Full Metal Lunchbox

 

Here are the headlines:

1)  Worst concert ever = "Then Again" at Joe's Bar.  Horrible frathouse music.  Let us never speak of it again.

2)  Condo = sold!

3)  Josh's new personal distance record = 12.5 miles!

The first 9 miles yesterday was a solo run from my apartment to the Shedd Acquarium downtown, where I was joined by Jay, Manh, and Sergio for my final 3 1/2 miles.  The whole run wasn't as much of an effort as I thought it would be, but my knees were dead aftewards.

Here is a picture of me at Navy Pier, waiting for Jay to pick me up and drive us to Twisted Spoke for my usual post-run bloody mary and buffalo chicken sandwich.  Manh wanted to walk around a bit, but I was generally unable to move.

This Thursday is the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge, when all of Chicago's most oppressive corporations field teams of runners/walkers wearing identical t-shirts.  I'll be there with Jay and Sergio, but we wont be wearing our company facist shirts.

Look for us in the JP Morgan tent wearing our Gumballhead the Cat t-shirts, smoking cigars after the race.
