A few weeks ago, I set a new personal record for the Round-The-Block Run--aka the 1500 Meter Dash--but gradually became slower every time I ran afterwards for some time.

He was also just 13 years old, and police caught him when he lost control and crashed. District Judge Jonathon Finestein sentenced the boy to four months in custody, plus a driving ban for four years — to start when he becomes eligible for a driver’s license. Judge Finestein, citing the “exceptional” nature of the case, allowed newspapers to report the boy’s identity despite his age: Jon Smee.
