Clyde Behunin was born 33 years ago to this day. Sometimes I wonder how he must of felt like coming into this world. Shell shocked and excited is probably how the little guy first saw the world. It just seemed like yesterday he first joined us in this small journey we sometimes call "life."

We went to dinner on Saturday night at La Frontera and Clyde brought up the idea that he wanted to run 33 miles for his birthday. Dave, Steve, and I looked at each other and decided that would be one of the craziest things to do. Running 33 miles wasn't that bad but doing it at 12am (midnight) would make it that much crazier. Sure enough, we all decided to meet at Clyde's at midnight and run with him for his birthday. I am sure our wives thought we were clinically insane.

We started at midnight and did our old tempo loop for close to 13 miles and then did our normal Wednesday morning Clyde's loop x 2. We did those loops in reverse today though. I was basically running on empty the whole time since I hadn't sleep in what seemed like days but we all survived and now have something to talk about for the rest of our lives. We did the 3 loops in just over 4 hours.

Dave, Steve, and I decided that Clyde's birthdays suck and we either want a magician or a clown for next year. Happy birthday Superfly! You are truly one of a kind :)
