Brandon’s night runs are going to have the best bands going forward. "They talk about how diverse they are, and things like that, and it's fine if you're diverse like them. But showing up with a deer on the bumper doesn't fly in Marin County. My form of eating organic doesn't vibe with theirs."
I guess going a bit more with the technology muttering I was going through yesterday … a decade ago, so called FKTs were pretty much just a declaration … you could be called out to “prove it” by putting up a similar performance, but it was pretty much based on your word. I recall a certain run up Green Mountain where a guy claimed to have broken a half an hour, even though he did not have a watch but based it off a watch someone had at the summit and then the difference in seconds he got from the next runner behind him. No GPS, no Strava. Given the guy would break an hour on Mount Washington, we assumed he probably did that. These days though, you need the GPS.
Busy days as of late … Christmas prep, running, the boy getting his license, working with him to push through some stuff (e.g Scouts) that he has put off to the holiday break and work. The good news about being your own boss and having your own business … you can take whatever time you want off. The bad news is – particular in the internet world - is that you can work whenever you want.
Rupp is doing Boston. As is Meb. And Ward. And Shalane. And Desi. And a host of other Americans. Its the trials part duex.
Boy got his license today. 
Here he is talking to his sister in Germany via a video call recently.
