Sunday was a marathon day for more reasons than one. First, Carolyn Boller, Margaret Atencio, Mark Ferrandino and I met with a crew of volunteers to staff the water station for the Denver Marathon. Carolyn was our able captain, and she kept us moving during the next 7 hours in the rain and cold. We had a great time cheering on the runners and passing out water and Gatorade.

We all froze, but everyone had a good time. The runners were true heroes as they made this long trek. And the Colorado Democratic Party did its share to provide for the runners.

After the run, I had a chance to meet with John Kelly from the DNC’s Faith in Action project. He was in town to talk with folks in the community about a pilot house party for this fall. We then met with the CDP Faith and Politics committee. We committed to doing three pilot projects in November with different faith communities.

Teri Baird reported on the planned seminar with Iliff School of Theology. It will be held on January 12, 2008. One of the keynote speakers will be Leah Daughtry, CEO of the DNCC, who is also a Penecostal minister.

Today I am off to Bent County for a multi-county meeting. After a breakfast tomorrow morning I will come back to Denver. Then Wednesday I will travel back down to Pueblo for the DNCC Community Conversation. Hope to see some of your there.
