Mileage for today: 20 Starting point is the McDonald's on Bayfield Parkway in Concord. Stopping point is the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte located at 1600 East Morehead. Today's run is dedicated in memory to Wanda Gadomski who died of breast cancer at age 38 on this day 12 years ago and also to Ronald Santos who at 45 is battling aggressive colon cancer with prognosis of 2-3 months left to live. Both these dedications are submitted by their sister Sandra Walton. Start your engines. Well, today started off pretty good. Not as cool as it had been the last few days and the Achilles feels better everyday. I'm still being a good boy by icing and stretching it, but it feels great. Originally, I was going to stop at a McDonald's restaurant today, that was until I found out they are in the process of building a House in Charlotte. So, I stopped there. This made today's run a short 20 miles. I realize how sick that sounds, 20 miles is short run but that is what it turns out to be. Tomorrow will now be a 38 miles day . . . ugghhhh. I can add Lowe's Motor Speedway to my list of cool things I've run past. It is amazing how big that place is. I do have a bad bit of news to share. I had to let my new girl, Nicole Ducouer, go. Things just weren't working out. But don't worry, I let her down softly. I told her to keep her chin up and that its a big pond out there with plenty of fish in it. This does mean that I'm officially looking for another Four Million Steps girlfriend. Now, you don't necessary have to work in TV and in fact if you look anything like Nicole I don't give a damn what you do for a living. No license plates again today and nothing to add to the petty zoo, but I did have three more interviews and all of them were on TV. |
