CT Interval Ride. Was supposed to run, but my knees are sore so I decided to ride and not take the pounding on my knees.

I should have run home from work today.  My wife ran home and almost collided with a guy at Oak Street Beach.  Just as she went to yell at him, she noticed it was Jermey Piven.  I guess his premire for his new movie was last week and he did the 7th inning stretch on Saturday.
