Hi All (readers of my 110 blog and my Teens Run Yonkers - I'll be posting this in both)
Well, like the Seinfeld Series, all good things - OK,depending on your opinion, things - must come to an end or at least a temporary end. While I haven't shared a lot very personally, I'll share that this has been a tough few weeks for my family and I. I've had family members that have been challenged with health issues and it's been sad to folks that I love lose so much of themselves to these things. Not going into a lot of detail but I'm guessing you get it. As such, I really needed a run today to just clear my head and not think. One of our kids in teens run yonkers mentioned that he loved the feeling of just running and not having to do lots of thinking. So, I ran and ran and ran some more and was happy to put myself right on my marathon training schedule with a 20 mile run. Sometimes, especially when things are tough and you can't control, just getting out there and pushing and pushing till you accomplish something totally in your control, it feels good. Again, this is why we do Teens Run Yonkers - to teach young people about moving beyond self-imposed limits and getting to the place where you're in control.
Anyway, this was Day 124 - 14 past my originally goaded 110 days of running. While I absolutely love(d) doing this blog, I'm realizing it's relatively time consuming - and sort of mind dividing - to do two separate blogs. So this will be the final post - for awhile anyway - for the 110 blog. Starting tomorrow, I will be doing all my posting in the Teens Run Yonkers Daily Runner blog. For those of you who have been reading 110 and enjoying our occasional Seinfeld Trivia, I'll still try to kick that in from time to time. No reason we can't have some fun while motivating others to run. I'll also start adding a bit more about my own personal running and lessons learned into the Teens Run blog. We will finish up with the tips but again, will infuse it with some new stuff.
For those of you who read either of these, I welcome your thoughts, comments, suggestions and ideas for improving the blog, life, liberty and the pursuit of a perfect pair of running shoes (but I do have a couple of candidates!!) See you on the street

Congrats Steve on the 10K - and day something, something - George and Real Estate
I am beat but I am posting - this - something - just to keep myself in the game. But before I forget, a big congrats to one of the steadies (at least on the Seinfeld stuff - not sure he actually reads this!). But a big congrats to Steve Vinick on his recent run of the Cherry (is it blousom or tree?) 10 miler. Sounds like it was a great time. I'm also a little big familiar with that one as Teens Run DC, I guess what we'd call Teens Run Yonkers DC-cousin, participates in that one.
Anyway, had kind of a fun couple of runs today both 3++ ish so I'm calling it 7 for the day which is what I was supposed to be at for the marathon training schedule which I seem to be keeping more by accident than design. Did the run with the TRY team today which was fun, interesting and kept me going at a variety of paces - kind of fun to change it up like that. I've also been eager to run on this trail I always drive by at Tibbetts Broook where we do so many of our training runs. I had decided that if time worked out after the TRY run that I would hit the trail. So, I brought along this pair of Newton trail shoes I've been loving just as walk-arounds. But I was eager to see what running trail was like and I have to say - very cool. There is definitely something special about finishing a run - even if it is just 3 or 4 miles and having the shoes caked with mud and looking like you just ran Australia or some other super remote place. Very cool and on the radar permanently now.
Finally, since I've been in the hunt for office space now for a bit, I'm reminded of George's original career (before the Yankees, Play Now, Kruger Industrial Smoothing and probably lots of others). But speaking of George's real estate adventures, you may remembers he quits Rick-Bar properties. What instigates the final blow-up between him and his boss? What are some of the alternative career choices he contemplates after quitting? Finally, after Jerry is robbed, he finds a great apartment for Jerry to rent - tough one here - where EXACTLY is it? What's it very, very close to? Good night or good morning depending on when you're reading this!
