Vicki O'Halloran, left, and Sarah Gribionkin, both of Bend, run along the shoulder of U.S. Highway 20 west of Sisters on Wednesday morning. O'Halloran started running on Aug. 1 north of Portland and plans to cover 11.3 miles each day until she reaches the Oregon-California border. She was in a car accident in which she was texting while driving, and is running to call attention to the issue. Gribionkin, a friend of O'Halloran's, is training for a half marathon and was accompanying her on the day's run. O'Halloran is looking for sponsors for her and her crew, and donations to the TXT L8R campaign. For more information, visit the Facebook page www.facebook.com/RunOregonTxtL8r.
Run now, text later
