No time for a formal blog post today, but I wanted to report that I will be joggling the Shamrock Shuffle 8K today. One of the countries biggest 8K races. It should be fun. Right now however, I regretting the 14+ mile run that I did yesterday. I’m incredibly sore.
More details after the race.

At an enjoyable dinner the other evening, my father-in-law inquired about my latest project for 2008.
