Name: Brendan Byrne
Location: Rochester, New York, United States

Born in St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, New York. Attended Jesuit School (kind of like Catholic School, only more so) and went to a Public College. Relocated to Atlanta in June, 2000, and to Staten Island in 2004. Back to Rochester in 2005. Trying to get back into racing shape. I nicknamed my daughter Electra and my son Oed (short for Oedipus) because they are walking, talking examples of the respective complexes.

Hot weather

When I left on my run this morning, the temperature was about 68°. It was nice, not too much humidity, and the sun was shining. but not too intense.

By the time I finished, the sun was intense and the temperature was almost 75°. It took only 36 minutes for that to happen.

I'll have to get up earlier tomorrow and see if I can get out before the heat starts. Lots of people out today, including a contingent from the local high school cross-country team. About 5 or 6 of them were finishing up at the same time I was.

My ankle feels good today, no pain, even after the run. The swelling has gone down (although I've always had puffy feet).

I was almost killed out there. Well, maybe not almost killed, but there was a bit of a hazard. I was crossing an intersection, the light was green for me, and some guy turning right on red didn't bother looking right, or even coming to a complete stop, before going. I had to dodge his car and I yelled "Watch out!" at which point he slammed on the brakes and apologized.
