From the race results: "56 Brave souls completed 3.1 miles on Narragansett Beach with about another 50 running/walking the first 2 miles of the course. Race Director, Sylvan Viacaitis, gave all participants "glow braclets" so that they could be seen as they began the race at 4PM." Ken Deary was 2nd in his fleet 50s age group.

And, from the Narragansett, RI-based Surfline comes this interesting tidbit: The image of the week goes to American Airlines' new online ad campaign:  (found on latimes.com) which somehow manages to appropriate the Statue of Liberty and -- despite the recent raise of board charges (to ship a surfboard on the airplane) from $50 to $80 bucks -- presents American Airlines as a surfer-friendly airline. Hah!
