September 28, 2014: The End…Er, Let’s Call it New Beginning
Well, 70 wins. Best in a while, I guess.
If you have the chance, today's big ones are the games involving Seattle and Oakland.

This week has been a fanciful flight of whimsy. And stuff. Janine Jansen on violin.

Season change
Nice to be running in the cooler temps...
We did a 9 mile slog in heat/humidity only 3 weeks ago and I must have stopped to walk a dozen times, gasping like an amphibian washed upon some distant shore, sweating like a Gatorade ad.
Last week we polished off an easy 12 with the cooler temps. Today was also cool and an easy 9 (taper) for the upcoming Hartford Half in two weeks.
It's really different running with other people - get into a good conversation and you don't notice the miles fly by.
