Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

Do they call themselves Trojans?

Very astute, Rob. Yes, the Troy (Athens High) Trojans. The school's football stadium/track is pretty impressive. I plan to do some speedwork there tomorrow or Saturday.

I think of Detroit as "the Athens of America".

While you're there you might buzz down to Wyandotte, the city of my birth. and my dad's I might add.

Wyandotte is one of the "grittier", more working class suburbs of Detroit as compared to the much more affluent Oakland County.
