AM - 5 miles easy, then biked up to work. Shaved another 2:38 off my time from yesterday!

PM - Biked home, then a short walk.

The old hometown newspaper called me the other day... they ran an article about the marathon. This has already made my Grandma's day today :-) And they labeled TOU as a "prestigious" marathon - a title usually reserved for Boston, etc. I think we can all agree that is accurate!

Like in School of Rock. "Don't you want to win the prize? It's prestigious!"

Nice piece of writing. Did it mention your time? I saw it mentioned the third place time.

Oh, yep. It did.

Good talking to you. I'll see you later.

Good chat, Burt.

Any time you can make grandma happy is a good day! Have a great weekend.

From Jake K on Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 09:46:48 from 155.100.226.191

Honestly that means more to me than any cash prize, etc. She is thrilled - that makes my day too.

I know exactly what you mean. My grandma is coming to visit next weekend and I've been looking forward to it since her and my grandpa booked their flights 6 months ago.

Your improvement curve in biking is outstanding.

So excited to read the article. How cool is that Jake? And I have to agree with you about things like this meaning much more than any type of prize.

From Jake K on Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 10:22:53 from 155.100.226.191

I'm not saying the $$$ wasn't nice too :-)

Assuming I continue to improve at this rate, I should be doing this ride in negative time in about another week.

Nice article. I like the mention you gave the guy who finished third - shows grace. Your 'granny' has every right to be proud of you.

Isn't that 2 articles in your granny's paper?

From Jake K on Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 20:24:16 from 67.177.11.154

An article every time I run a halfway decent (or subpar in the case of Boston) marathon. I could run a 1:02 half-marathon and no one would even care :-)
