4×400 Meter Relay (in 1992) aka “I used to be a runner…”
A hundred years ago (or 18-ish) I used to be a competitive runner. And I used to run with a good group of guys — Ryan Thorn, Jason Brunette, Jay Lillie — in the 4×400 and some other folks in the 4×800 in high school. Loved my experience at Northwestern University, but kind of wish I could have built on the high school successes… Whatevs. Fun to watch two decades later. Even Colin thought it was cool… (“Again!”)
Yeah, that’s me anchoring.

Thanks to my lil’ brother for turning this VHS tape into a DVD a couple (more?) years back that I finally uncovered and turned into 1′s and 0′s I could upload to YouTube…
“Fun Day” @ Swim Class
Colin had a great time at Swim Class today at the Maplewood Community Pool. A big benefit of joining is the free swim lessons (just for Colin; Hannah can do them next year) that are building on his classes from the Summit YMCA. Anyway, check out the video of his first jump off a diving board (!)… No fear. Love it!
