Today was great, but let's not forget ? we're a running team. This was an unusual situation. We were going to take what they were giving us.

I was very aware of shoes when I was running track. The American shoes were offshoots of tire companies. Shoes cost $5, and you would come back from a 5-mile run with your feet bleeding.

It feels great. I think they were a little more relaxed today. It's hard to teach them to forget about the last point and move on, but they did that today. We're hoping that will continue into next week.

why does a 67-year-old guy who got his start running an athletic shoe company… think he can enter a field famous for gobbling up fortunes?

I know I wouldn't want to be a running back [today].

I would like to thank everyone for coming out today for my official announcement on running for Staunton City Council.
