The Running Man had a motorcycle escort from the city limits to the plaza and the mayor was there to welcome him and present him with a beautiful framed proclamation. Although all the major media was notified most didn't attend the ceremony. The L.A. Times was represented and the local paper and TV station. I guess I should have known better because my experience has been that most people aren't really interested in a walk or running adventure.
Most people think of a walking or running adventure as boring.
They may enjoy hearing about it if the person can tell his story with gusto and enthusiasm. They may even enjoy reading about it if the story is well written but to actually give up doing something else to go to see a walker or runner isn't something most people will do. Personal observations Kunst made the following personal observations about Garside. Jenni and I found Robert to be a nice guy with an almost arrogant determination, but that is what it takes to do what he is doing without anyone going ahead or bringing up the rear. He just goes on and on with determination, guts and passion.
