The Greatest Ever ? Whenever someone is anointed this title, or even mentioned as a possible, I always tend to cheer for them. Not just to jump on the bandwagon though. I want to see the best ever be the best ever. I want the great to be great. That is why I tried so hard today to watch as much of the U.S. Open as I could. I was able to catch the first couple of holes during a later than usual lunch. Saved all my paperwork until the afternoon so I could do it with the match on. Listened to several holes on my XM radio in the car. And caught the final holes at home after work. I do not know whether Tiger Woods is the best ever or not. He is at least the best who has played since I can remember watching golf as a kid. So that is why I wanted him to win today. Not that I was rooting against Rocco. I would have been happy to see him win too. But today Tiger was, in the end, the best ! It was 97F when the match was over. No way I was going to torture myself. So I went to the gym and ran 4 on the treadmill. Since it is easy to set a pace I ended up running faster than normal. It felt good, but lots of sweat. I cleaned the machine before I left. The lady who works there mentioned that someone had said some guy in there was spraying sweat all over her. Hey what do you expect, it is a workout facility after all. Treadmill - 4 miles - 28:45 - 7:11 Ran 4 more miles after dark. Only 79f. There was lightning in the air and some distant thunder. So I stepped up the pace. This was the fastest I have run in a long time.
