The San Antonio Rockhoppers annual Beer and Donut Mile was today.

Here’s our post-gluttony photo.

Eliot was out of town, and as I like to savor both my donuts and my beer, Asa represented the Howard family.

The last time he ran the Donut Mile, he DNF’d after Donut #2. This year, he and his pancreas dug deep. I’m calling this photo “Glazed.”

He did not,  however, beat Chris.

Despite Stefan’s pre-race warmup.

As the kids get older, I’m more conflicted about taking them to the Beer Mile. Asa and I talked a bit about immoderation and drinking to excess on the way out to the get together, but mostly, I let gluttony do the teaching.

What’s making me happy:

This picture my friend Casey sent me of Lou Meyers who is 90 years-old and did the trail half marathon at Grasslands last weekend.

Running: 7 trail miles with a speedy friend who almost killed me.
