In our time, surgery and medicine are closely allied disciplines. This was also true in ancient Greece and Rome. However, through the Renaissance and until the 18th century in Western Europe, surgery was considered more a trade than a profession, and surgeons had more to do with barbers than with physicians. Barber-surgeon guilds began appearing in England around the 13th century. In London, for example, trade guilds for barbers and surgeons can be traced at least to 1309. Our very own Dr. Z. continues this tradition 700 years later performing this elegant procedure on our latest half centenarian WJ at 4:45 a.m on the track.
Seven minutes before the procedure was completed, the rest of us started yet another loop at mature man’s pace only to be passed by the barber and patient 5 miles later. Amazing pace by Dr. Z and WJ breaking the 7 min/mi barrier by 2 sec. For those that have run the loop know what this means. If you can run 6:58 pace for the loop then minus 20 sec to get your marathon pace. In other words you can run much faster 26.2 miles than 16.2 loop miles. Conclusion: these guys can break 2:54 right now (6:38 pace) 4 months before St. George.

Despite having ran early saturday morning over 10 miles, my boys made a rare race appearance later in the evening. They continued the interlooper tradition of bringing hardware back to their trophy cabinets.

The question is no longer, “Can I run 50X400 on Thursday”. It is no longer, “Can I run Bart’s Loop two days later”. The question now is, “Can I survive a gaggle of 6 year old boys at Ben’s Birthday Party”???
Great Bart’s Loop today. Welcomed Frank Field to town for the event.
Come back Ken. Come back Manny. Come back Wayne. Come back Dan. Where’s Dave?
Here are the stats:

You know Mannie, it occurs to me. It is only because we have met you and come under your influence that we would even dare dream we could do something as "ridiculous" as this.
Thank you. I am very proud to call you my friend and I'm Grateful for you in my life.
Thank you all for the wonderful turn-out this morning. You all help me reach my goal: 50 X 400.

The pace will be reported on by N' by. I should think that as a group that "has no right" to be running like this, we represented ourselves very well. Average well below the predicted 90 seconds.
Thanks again, I could not have asked for a more special way to start my Big day.
Currently, riding quite high. A suspect a crash is eminent, what with the breakfast of:
Quart of Gatorade
Three GUs
Two Brownies
One piece of cheese cake
Life I love you, All is Groovy!

Wayne J. wrote Just got onto new website. What does it say about a group when the dead & alumni out-number the active members? Race today was a challenge, more a long tempo run than real race. great area to run in, did get a little sick of Speedway. We were sharing the road with large trucks for 14 of the 13 miles its all good. The perfect morning ended with coffee served in a bath-tub sized cup. Anticipating a crash later.

Pete Z. wrote Ken, we missed ya. Third place for Wayne, Fourth place for me (but somehow I will be probably be 5th place in my age group). Actually, 5th place runner was probably about 2 hours behind me, so there was plenty of room for an iLooper sweep. We could’ve used Icarus Katsanis, Eagle Eye Ingram, Shuffles Magoo and wise doc B. Overall a good time trial event for Wayne and me.
Wayne left me for dead at about mile 7.5, probably finished 2-3 minutes ahead of me. I was under the wave of sleepless three days of head cold doped up on antihistamines, decongestants.
What a long, strange trip it’s been…
