Levy Trail

I am on an all-out calorie-counting attempt to get into smaller pants. A byproduct of such are bouts of hypoglycemia, and they have become somewhat regular over the past week or so. I keep feeling as if I have them in hand, and then I go wobbling all over the Levy Trail, like tonight. I was out for 43:58 and happy to make it home unassisted and in one piece. For a while, I wasn't absolutely sure I was on Orange Street. It looked different to me.
By the way, my legs feel great.

PARAGRAPH OF THE DAY

From two brothers born in the 19th century, Oaklawn’s continued success, born and passed along as an interlock of goods and passion, has endured and blossomed through three generations. The late Charles Cella was the third owner and president of the thoroughbred racetrack founded in part by his grandfather and great-uncle Charles and Louis Cella in 1904, which opened for racing off Central Avenue on Feb. 24, 1905. Charles Cella, the founders’ grandson and nephew, died after a prolonged battle with Parkinson’s disease on Dec. 6, at the age of 81, five weeks short of what would have been his 51st season as track president.
