3 hours plus of pain and sweat. Endorphins are fun. The longest run I ever took on was a 9 mile run back in 1992. My heels were bruised quite a bit after that. I dont even want to contemplate 18 plus.

My good friend Michael is running the Chicago Marathon. He finished the Traverse City marathon in under 4 hours. It was his second marathon. He his hooked now.

I think Ill pass. Its pretty hilly here. NYC sounds much better for running.

Sweeeeeeeeet. You could run from our house to the nearest grocery store, now.

...but you could only come 1/3 of the way back. ...so don't get ice cream.

Congrats!

I'm impressed...I'd be lucky to run 18 hundreths of a mile. Hope you're taking a day off after that.

Mystery Solved

Funny story about the source of the maple syrup smell that has periodically occurred in New York City: Map of the Day: NYC's Official Maple Syrup "Odor Reports" . Most interesting to me is that the mystery was ultimately solved by overlaying calls to the city's 311 line on a map with dates and prevailing weather patterns (check the link for a detailed picture).

This is a test

I know that the readers of this blog receive the posts lots of different ways - on the web, via email subscription, and via feed readers. I really enjoy when people post comments, so in the spirit of making it easier to do so, I've changed (I think) the blog's feed to include a link to post a comment. Having the link will eliminate the need to go to the post on the web to make a comment - if all goes as planned. This post is a test to see if the new functionality works. Please let me know - via the comments, of course! I'm happy to share the details with anyone who wants to know how to do this - and I know you are out there.....
