My wife and kids, on the other hand (I was commuting from Upstate on weekends and living in the city weekdays) being in a 10-year old car kept me awake nights more than once. I would still prefer not to have a car, but it's hard to get by without one.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100724378087219960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-1145670814704433772006-04-22T02:53:00.000+01:002006-04-22T02:53:00.000+01:00Good job on the miles.

I'm too cheap to buy new stuff so I guess it's my own doing.<BR/><BR/>Good work on the runs Thomas and good luck with the 11 miler on Sunday. Question: Do you guys measure K's or M's in Ireland? It's K's in Canada.
