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).

Don't have the official mileage yet, but I finished 18+ this morning in 3:14:30. Thank you to everyone who sent good luck wishes via the comments or email!
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.....
