Lawler, titan from class of '68, races the Alps....
Putting all his former classmates to shame, Brian Lawler, vsj class of 1968, has temporarily abandoned his Seattle law practice to race the Alps.
He's participating in the TransAlps run, which covers 180 miles and some 52,000 feet of elevation gain in eight days.
We, at the vsj blog, are unable to say why, but we commend Brian nonetheless.
Follow every creaky/heroic step at his web site here with his personal account here.
Finally, this photo shows Brian with a dark frothy 'training beverage' in what appears to be a large beer stein.
