So it was funny that this article would find its way in to the Post this morning. I didn’t stop, I didn’t have any elbaorate story… I was on the toll road, in the wrong lane, and didn’t feel like busting my ass (and or car, and or anybody else’s) trying to get over in to the right one. My trick is to exit…

It has been a while since a general update of things. NetflixDespite realizing that there is no way I’ll watch enough movies in a month to warrant this, I dove in.

I drove around a bit, couldn’t find any runners, eventually parked, jogged around a mile before finding a guy (Mark O’hara?) who knew where the start was. We ran together the half mile there… 1.5 miles…

My first race of the season (and supposedly my baseline, but the silly course was a bit long so it didn’t help much)! Anyway, I ran around 20:04 (fumbled my watch and results aren’t posted yet) for 5th overall and 1st in my age group (yay for a trophy!). Based on the recent times of the people who finished around me (guy who outkicked…
