I mentioned Alex Bain and Tyler McNeil and Jonathan Brunot, who’ve all run marathons, while encouraging Charlie to try the treadmill on Tuesday: Today’s Ventura County Star reports on 15-year-old Joshua Otani, who’s a member of the Pacifica cross country team. He competed in the Pacific View League Championships and is thinking of joining the track team, too.
Guess we’ll have to keep at that treadmill to catch up!

Congratulations to all of these runners and especially to Alex Bain for winning the iRun award.
I have seen some comments on other blogs that objected to his running “for” autism. My comment to Alex – don’t listen to them; keep right on running. I would like to be along the route so I could applaud you on.
