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.

Maybe I'm ready

Maybe I'm ready to start running again. Yesterday morning, I went out out the bus on my way to work (I live almost across the street from the first stop on the route, so the bus pulls in and waits a few minutes). I was about one bus-length behind the bus when the driver pulled away. Without really thinking about it, I took off after it. The next stop is about a quarter-mile away, and the driver has to go around an intersection of three roads -- a right turn, then a quick left. I was less than a hundred yards away from the stop when he went through. If he'd had a red light, I would have caught him. My back didn't give me any trouble all day after that.










Today, I'm going to get out to the bus a little earlier.
