News Flash...

The USA men won the silver medal at the World Cross Country Championships today. The Americans actually beat the Kenyan team!

PM: Five miles easy on the wood chip at Liberty Park. Felt good. Could have run further, could have run faster, but didn't.

Big shout out to my boys at Florida Gulf Coast University who made it to the Sweet 16! According to CBS Sports.com only .5% of those who filled out brackets made this pick. Count me in that group. When I was filling out my brackets I was looking for an upset special and I noticed that they beat Miami by 12 earlier this year and decided to go with them. Honestly, I never even heard of mighty FGCU even though I grew up in Florida!

I now feel ashamed that I have them losing in the Sweet 16. Should have gone with the Final Four.

Miracle on dirt!!! Yet this will get absolutely no press.

We now understand why you love the Peruvian Lodge so much during the winter. What a place!

If I was going to do a Top 10 list of things I love about Utah, The Fabulous Alta Peruvian Lodge would be up near the top. It's a really special place for Ann and I going all the way back to when we were you and Andrea's age.

I'm looking forward to your whole Top 10 list.

Andrea and I commented last night that we could see why you and Ann like the place, and we also agreed that it would have been fun if you two were up there with us! Guess we all need to run the dash and win some more vouchers for next season.

Rob, FGCU didn't come into existence until 1997. So you're quite safe not knowing it existed.

It is no doubt the Harvard of South Florida.
