I had to be in Phoenix all last week for a conference and was stoked when my google maps fly-over found a dirt track nearby to workout on. Unfortunately Capt. Golf Cart discovered my unlawful intervalling half-way through my workout and made sure to escort me off the premises despite my pleas (I only had 10 minutes to go before my last interval). I was able to get my final run on the local jogging path (much to the confusion of some power-walkers), but it was definitely the first time I've been kicked off a track for running.
On the update front, this will probably be my last post of 2008 but that means 2009 and the track season is just around the corner. The Jets have their first meets coming up in January and I competed in my first meet last week. Also, in Pole-A-Thon news things have gotten off the ground surprisingly well. Huge, HUGE, thanks go out to my good buddy Ian Kenworthy, a hurdle teammate both at Saint Francis High School (he broke the school record I couldn't get) and UC Davis, and Team Awesome (Tyler Smith, Joe Huffsmith, and Dave Preston) for donating my first two poles - dubbed Glory Pole and Peppermint Taco respectively. Guys, I can't thank you enough.
For now, I get a couple of days in California to rest up and enjoy the family before getting back to Boston and buckling down for the season. Until then, have great holidays everybody.

It was funny to read about you getting kicked off a track and threatened with trespassing. Thanks for sharing the story.
Hope all is going well with your Pole-A-Thon fundraising page.
