On a completely unrelated note...
it seems as though I will have the honor of "working" alongside none other than Marcus O'Sullivan and Peter Rono, during my seven-day stint in August as a counselor/coach for X-treme Youth Running Camp, directed by Guy & Laurie Gordon [with whom I happened to come into contact only out of sheer luck, with a little help from Mike Celizic].
For those of you who understand and/or crea: How cool is that?
