More fun with TO. Apparently, he thinks that he is the same as god, now. He told the Miami Herald, “I don’t have to worry about what people think of me, whether they hate me or not. People hated on Jesus. They threw stones at him and tried to kill him, so how can I…
In a continuation of yesterday’s story, a 16 year old driver in Germany plowed off an exit ramp from a highway into the Australian cycling team and killed 29-year old Amy Gillett. Two of her teammates are still in critical condition and three others are still in the hospital as well. The Australian cycling team…
The Clam Festival this weekend had many events other than the 5 mile race. There was a kayak race and a cycling race as well. The cycling race was not completed, however. They had to stop the race with 2 laps (about 10 kilometers) remaining. 88-year-old John Christiansen apparently didn’t understand what the police were…
Yesterday was the Yarmouth Clam Festival. It was fairly hot, and I was not hydrated or warmed up enough for the race, but I did all right. There was one thing I learned yesterday that really can make a runner feel small. I spent the first three miles running right next to Joan Benoit Samuelson,…
The 40th annual Yarmouth Clam Festival is this weekend, and the 24th running of the Clam Festival Classic 5 mile road race was this morning. The temperature was a cool 84 degrees (compared to last year’s 96 fahrenheit) despite starting at 8 o’clock in the morning. Bob Winn held a course record of 23:58 on…
The Red Sox are making up for Schilling and Arroyo’s loss last night. I just checked the box scores, and at the top of the 8th they are winning 17 to 1. That’s some major pain going on, right there. I almost feel sorry for Buddy Groom. David Well is doing all right, though, despite…
The AA Eastern League All-Star game was last night at Hadlock Field, where the North beat the south 9-6. The night began with a home run derby won by Shelley Duncan, who got booed by the Red Sox fans (read: most of the almost 7000 people there) when his affiliation with the Yankees was announced…
The MLB All Star game was last night. I did not watch it; I don’t get cable until mid/late august and it is cancelled by the end of January or beginning of February. The all star game doesn’t seem as important to me as it should, despite the “This one counts…” slogan. That slogan just…
How is this for a workout: First thing in the morning, a workout in the pool consisting of a 15 minute warm up and then 75 laps, 1 lap on each minute for 75 minutes. Then, in the evening, 1 mile repeats on a gravel path full of people. That is a little tougher than…
I first used Thorlos socks in October 2003 before the Maine Marathon. There was an expo the day before the race, and in order to use a coupon I had I needed to spend an extra $5 after purchasing a jacket. The extra $5 was spent on the socks (expos are great for discount apparel!)….
