Seems Like a Lot of Work
With the pedestrian bridges under renovation, the trail work-around has required some getting used to. Enter Teddio, our faithful weekly census-taker, who’s not above a kvetch. The detour up to the Yellow Trail has us going up before the stone bridge and dropping back down just on the other side of the pedestrian bridges. Teddio: “I hate the idea of doing so much work just to end up where I started.” By Teddio logic, then, the best kind of race course is an end-to-end. A loop race would have to be a distant second. (The typical SRC run with Shawmont Avenue is a looped course.) An out-and-back would have to be a miserable third and a double-out-and-back a dishonorable mention. Here’s my suggestion, Teddio: You can save seats for us at Cedars House. See you when we get back!*

Fitness is like the blade of a knife; you want to sharpen it without ruining the blade.
--- Sally Jenkins, The Washington Post
Every time I have a personal or work problem, I go for a run.
--- the late Fred LeBow, long time race director of the NYC Marathon
Sometimes I wonder whether I run high mileage so I can eat like this, or do I eat like this so I can run high mileage?
--- Bill Rodgers, on his favorite snack of mayonnaise and chocolate chip cookies
--- [ED: He’s a legend and all, but mayonnaise ‘n’ choco chip cookies? Gag and double gag!]
