Went to Green Bay over the weekend.
Did a little
running while I was there.
Great course.
Great weather.
Great crowds.
Drive was a
bit long!
Last Thursday was the
TC 1 Mile.
So, it was a tough race on Sunday!

Ran the
Get in Gear 10k on Saturday.
Could have been worse.
It snowed a couple of years ago!
So the bit of rain we had this year wasn't too bad.

Dear
Roger Ebert.
Might I also remind you of another great artist.
A man who made a famous statement concerning distinguished
elders and the reckless denials they make.
Maybe you've heard of him.
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
Arthur C. Clarke - Profiles of the Future (1962)

Just so he doesn't think I forgot.
And I didn't, I assure you.
On this
very day.
April 20th, 1979.
The current President, Jimmy Carter, was attacked.
By a
bunny rabbit.
Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.
That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

Ran the
Human Race.
After focusing on skiing all winter, I don't have any speed.
As shown by the 45 second slip from
two years ago.
It was a fun race!
The
Get in Gear is on the 24th of next month.
Hope I'm in shape for that!

235 years ago on this day Patrick Henry gave a speech.
The reason he gave the speech?
The British were amassing an army on our shores.
They were amassing an army because Americans were protesting.
The form of the protest was the Boston Tea Party.
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775

The
Birkie is
done.
Wow.
That's rough.
Spent the next day laying on the couch watching movies.
Not because I needed to.
But it seemed like a good excuse!
The
St. Patrick's Day Human Race is on the 28th.

Hope you've been training!

Welcome to
2010.
Good
luck!
Like
rats fleeing a
sinking ship.
We already
know they didn't do any
good.
We know we shouldn't trust their
promises.
Where are all the
jobs that were
created?
Even this
guy knows this wasn' a good
idea.

Saw the Monty Python play Spamalot.
It was awesome.
We're Knights of the Round Table
Our shows are formidable
But many times we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable
I made a little picture.
You might think it's funny.

This whole global warming thing.
I don't think it's working out, really.
Get in Gear 2008 was on
Saturday.
And let me tell you how warm it was.
It wasn't.
At all.
I'm thirstin' for a chance
To show the world that I'm clever
So I might live forever…

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
The Human Race 8K was on
Sunday.
Fun race!
Fastest I've ever run!
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines…
Bon Iver - Skinny Love.
