Leave a reply

On November 10, I ran in WPTC’s XC Challenge and finished in a sluggish 34:06. Last year I finished in 32:03, and I’d hoped to break 30:00 this year.

2007 Great Race 10K

1 Reply

On September 30, I ran in the 30th anniversary Great Race. I finished in a somewhat disappointing 53:56. That’s actually 5 seconds faster than last year’s 54:01, which you might think would make me happy. Well, considering I wanted to beat that time by 4:02, 5 seconds is a pretty disappointing margin of improvement. The good news is that I’ve progressed to the point that 53:56 felt like a bad run this year, whereas 54:01 felt like a good run last year.

A private citizen is releasing this ad on USA Today for November 21. Rumor has it that it’ll be in the first section, right-hand side, which to my ears sounds about ideal.

This is an aspect of the Paul campaign that has impressed me greatly; ordinary schlubs without a PAC or minor fortune to their names usually can’t make a dent in a presidential campaign. However, individual contributions and individual initiatives are huge in the Paul campaign, such as the Tea Party and the November 5th fundraiser. A wonderful change of pace indeed.
