5 months after it happened, I finally did the full write up on Dale buying me a plane ticket and my Logan Peak race report.  Better late than never, but this story needed to be told. 

 Now maybe I can catch up on my 6 other missing race reports.  Ok, that probably won't happen... 

Lunch- 5 with Dan and Webster, 4 strides. 

Fuel Miles: 5.00

Correction. Used his frequent flyer miles that he gets for free when he travels to front you a plane ticket, which you repaid with cash money. Oops, I probably just admitted to breaking the law, or the Delta Terms of FF miles or something. Anyway, I'm not that generous. Nor am I independently wealthy (yet), so lets keep this in perspective. Don't need a bunch of freeloaders begging me to buy them stuff.

Eh, you won't get any freeloaders. Just some admiration. I won't tell delta, either, especially since you we're donating miles pro bono originally.

Great story. And here I was thinking someone you knew named Dale changed the name of your blog when you were still logged in . . .
