I forgot pictures...

I mean if I am going to mention one of the world's most handsome men I should throw in a pic or 2 right?
OK - so if you were to give him some velcro sneaks... he kinda would look like my dad... Or vice versa.
When I was a kid my parents liked to go to the Poconos to watch racing. No not NASCAR - YICK. IRL is it? I haven't grown up to be a big fan of any of it. However one time I do remember going along. And Paul Newman was racing. And my mom and I walked down to the bottom to get a better view of Mr. Newman as he sped by in his #33 Nissan. Funny the things you remember.
I think THIS will be the movie I watch this evening. Originally I said The Sting but I don't know this one.... A fun story - I love when they have to jump off the cliff into the river below and The Kid doesn't know how to swim.
And finally the triathlon relevance... Although I have to do some research to reference the exact movie. Joanne Woodward plays a mom maybe in her 40s maybe older - it has been a while since I have seen the movie. Her character decides that she is going to run a marathon. And at the end of the movie and hours after everyone else she finished her marathon. In talking with others I have referenced movie numerous times as being part of my inspiration. So when I come over the finish line hours after everyone else next Sunday it will be OK... It will have lots of meaning and symbolism etc etc...
