About Me

I am Scott Giddings and I am employed at Girls and Boys Town in Omaha Nebraska. I am also an avid runner.

I have been at Girls and Boys Town since leaving the military in 1997 and am continually in awe of the mission of the home.

It was nearly two years ago that I started wondering what running across Nebraska would be like. After experimenting with some long runs 50K - 50 miles, I decided to take the plunge and commit myself to taking on the state from the Wyoming to Iowa borders. I'll pass by two of Nebraska best known landmarks, Chimney Rock in the west and the village of Boys Town in the east, thus the Landmark Run.

    The Return - Fall Splendor

    By Scott | October 22, 2007

    If I had to give up one day like yesterday in order to receive a day like today, I would do it every time. First of all, yesterday was great, but today, now today was a different story all together. Today is what fall is all about. It is one that makes that makes me want more and more of fall. The changing colors, the temperatures, the crisp blue skies, are all simply far too amazing to be indoors. These are the days I dream about.

    Honestly, I don’t feel like talking much, so I am just going to include some photos of the day.

    Thanks again. I’m looking forward to yet another fantastic day tomorrow.

      Scott,

      I have been keeping you in my thoughts as you set out to finish what you started.

      You picked the most beautiful backdrop to frame what is a great accomplishment already!
