The Fall 2008 plan

What's with this funky blog title?

Well let me explain. The Quadrathon, actually the Quadrathlon was originally two (male/female) events comprising four disciplines; 1 mile, 5K, 10K and overall distance event masterminded by Snowcrash on the Nike+ site. The purpose of this blog was to highlight the event and results and provide the competitors with a place to visit that they could catch up on all the gossip. I never had any real intention of it becoming a real or personal blog but along the way I hijacked it and it became exactly that!

That was in 2006!
