Elite Eight

The coldest morning in a long time, I decided to run a race. My Under Armor kept me slightly warmer than if I had been running nude. But, the thought of finishing and getting into my warm car was motivating enough to finish in third place.

I'm not one to celebrate the mediocrity of a bronze medal, but I am one to be elated by great tickets to the Elite Eight game tonight in Syracuse. My father and I will be heading out soon to meet some people for lunch and then watch West Virginia and Kentucky fight it out for a spot in the Final Four.

I am excited to be back in the Dome. It has been quite some time. I used to run to the big bubble every morning when I was in grad school there, and hit up all the men's basketball games. It's a shame Jonathan won't be there with me like the good old days. And of course, Jeff would make for some good company too!
