Barefoot Jesus?

Please tell me this isn't our own Pete Leonard from Spencerport, New York? Oh, wait, this man couldn't have been Pete, he only made it 11 miles, Pete would have finished. Plus this runner has much more upper body muscle than our Pete.(kidding).

John McEnroe?

I hated watching John McEnroe play tennis. Hate may be a strong word. I enjoyed watching when other players beat John because he was such a snot out on the court. Screaming at umpires, linesmen, his opponent, himself, it was always quite a show.
Sunday I turned on the television coverage of the NYC Marathon and who was one of the announcers? McEnroe. For running. Now John has become an excellent tennis announcer, but marathon running? Really, are we the only sport that needs outside assistance to be relevant? Fifty thousand people in the race isn't enough? I think out of 3 hours on television maybe 30 minutes was actually devoted to seeing the elite racers. 

Prize Winner

The rumors are true. I won the dvd, "Run for Your Life", the story of Fred Lebow and the NYC marathon. The Rochester Running Page webmaster had a trivia contest offering the dvd as a prize. I was one of 5 winners.

Definite proof that there is something good about sitting at a reference desk in a library all day and having a fast internet connection!
