Mercedes Benz Classic Mile

We are here watching the Classic Mile in Cambridge. Very exciting! As we entered the spectators area we were standing right next to Ed Whitlock!! He said he hasn't run since last August because of knee problems. Gained 15 lbs! But you'd never know it as he was looking pretty slim, even with those 15 lbs. Very cool to meet him. I told him he beats me in every marathon we run together!

And as we sit down a man sitting behind me asked if the "Older than Boston" was the Around the Bay race. Yes, I said. "Well", he said, "have you ever seen St Ralph"? Of course, I say. He says, the boy is my son." I asked if he still runs. He said NO, he is not a runner at all, he is an actor.
