blagojevich salutes new running program

The group is called Illinois Runs, and guess who is a board member?

(You have to scroll down a bit.)

Here in PDF form is the congratulatory letter from Governor Rod Blagojevich to Beth Onines, wishing the Illinois Runs executive director good luck with the new venture.

A similar post can be found on Marathon Pundit.

  2. Blago ran a marathon, but the Jim Ryan for Gov folks caught him fibbing about his finishing time.

    What I remember about Big Jim's athletic pursuits involved him going down a slide with one of those sacks at the state fair.

  3. Rubes,

    Does it Say? :

    'Lace up your Keds, Kids, and run With Rod!'

    I'll trot to the icebox and grab a turkeyleg.
