Easy 7 in the gully before my runners arrived. Solid strength workout after plus some swimming.

Page 106 in John L. Parker's new novel about Quenton Cassidy has young Quenton beating Dunedin's Del Ramers in an 880. Ramers went to my high school and holds the school record in the mile (4:10 run in 1969) and went on to a solid career at Florida State.

If you google Del Ramers, Dunedin you can learn more.

Do you already have the book?

I do. It's been at Barnes and Noble since Saturday.

I love this book. I've dog-eared about 10 pages in it and read it through twice.

Makes you want to do one of your 30 milers through the Everglades I bet?

Started the book this morning. Reminded me of my early years growing up in Florida.
