Thanks for running me in Greg that was very nice and incredibly helpful.

Around mile 23 I had a moment of clarity and realized that no matter how fast I go father time is going to catch me. I really need to start taking better care of myself. I should be applying 5 week plans to being a better father/husband. Five weeks to a better job that will not suck my sole.

After the marathon bombings and the images of the boy who was killed and his message of peace I decided to see if I could muster the determination to run fast enough to qualify.

And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it

but I probably will

Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture

a little of the glory of, well time slips away

and leaves you with nothing mister but

boring stories of glory days
