Time to get my run on

Just got back from my 6 mile run. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to run. Who knew?!? Back in the day, my uncle Tyrone Pannell (they called him Rony) was a college track star and I think some of it rubbed off on me. SWEET!!

Logan later got to watch his friend at Manhattan College, Tyrone Pannell, a superb hurdler and high jumper. After graduation, Pannell joined the Marines and Logan joined the Army and both went to Vietnam, but only Logan came back alive.

“Tyrone never fell,” Logan said, recalling the old days of the wooden track. “The ham-and-eggers fell but not Tyrone.” – The NY Times
