Thank you for finding your way to my blog. Now, if you could only find that stream-of-consciousness interview you wrote all those years ago, I'd really be impressed. Hello Ian!

I came in search of contact info and got the whole story on the relay team, vacation pictures, interesting quotes AND I found out that my fellow Nike employee of X decades ago, Tom Raynor, had the good sense to advertise on your blog. I even feel good about being called a freak. Well done on your 4 by 800 effort; you make history by your actions but you only write history if you post the results. BTW, Soren Kierkegaard was in some senses the first existentialist and was profoundly religious. It isn't necessarily atheistic (or gloomy) but I do enjoy the focus on passion, the individual, freedom, the irrationality of life and taking responsibility for your own actions. What a treat!

Better 5 than 3 laps for that mile. At least you erred on the side of caution. I still hold the Queen City Relays high-school record for the 2,600m run (supposed to be a 3,000). Ha!

Does anything more need to be said? I ran two relays last year, the first was a 4x800 and the bear jumped on my back after about 150, from there it was maintain form and try not to lose too much ground. The second was a DMR, and I had the 1600 leg. We'd moved into next to last prior to my leg, but when I messed up the count and ran FIVE laps it didn't help our team. But, we were out of scoring contention, so we were all able to laugh. “DAMN was it fun!!” Does anything more need to be said?
