Answer: IN THE RUNNING
(Nice figurative/literal pun! None of the clue words were new today, but all of the jumbles appear to be new. I struggled some with both “tenant” and “scenic”, so I’d say those were the tougher jumbled words. Nice letter groupings! The answer letter layout was swell, but the clue/question setup made the answer pretty obvious. Along with the great cartoon, of course. Another buddy of mine will be running the New York Marathon this year. I believe it will be his first, although his wife has run it a couple of times. Best of luck to Dr. Lou Medved! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
