Game Changer!

I'm a game changer! The kind of game changer who comes up to the plate with the bases loaded and 0 outs in the bottom of the ninth of a one run game. The kind of game changer who only needs to put the ball into play to be effective. The kind of game changer who promptly hits into an unassisted triple play.

Took off yesterday to rest the legs a bit, so I made up for it today with an easy 4-miler. In the rain. Down by the river. Louisville's Riverfront Park is the starting/changing point of this weekend's Ironman event. Apparently, the entrants are to swim in the Ohio River. Hopefully, the course officials will remove the shopping carts, tires, trees and corpses from the banks before the event starts. It's pretty disgusting down there.

26 miles split between tomorrow and Sunday. Sunday's 18-miler will be my longest run yet. Hopefully I won't die in the 94 degree heat. If I do, I can still be a game changer. Just ask Norm Coleman about what a game changer a dead Paul Wellstone was.
