Greetings all,

It is officially 7 days since the ol’ GB and I parted ways. The past week has been interesting but I’m doing better every day. I am not 100% yet so I have put off trying to run until tomorrow at the earliest and honestly need some rest.  So just trying to take it as easy as possible over the next few days to get better faster.

I turned 37 on March 9th and I would like to thank everyone for all of the great Birthday Wishes this week and wish my fellow B-Day buddies (Erica, Chris, Kayla, Thein, Tricia L., Samuel Barber and Kato Kaelin) a happy one as well! Im sure I missed a couple of you, sorry.

I would also like to pour one out to my Homie Biggie Smalls

(Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997),

and wish my birthday roommate Amy a Happy Birthday on March 10th. (Our mom’s labored together in a hospital room on the days we were born. We then proceeded to go to the same nursery school, live in the same town and went to High School together as well 🙂

 I am a believer in that you get back what you put out there so I am grateful for all of the well wishes and positive feedback that has been sent my way from all of my Friends, Family, and Co-workers over the past week. I also got great gifts from my wife and kids which I will use to gear up for the Marathon on May 1st. I would love to hear Marathon tips (foods, gels, clothes, drinks, rituals etc.) So leave some comments!

The greatest birthday gift I could ask for this year, besides socks of course, thanks Nicole 😉  Would be a donation to my personal campaign for the AFSP (link on the left) if you have not done so already. If you have thanks! then tell someone else about it and get them to donate too! $1,$2 or $100,0000 anything is great and 100% goes to the AFSP who help those who are in need.

Additionally, Mrs. Joanne Fiume is running a beefsteak in honor of her late husband Fred (The Freddy in Running for Eddie and Freddy) Word doc and PDF flyer attached below. The Date is April 16th at the Elks in Rutherford. Deadline to mail in the flyer is April 10th.

for being the top commenter her on jonkinne.com with a life time contribution of TWO comments, beating out my mother in law Pat by 50% ! Thanks Mike! Remember- America,SPORTS! and Semantics sir… making it all great again.
