Happy Birthday Rob!

I'm a day late, but happy birthday!

When you said 56th trip around the sun, I thought you meant how far you had run (like how some people have run the equivalent of 1x around the earth). Then I figured even once around the sun was probably too far even for a stud like you.

Happy birthday my good friend!

You're not a day late Jon. It's today. Thanks everyone.

Happy Birthday!

(didn't get it at first, was thinking a distance equal to 56 times around the sun which would be impossible to run in one lifetime).

Happy Birthday, Rob. We’ve never officially met, but I look up to you in so many ways.
