Yeah, so it's 4:30am. I got up 24 hours ago. I still have 3 and a half to go. Jesus. I hate CQ sometimes.
Still, I watched Miracle this evening. I fucking love that movie. It's an inspiration. One of my earliest memories was the Miracle on Ice. My family and I were on our way (oddly enough from DLI) to Goodfellow AFB in Texas and were spending the night in El Paso when the game was on.
All I remember from those days was bad things. The Hostage Crisis, the oil embargo, Afghanistan. And then these guys showed up and made everyone happy. I didn't know shit about ice hockey then, and I wouldn't for another ten years, but I remember that moment. I remember my aunt somehow finding out where we were staying calling us ecstatic about the game and a bunch of kids giving a bunch of down on their luck people something to believe in.

There's a triathlon in Pacific Grove every year. Details Here.
There are both Olympic and sprint distances.
And a reminder about the Big Sur Half-Marathon. Which is actually in Monterey. Great run, flat, along Ocean View Ave.
Both events will fill up several months prior.
