Cherry Blossom 10 Miler

Check it out folks.  Despite a severe quadriceps contusion, and repeating warnings by my doctor not to run, I completed the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler!  In your face, medical science!

Pictures don't lie (but people do).  Just ask House.

For those who doubt, check the bib numbers.  They match.

So I've been thinking about changing the direction of this blog.  Sure, crudely drawn crayon art and half thought out rants garner some cheap laughs, but is that really what the public wants?  We can offer so much more.  From this moment on, http://1407burnbook.blogspot.com/ will be a runner's blog.  Each week, look forward to entertaining yarns on how far I've run, where I've run, and why I run (fear of commitment), along with tips for aspiring runners.  

Tip of the week:  Mix things up a bit.  Instead of the typical right, left, right, left, try left, right, left, right.  

Next week's topics:

- Shoes?  Pros and Cons.

- Are runners better than normal  people?

- Trees.  I ran by some.

Colleen - thoughts?

Safety Tidbit:  Don't text while running!  It will lead to disastrous falls over roots/loose bricks in the sidewalk/your shadow.   If you have to text while on the go, get behind the wheel of a car or something, but for the love of all that is holy DON'T TEXT WHILE YOU RUN. 

Also, RE: the upcoming topic, "Shoes" -- the guy I went on a date with last night was wearing Vibrams.  On our date. 

Was I supposed to publish that last part?  Oh well.
