With a race this Sunday at the Rock and Roll San Jose Half Marathon, I opted for a lighter solo workout this week, just running from work to Bayview Park to get it done. I felt good enough despite some G.I. issues toward the very end.

Speaking of which, I got a surprise call from the San Jose Mercury News to be interviewed about "second-tier" professional runners trying to make it in the sports. While it's more than generous to call myself "second-tier" next to the other guys mentioned above me in the article, I can see where I provided context for framing the struggle and sacrifices that some guys make to live the dream. Here's the link to the story:
