Kevin runs some more, while I am lazy

At least someone is out there making sure the club's good name or bad name stays intact.  Over the weekend Kevin ran The Bench 5k in Stony Brook.  To paraphrase Kevin, "Never miss a race that finishes at a bar."

The course.  Well according to Kevin, it was two hills and a fraking mountain.  So there you go.   Kevin finished in 21:49:10.  In recognition of this accomplishment, and his great showing at the Long Island Half Marathon Kevin has been awarded with a new club title, "Minister of Stamps and Jeter Bombs."

Kevin placed 4th in his age group.  This has lead to a new club policy.  Anytime a club member places and gets any type of prize purse, it must first be used to buy other club members drinks.  Now, I am the first to admit, that as the only club member in any danger of winning a prize purse, this rule really only applies to Kevin. Some might say this is unfair.  To them I say, too bad.  The motion has been seconded and carried.

Registrations have been sent in for the Summer Run Series and in my case, the Sayville Summer Series.  I would love to say that I have been out putting in the miles, but that would be a lie.  And we all know you can't lie on the internet.  The pollen out here in god's country has been so thick the past few days that I haven't even gotten out the door.  Tomorrow I get back on track, with a 5 mile day.  Wednesday is a quick three, Thursday another 5 and Saturday is a sixer. 


In case you haven't heard I am running the NYC Marathon this year as a member of Fred's Team. Fred's Team is an organization that raises money for cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Take a moment to make a donation to Memorial Sloan Kettering by visiting Daniel Jimenez's Fred's Team Fundraising Page

Remember, give early and give often.  It is my goal to raise $3,000.
