If you tune in to ESPN2 on Friday, January 30th at 7:00 pm or to NBC on Saturday, January 31st at 1:30 pm you'll see my son Mark run the boys' high school mile at the 102nd Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Mark qualified for the event at last week's Yale Invitational where he clocked a personal best of 4:14.68. See Mark run. That's him coming in 2nd to Westerly, RI's Andrew Springer. Mark's teammate Nick Ross placed 3rd and has also been invited to run the Millrose Mile. That means that East Greenwich High School, one of the smallest high schools in the smallest state, will have two entrants (out of nine) going for the gold.
Back in the glory days (1978 or '79), Marty and I went to a Springsteen concert at the Garden. We all thought the Boss was singing about our lives in Born to Run. Now the song takes on new meaning. Was it a prophecy?
Run Mark run.

It's on our calendar! Go Mark!
That's so great, PJ. You must be very proud. I'm getting my cells that day so I might not be able to watch. You guys certainly do seem "born to run."
Good luck Mark!
