"This Just In!!!!" (Please send feedback on this if you are interested)!

My blurb that I sent to the Howard County Times on my quest/goal went through and was printed in this week's edition of the Howard County Times! WHOOOHOOOO!!!!!!! This stuff actually made it to the newspaper. The article is on page B7 of the Howard County Times (for the week of August 2, 2007, 166th year, No.28) in a section called Your best shot in the Neighbors insert!!! It is so amazing, what a blessing they published something on me that I did not think (at least at first) would be serious enough to be deemed newsworthy by the folks at the Patuxent Publishing Company that prints the Howard County Times (or any newspaper or publisher for that matter). To my knowledge, the Howard County Times is the only publication from Patuxent Publishing that has this in it, but if I see it somewhere like the Laurel Leader or Columbia Flyer, I'll say something about it on here.
The article is titled "Amazing Racer", an overstatement to say the least, but apparently the Good Lord has seen fit to bless me with great racing experiences along with equally terrific progress in such a surprisingly short time. The gist of the article is just goin' over my goal and briefly the progress I've made, making specific mention to having run in a race in all nine Maryland Eastern Shore counties this year. The article comes with the photo that John Gygax took of me outside of the Francis Scott Key Resort in Ocean City upon completing the third "Dash and Splash" Series Race, a huge milestone because I completed races in all of the Maryland Eastern Shore Counties with that event! I submitted the photo along with the article and was glad that it was put in. Ms. Simpson did an excellent job with the article and the probably-more-than-necessary details I gave her in my blurb.
This is where the feedback comes in. I wanted to post this in case anyone local to the Howard County area has been following me on my endeavors and would like to see a little press coverage on it. If you are from Howard County (or live in another County close by where you can still get a copy), then I hope you check out this brief article and I thank you for your interest in my endeavors, whether you've just started checkin' this out or you've been supportin' me from the beginning. Now, for all of you supporters who live in other parts of Maryland (and outside of the state), if you want a hard copy of the article, just leave me a comment letting me know on this thing, or better yet, send me an e-mail at: noahwood@juno.com My e-mail addy should be easy to find through Blogspot.Com, but in case that doesn't work out there it is. Please make sure you include your mailing address and whether you prefer if I mail you just the article or the whole issue of the Howard County Times. I would prefer it if you e-mail me about it within the next coupla weeks, since this issue will only be in circulation for about a week or so, and I need to know how many copies to pick up (only about fifty cents a pop, nothing too much for me to sweat about). I'm already planning on buyin' some more copies for my family and some friends, and I hope to have extras for my loyal supporters or anyone else who is interested! If you wanna get it shipped straight from the publisher, check out Patuxent Publishing's website at: http://www.patuxent.com/ Maybe look under the "Circulation" section. They're a pretty solid business and they print a lotta different things between the Carroll County area and the Baltimore area I do believe!
Well thank you for listening and all of the encouragement. Remember if you wanna piece of this success and positive step forward in my state-wide running endeavors, just let me know if you would like a copy and I would be happy to hook you up! You guys bring me a lot of encouragement through your comments, e-mails, personal conversations, and phone calls so I don't wanna leave any of you out of this great time in my quest/project.
I hope you all have a good night and a blessed week!
