I heard Grandma's Marathon is an awesome run, congrats on finishing it. And I know there is nothing like obsessively running to escape your obsessive tendencies. But they always seem to find the end of the run and just wait for me there.
for someone who complains about being a poor grad student a lot, it's interesting that you have money just lying around...
Just wanted to wish you the best next week at the Chicago Marathon. I’m anxiously awaiting lining up in Grant Park.
