3 miles easy in Milwaukee before the flight.

An hour of lifting weights at the gym followed by a mile swim.  Nice night and good to not be running for a week!

Hey Steve, got your message. Congrats on the 2:42 on no marathon training.I'm actually ahead of where I was last year at this time, but it looks like you've improved even more. I plan to do the SLTC 15k a week from this Saturday, then the Leopards 5k. I'll either do the Salt Lake Half or the Striders Half and then the Ogden Marathon where, of course, I finished second to you last year. You are looking hard to beat, but I'm putting a lot of thought into my training and maybe I can be within shouting distance of you once or twice!

Sounds like you're serious this year. Dang, I was hoping to relax a little..Actually I think masters competition everywhere is getting tougher. I havn't won a masters in the last three races I've done.

My kids love the animals too!

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Thing is, every year there's a new crop of guys turning 40. I'm starting to think I'll need another "nail gun accident" in order to beat you. :)

I should be..The race was paying my way this year so I havn't checked on anything. Boy are they going to be dissapointed! :)
