Today is April Fool's Day. Make it a foolish one.
Hard to believe it's already April. And if the April showers thing holds true, we hope to get some much-needed rain today. We could use a real gully-washer to take away all the pollen, the counts of which have been in the billions. (A slight exaggeration?)
Found this cool article in Runner's World magazine. A great line: "You gotta be looking good when you pass the ex-girlfriends, that's like the number-one rule." That's from Peter Sagal, the subject of the story, referring to running a marathon and spotting his ex's. He's the host of NPR's "Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me." What's inspiring about him is that he's a Regular Person like most of the rest of us: He isn't a natural-born athlete (by his own admission); he wasn't competitive at a young age and in fact he was overweight as a teen and young adult and decided to do something about it. Now he's training for the Boston Marathon. How cool is that?

Marathons are for the insane. Or the Greek. (If that's not redundant.) That said, I've run a 10K before, back when I had knees.
