"Ad astra per alia porci" » Running http://carneal.org To the stars on the wings of a pig. A lumbering soul but trying to fly.

It’s a love, hate relationship this running thing. However, if there is one city that can make the last six miles of marathoning a fond memory, San Fran is the one. The temperature was a perfect 63 degrees Fahrenheit and the Cytomax was lukewarm and fresh from the plastic bottle. Scott and I cruised through the first twenty miles, racing cars across the golden gate and intimidating the sea lions along the fisherman’s wharf. Unfortunately, the last six miles included an incline other than “flat” and “downhill.” However, this did not deter us. My time you ask? Well, that would be a number as close to the four hour mark without going over…that’s right, I finished the race in 3:59:59. Check out the pics and assorted SFM paraphernalia.

This is a very simple recipe, packed with carbs.

1/2 package of spaghetti (the normal size package)
1 can of tuna
4 oz of shredded swiss cheese
bundle of green onions, chopped
1 4 oz can black olives
1 4 oz jar of pimientos
Cook the spaghetti according to manufacturer instructions. Drain and place in bowl. Add the remainder of ingredients, toss, serve. You may want to sprinkle with a little parmesan cheese, for taste (and mouth feel).
