Happy 4th of July

Helping the people of Ethiopia is a great idea. Running your 8-mile training run in the middle of day of the Fourth of July (what was it, like 120 degrees today) is not a good idea. Around mile 2 I realized that I am really starting to get old. At mile 8, there was no more "starting to get old", I hit the old plateau and am headed to McDonald's for my senior coffee.
