HOLY CARP!!!
|
so i did the ashkelon 10K race under an hour, which was my goal. as some of u may know, ashkelon was the town which was missled last week when GWB was here visiting. some of the wounded were brought to my hosp and i saw a big fragment of metal removed from a woman, and thought, wow, that hunk of metal went from iran to gaza to ashkelon to...my office. anyway, i decided not to use my ipod while running, because i wanted to be able to hear, in case there was a siren for incomings.... and i bet i will be one of the few in the nyc marathon who had to worry about getting hit with a missle while training.... |

Dang, no get rich quick scheme here. Anyway, congrats Bach. I guessing that's even more impressive unless it was 60 degrees, 25% humidity and overcast. |

That should provide some additional motivation. |
