Personal:

Married with three children and one wife.The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French [woman] named Chloe with webbed feet. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

Des News 10k. 17th. 32:29. 4:50 10:08 5:14 5:22 5:44 I started strong and felt relaxed at a fast pace. I lost ground to Bob on the steep downhills but made up ground on the easier downhills. The last mile was painful. Nathan Hornok was 16th, Bob 15th, Dennis 13th, Joe 9th. The race was stacked. Sasha finished 3rd in the marathon and Steve 5th. Nice job on a hot day.

Olympus trailhead, AM, 7 miles. Right hamstring tight. Stopped to stretch at the trailhead. Treadmill, PM, 8 miles. Right hamstring still tight. I leave for Virginia/North Carolina tomorrow. Hopefully my hamstring doesn't get worse after sitting on a plane for hours.
