Founding Member of the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir passed away today at age 78.

While The Grateful Dead were together, from 1965 to 1995, they released thirteen studio albums and nine contemporary live albums.

Bob Weir also released and toured under his own name as well as parts of bands.

His first solo album, Ace, released in 1972, is a favorite of mine.

Marathoning on this day...  1996

I participated in the annual "Fat Ass 50" in North Adams, Massachusetts.

This event consisted of many loops on the road, on a cold, gray day. 

There was a bad snowstorm on the drive home.

I have a time listed of  5:32:35, and I think that was for 26.2 miles - not 50k.

This was my 8th marathon completed.

On this day in 1997... 

I completed my 14th marathon on this day in 1997.  

It was the Grupa Dupa held at the Talcott Mountain State Park, home of the Heublein Tower. 

I believe Tony W and Janice K were the organizers of this "Fat Ass 50" type event.  

It consisted of loops up and around the tower, but I do not recall how many.  

It was 50k, and I recorded a time of 5:11:13.
