Carl Lewis is running. Next to him, Bill Brown of Veterans for Education

And Carl Lewis is running.

The 9-time Olympic gold medalist is a track legend, who topped the world in the long jump and in sprint. But if campaigns are marathons, he's right now out there running. Really running.

And if you want to run with him, you can. He'll be doing weekly runs with voters. Tomorrow, you can find him across from the Westhampton Rescue Squad, setting off from 195 Woodlane Road. Kids are invited; the candidate will be walking in addition to running, but bring comfortable shoes. Look for updates on his website.
