Ran the 2000 N hill route with Larry, Wayne, and Kevin (yes, Kevin) this morning. Going back to regular routes proved useful this morning as Kevin missed us at the start but caught us at the top of the hill. It was a beautiful morning and it was great having four good buddies out for a run. We talked about river trips and American Idol among other topics.

I got in 1.5 miles before meeting them for a total of 7.1 miles.

Hey Paul,

I had a dream last night that Tom and I were at a political rally for you! There were so many people there was not even any standing room left! You were up there speaking and everyone was handing you donations and cheering for you! I think you were running for president!

Good job on the hill route and on the campaign trail! You've got my vote!

That sounds more like a nightmare to me. I can think of very few things I would enjoy less than running for political office. I would much rather run a hill route, even Ragnar.

Just as the last person you'd want as a bishop is someone that was actively campaigning for the position, the worst candidates are those will say or do anything to get elected. Kim, I think you may be on to something here. Paul's got my vote!

Paul you know you've got my vote! VOTE FOR PAUL!!!!

Again, I'm not looking for votes. Quite the opposite. We'll see how much influence I have by seeing how effectively I can get one of you to take over being team captain for next year's relay.
