The day got off to such a great start with an easy 10-mile run straight from home to save gas. After tackling Red Rock's hills on Monday's 12-mile run, the formally formidable hills on today's trot seemed flat as pancakes. That's 22 miles in just two days of running this week.
You might imagine with all this running I wear out shoes like paper towels. The trail shoes had covered hundreds of miles from Sunset Park to Red Rock to Lake Mead to White Rock Canyon to the Colorado River. Arizona, Montana and Nevada. They were coming apart at the seems and the tread was as thin as rubber tires after 500 miles on the Indy oval. So I flipped them in the back of my pickup truck to await a proper burial in the remotest part of the remotest trail. We proceeded on to the Village Runner where I purchased a new pair of New Balance 906 Off-Road Trail shoes. Made in America. Not by abused Asian workers in overseas sweat shops.
Mission accomplished it was time to kick back and watch the Sabres sweep the Senators. But Ottawa was not down and not out and staved off elimination with a hard-fought 2-1 victory. The Sabres will have three more chances to win the best-of-7 series. The night was salvaged when the Red Sox came from behind to beat the Yankees 5-3.
I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs. ~Jesse Owens

I think the problum was that the Sabres were not together as a team,but rather individual efforts.Few good passing plays to and at the goal.Long shots prevailed.We were both bumed out as we went to bed,hope the job gets done Sat.wonder what happens to all the brooms fans brought to the game?Go Sabres
