Just did my long run this weekend so I was hurting! I've been excited to just get the distance in lately. My pace has been so slow I knew I had to mix in a race or two to keep from getting the "marathon shuffle".

I showed up at the race pretty late since it was so early..It was 38 degrees this morning! Nuts! I made it up to the starting line just moments before the race started and had time to talk to my neighbors and their kids running the race.

I wanted to pace at 5:45 for the 6 miles and started out a bit fast which is usual for me. I saw Scott and said Hi for a minute and then just enjoyed the first downhill bit. It was hard to run a pace when I have been just jogging lately but at least the tendon wasn't bothering me. I fell in behind the first two guys and pretty much finished on the pace I wanted. Great workout!

Smokin' as usual! Great work, you are just an amazing runner who pulls off great races time and time again.

Nice job Steve.

We still on for the Peruvian? I don't know why I'm encouraging you since it just eliminates my chance of winning! But it would be great to catch up.

Ann's offer to watch your girls while we race still stands.

Rob, I'm planning on Alta! My girls are excited to hang out up there. Just a bit nervous as always about that course, but what the heck, we are only young once right?

Also, so far this summer we are even. One for one I believe
