Mt. Dora Bible Invitational Recap

I did almost all of my long summer runs here and the Mount Dora Bible course has to be one of the hardest in the state. It's hills are grueling and seem to be placed in the worst places. Knowing you have to do two loops of it for it to be a full 5K, is almost as mentally exhausting as it is physically. Thankfully, Saturday at the 39th Mount Dora Bible Invitational the weather was absolutely beautiful with the temperature at a comfortable 75 degrees for both the girls and boy's varsity as well as JV races.

Ralph's Musings: West Orange Invitational

Although generally attributed to Horace Greeley, that irrepressible, mid-19th Century editor of the New York Tribune, the phrase “Go West, Ralph,” apparently has not, definitively, been proven as his. I can, however, clarify that the phrase was used at least once—on a far more recent occasion—during a cell-phone conversation (circa) October 19, 2012.
