The NYC Half

One the hardest things I'm currently doing now aside from building Stoked into a great organization is running in the NYC 1/2 Marathon. Through our Team Stoked program, I decided to join and run. I wanted to get into shape, do more cardio, and challenge myself. I've completely crashed though. I'm going to continue, but I did a 10 miler the other day and boy, that killed me. Here is my schedule. I got 4 more weeks to go.

I thought I wouldn't have to go back to LA for a while. I have to handle some quick business. I intend to make someone a job offer and raise some money. Our LA program is quite a challenge. Especially being on 2 separate coasts and thousands of miles between us. I want the program to succeed but without the support and infrastructure that we have in NYC, it will be hard to survive. The inspiration and motivation to make the LA program work honestly, is the amount of kids that need a program like Stoked. Although our NYC youth come from challenging social environments, they have more opportunities than our LA program. Alternatively, our LA kids need more hope and inspiration. We've already touched the lives of a small amount of kids, but there are hundreds of kids in the community that need positive outlets.
