Ran a 10-mile race tonight in Newburyport in 1:24. Felt pretty good. It helped that temps were only in the 70s, as opposed to last year, when it was in the mid-90s. Yowch.

Not much else to report...it's been a long day. Oh yeah, one of the guitarists from Iron Butterfly died. I have to say my favorite Iron Butterfly moment was the "Simpsons" episode where Bart switched the church hymns with "In the Garden of Eden, by I. Ron Butterfly." A classic. The song was also used to good effect in the climactic scene of "Manhunter", the movie version of Thomas Harris' "Red Dragon" starring William Petersen.
