The most yardage BYU will get at UVA this year


Whenever I'm on a run and go past a parked car, I can't help but look at the window.  It's obviously not to see if there's anything worth taking inside the car but rather I like to check out my running form and also to make sure I still have my "swell on" from doing push-ups beforehand.  I'd be willing to bet that this is a shared trait amongst one or more of the Tustison clan.  Anyway, this recent Father's Day this quirk was taken to a whole new level when I had my final 50 yards projected on the UVA football stadium screen.  The Men's 4 Miler is an annual race just for men to raise money for men's health issues typically limited to about 400 people (the woman's analog is a much bigger race attracting closer to 10,000 participants).  However, despite its size it is a pretty competitive race on a relatively hilly course.  The winner this year finished in 19:51.  I was a bit slower at 23:57 but I did get first in my age group (that guy behind me on the screen won the age group last year).  And I owe it all to the Brazil shorts.

That is some serious 'smack talk'. But seriously you look great. That is definitely a Tustison trait. More that one of us have been known to do that.

Awesome picture and results. Maybe you should send the shorts to bronco so the Y can get your yardage.
