COT: Heath is a frequent COT topic. The Co-Q related some items that cannot be restated here because of HIPPA restrictions. But–the moral of the story can be emphasized here in writing: don’t be a tough guy! When something is wrong, go to a doctor; when you have problems attend to them.

COT:
Today is bring your kid to work day. I’m brining my 6 yo son to my office. I never got to do this as a kid so I wondered when it started. April 22 1993. I was about to enter high school. My mom was a teacher and my parents were split up so I don’t think I could have done it. So I hope one day he is able to look back on these days and appreciate the cool shit we did together. That’s all I got.

If you’re in the pack, try to catch the guy in front. Push your pace, it’s only 200 meters, we’ll get recovery. If you’re in the rear, don’t give up, catch your breath, push your pace next round.
