By now, many of you may have heard the rumor that I came from behind and won the Way Too Cool 50K in dramatic fashion with a 7 minute per mile pace over the entire 31 mile course, winning an automatic entry into this year’s Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run in June.
Those of you who have only known me for a little while probably dismissed it because you think I am way to slow to ever pull it off. And those who have known me for a long time may have raised an eyebrow because you know there was once a day when I could probably run a hilly mountain course faster than a lot of people, but then you remembered that I am not above starting an audacious rumor about myself in order to increase my popularity. So you dismissed it as well.
With many rumors, you often find upon further investigation that there is an interesting bit of information even in the midst of all the falsehood. So it is in this case.
You see, the winner of the Way Too Cool 50K has the same last name as me and his number was only one digit from mine. So that is probably how the rumor got started…. you can all relax now. I won’t be running the Western States 100 in June.
Wow, that is good to know. I mayy have had to make an emergency trip back to be part of the Pit crew for such an event.
But, what I would like know now is, when will you start your presidential campagne?
