But today....
SNOW! Man, what a place. I am in London today and it snowed like nobody's business. Needless to say that I was not motivated to get out into the white stuff, thus giving myself a day off.
I was VERY happy to see that both Hicham and Mike had great races at the Comox Valley Half Marathon. Running 1:14:59 and 1:15:29, respectively, I am quite impressed (not to mention that both just crushed my PR for a half marathon). Now, you have to understand, that this is not out of some selfless pride that I write that I am pleased - no, not at all. I write this because these are two of my training partners and if they are running this well, well, that bodes well for me this weekend in my race. At least I hope so...
Seriously, and Rumon as well, congrats on a great day.
I am off to the races (of the horse variety).

Thanks for the shout-out, Brad! No question, Michael was impressive out there yesterday, but there's no question a 1:14/15 would have been your also if you were there. Soon enough.
Ah, but yes young Pheidippides, you are carrying the ancient Greek god curse of "carrytheweatherwithyou". First noticed in anti-La La Land 03/17 am after your incredible accomplishment of lowering AC's profit by 10% and stock by 8% with one single trip to the Maple Leaf Lounge (source: ROB, 03/18 CTV). Snow, ice, rain & rain & rain, ice, sun, more ice, rain and finally snow, all in 3-1/2 days. Mythology has it that the curse can be exorcised only by setting a PR in a run around a bay near a metropolis known as Hamilton, land of red skies, known to be the correct place by seeing the centre of the universe in the distance marked by a tall spear pointing to the sky. Only then will Miltiades grand freedom.

(Aside: must phone Gates about that new Mac peripheral called "Athletic Facility".)
A quick haircut? Thanks man, like Carter said, you would've been with us... good luck this weekend!
