SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!! (AND HOME DEPOT HALF-MARATHON and 5K!!!)

[Pictures below]

Raiders: Rushed 19 yards
Buc's: Rushed 150 yards
Stanford Running Club: Rushed 188,672 yards

(that's a little over 107 miles)

Well, the weather was good and, except for three miles of coastal head wind from mile 9 to mile 12 (ouch), the course was fast. The 5k guys were awesome too; they waited around for an hour to cheer us half-marathoner on. Thanks to Ben for his house and rabbit-eared TV, and thanks to Eloy for the van -- capable of reaching 97 mph on the way back and capable of annoying everyone else on the road with its PA system.

Sorry guys, but I couldn't find pictures of:

and

Lukasz "Quickly" Fidkowski

This just in...we did get pictures of Pratap "Renegade" Ranade and Jason "Wiley" Detwiler.

Thanks to some photography by a chance, orbiting satellite, we get see them in their element. That's a pixilated smile if I ever did see one.
