Touche, Mike

The Gauntlet was thrown and I defended my honor.

This morning I did a "long" 7 mile run. I write "long" because that's not really long for me -- at least when you've done 2 marathons, 7 is SHORT.

But I did this at a slow pace. Well....

Midway through my run, I'm on Prospect Park West coming up to the theatre. Between 12th and 13th street I notice something that looks like a leaf but isn't quite. I almost pass it when I take a second glance.

It's a $5 bill!

Hell's yeah! I snatch it and leap in the air. A few people see me and I shout to them "I make money on this run!" as I wave my newly found bill in the air.

Needless to say I felt elated and the rest of my run went superb.

So, Mike, about that bet. You initially stated $5. I have surpassed that. See you this Friday. I'll send you showtimes.
