Hey again everyone,

I know what you're thinking - "back from the dead, are you Bobby?"   Well, please accept my sincere apologies for the lack of "interaction" these past few weeks.   I've had a thing or two on the personal/professional side to deal with that has quite simply consumed my life...   Anyway, I'm back and should have two fairly exciting HOT weather adventures to write about over the next few months..

While generally one to appreciate a run with lots of twists and turns, I'm definitely not one to react well when life throws one or two my way.. Let's just say I'm glad I have a rolodex full of runs that are designed to clear my head..

"So what's going on Bobby?"

I am sponsoring a table at the Challenged Athletes Foundation's "Celebration of Heroes, Heart & Hope" in New York City the night of July 18th. I have FIVE seats to fill.

Individual seats are being sold for $500, but for any "Enthusiasts" out there, one of my seats can be yours for free for what should be a pretty amazing night!

Hi all -

A good friend left a message on my machine today wondering if I was OK.. Well - let me dispell a few of the nastier rumors:

- I did NOT fall off a cliff while pacing my friend Steve at the Western States and break every bone in my body...

- I did NOT get mauled by a mountain lion while pacing my friend Steve at Western States and lose half my blood volume...

Saturday afternoon: on my way to pace a friend the final 38 miles of the Western States 100...

Saturday night: laying on a bed in the emergency room..

Stay tuned for the reason why.

Hey everyone,

My posts have been sporadic, I know… Things should pick up in 3 days…

”how do I know that?”

Well – this weekend I’ll be pacing a friend of a friend (who I can say is now officially bumped up to “friend” status) for the final 38 miles of the Western States 100. With four river crossings to deal with, I can’t guarantee any pictures, but I can almost guarantee a story or two out of it.

Today I got to thinking (which usually gets me in to trouble).. What would a portfolio of stocks look like that consisted only of companies that are directly (or indirectly) running-related?

I flew down to San Diego yesterday for a retreat of the Board of Directors of the Challenged Athletes Foundation and figured out the secret to a good run in a pair of Newtons... GI Distress...

OK - so I've tried the Newtons.. Maybe it's my flat-footed/borderline heal striker running style or maybe it's the fact that I went from an extended vacation from running straight in to a new pair of shoes (very different shoes, I might add)..

I just don't see how these things are supposed to help!
