Happy Birthday, Barefoot Ted!



Have fun,

-barefoot ken bob

Thanks Ken Bob



It was on July 1st.  I set out to run 45 miles (deciding the day

before that that might be fun) barefoot of course.  At 31 miles (50

kilometers) Leah suggested that I do kilometers, i.e., be finished, as

she wanted to go to dinner and I looked like I had fried...it has been

unusually hot here in Seattle.



So, that's what I did.

Go METRIC!



I think on my birthday (July 28), I will attempt to run 54 meters, and just to

make it more challenging, I will attempt to run that 54 meters in 54 seconds

(failing that, I will try to finish in under 54 minutes).



Have fun,

-barefoot ken bob

Metric indeed.



I remember being told in Elementary school that the USA would become a

metric country starting in 1976.  They taught us the metric system and

told us how lame the old system was.  Made sense to me at 6 years old.
