So the other night, I went to a club in Providence with jewfroart (paths4byzantium drove, so all was good) and in the course of the night, I found myself on the smoke deck talking to another runner, who had just signed up for an 8K in Little Compton, RI. (LC... which I can't help but compare to, well, the 'big' Compton near Los Angeles... is a small town across the Sakonet River from the island I live on.) Rather than say the normal thing... 'yeah, I used to run marathons but haven't really run more than ten times in the last two months...' I said 'wow! that sounds cool! I'll go sign up.' So, I have eight days to get ready for an 8K next Saturday.
