SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

"I FEEL AS IF I'M ON MILE 1"

Time: 7:05 a.m.
Place: Haverstraw, N.Y.

I'll tell ya, I feel very old because I was a cub reporter at the Journal News in West Nyack and I was covering a controversial garbage burning plant proposal on the waterfront in the village of Haverstraw.

There was an old concrete-type storage area with a lot of weeds. Basically a vacant property with a bunch of concrete pipes.

I just passed the site about 2 minutes ago and there are these massive condos there on the site. It's amazing how things change over the years. That was 20 years ago, and it kind of tells you how much I've aged.

My legs are very fresh, and the weather is very nice. The training worked out well. I feel as if I'm on Mile 1.
