The best-laid running schemes of mice and men
Go oft awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!

To paraphrase Lisa Simpson: This is the best part of the year-- It's the longest possible time before having to direct this race again!
Thanks to all involved in Saturday's 27th annual Greasy-Gooney 10K! A fine crowd of 106 runners/walkers enjoyed a chilly jaunt around the loop, led by Johnny Lyons (38:31) & Candace DeLong (44:33). Results are up at GG10K.com; 5K splits/photos to come! HUGE thanks to our outstanding volunteer crew.

Recently picked up this massive 650+ page book, "The Visual History of Type" (cat included for scale), and oh mama, this is heaven for font nerds. 🤓 Details & samples of all the classics and then some! Even a few awful ones like Comic Sans and Times New Roman. 🤣

Hard to believe I've been in charge of this race for twenty years now! Come run this stupid thing on October 25th, or if you're feeling extra nice, I would be eternally grateful for some volunteer help on race day!
Surprise-- Registration is now open for the Shenandoah Valley's most scenic road race! The 27th annual Greasy-Gooney 10K is set for Sat. 10/25 in Browntown, VA. Challenging but scenic course, cheap awards, low-key small-race vibe. And running caps are back as the race premium! Full info: GG10K.com
