Brian and I ran the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon, a 13.1 mile race, on May 3. It starts in downtown Indy, goes out to the Speedway, around the race track, and back to downtown.

How Many Have You Read: I tried to read A heartbreaking work of staggering genius. I couldn’t finish it. Too self-indulgent, too many words to get to the point. I made it about half-way through before it returned to the library. Things I Get Jazzed About: Sarah, I can’t wait to see you at your […]

On Sunday Su and I ran 10k in 57:20 on a hot and humid afternoon. My previous best time this year was 1:00:00 on June 29. On […]
