missed it by THIS much

DAYUM!!!

Did Grete's Great Gallop. Deb was there with Chel for the Norway Run, Tom n' Jerry did the 1/2. PERFECT morning for a run, crisp, very brisk-as in "wish I'd brought gloves/but then again, what're we gonna do when the REAL cold comes???" cold. But again, perfect for a race. Actually found a parking spot one block from the start-a friggin' miracle for a Saturday in Manhattan.

Saw some of the usual suspects, missed some. Pity really. A race like this has a length for everyone, their loss.

Did ok, actually VERY ok-2 mins faster than ever in Central Park for a half, but pissed. Wanted sooo badly to break 2 hours, but, wasn't to be. I got faked out. What I-and those around me-thought was the 12 mile marker was actually for 11, so we sprinted too far from the finish. SHIT! Was like having 2 - 12 mile markers. But, got the miles, logged 'em, 4 weeks to go until.........The.....Big.......One.

***Payback's a _____Joe Torre done it! Dodgers beat the Cubs. Who really gives a shit? Well, no one really, but, Joe Torre deserves it! The Yankee's jerked him off, he boogied, good. Fuck the Yankees, bunch'a overpaid prima donnas. Mets (overpaid yes, prima donnas, no) should'a grabbed him, but typical Mets, they cheaped out. Good for Joe!!!!! His best quote "nice to work in a town where sports ISN'T front page news." God bless him. Go Dodgers!!!

It? Back from Hospital. Damn.
