Personal:

I'm married to Nan Kennard and she kicks my butt at running.  She has beat me handily in every race we have done together except for a downhill mile we did once.  She is my running inspiration.  I'd like to run a marathon with her someday and actually keep up.

Some easy shakeout miles...last little jaunt before the race tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to actually running again tomorrow...I'm kind of bored with these little 4 mile warm up jogs that end before they begin.  

But todays was a little more interesting because after a mile of like 9:30 pace waking up, Brendan Trimboli caught up with me from behind, so it woke me up and we ran the dirt road loop together in a more normal 7:30 ish pace before I headed the .5 to home.  He's a cool kid, and I imagine we'll run more often this year as we live a few blocks away from each other.

Also, I broke out some new shoes that came yesterday in the mail from shopnewbalance.com that I got for 39 dollars including shipping.  They're pretty nice, I'm pleased.  I really like how soft and comfortable the uppers are.  It's the first pair of road flats I've ever worn.   The heal to toe drop ratio is almost identical to the mt101's, very minimal .  Which is still more than the zero I would like, but good enough.  Plus, I get to stay in the Christmas spirit year round with these beauties!

Pretty shoes. Good luck tomorrow. I wish I could be down there to hang out with everyone. I'm very jealous of all of you. Go out and run the best race you have in you and I'm sure you'll surprise even yourself.

Where can I see results?

From Aaron Kennard on Sun, Feb 20, 2011 at 00:37:54 from 76.76.241.116

Jon - Yes indeed - Aaron 1, Cody 0 - and now I'm signing up for Logan tonight, and we're both doing steamboat 50, so we've got a series going now. I'm going to have my hands a bit more full in Logan going up against the CR holder when he has actually trained.

Jun - you should sign up for logan too before it fills up! We could get a big FRB show down going up there.

Aaron- yeah, Cody probably has the advantage at Logan Peak. But you could certainly pull off the surprise. And if you don't, it will all come down to RRR... so do we give you home field on that one?
