Happy 4th of July to you, America. This is my first blog entry on what hopes to be an adventerous next few months. At the end of this week I will be departing my hometown, Lawrence, Kansas, to head northwest to the Equality State -- Wyoming. There I will be working as a Guest Service Agent at one of the many lodging facilities inside Yellowstone National Park. If I knew which one I was working at I would gladly disclose that information, but I do not. Sorry.
Today started off with a true bang as it was race day for all of the elite athletes in the Lawrence-Kansas City-Topeka area. The Mass Street Mile was ran in conjuction with the Tour of Lawrence. It was a great race, and very fast. The winning time for the men's race was somewhere around a 4:43. I came in sixth (second in my age group) at 5:04 and Jacob rounded out the top 10 with a 5:19. I was pleased, and also surprised, with the competition this morning. I feel we could have ran faster, but we decided not to use EPO this morning. 
This was a nice follow up to attending the Tour of Lawrence up on the University of Kansas campus last night. There was some great racing and plenty of fans. Really, a great atmosphere. It's about time Lawrence hosts more events like this. I think the community here can really support these types of things and help them become very successful.
I will now proceed to light fireworks illegally in the Lawrence city limits.
