Meet up with Smooth, Leslie, Rad, Slick and Maynard for a long run. Last long run before Boston. I wore my new shoes and they started to give me issues near the end. I think it is because I had a pedicure on Monday and all my calluses were removed. I hope they build back up in time! (At least my toes look really cute :) )

I love running with Smooth, I think we have a similar pace but she always kicks my booty at the end! One day I will beat you Smooth!!!! She ran 13.1 and I was totally done a 13.

After the run we drank chocolate milk (Thanks Rad!!!!!) and did yoga, Slick yelled and Smooth for doing something new so close to Boston, He is probably right!

The run was up hill and into the wind for the first six and then down hill into the wind for the last six. Really I think it was a cross wind but it felt like and head wind the whole way. Maybe I am just a baby!

Looks like a FANTASTIC run!!!! I can only imagine the fun you all had.

Very nice!

Kathie ~ I LOVE running with you! You slowed down for me and I was just plain evil at the end! :) THANKS for being my pack horse today! Can't wait to run with you at Boston! We're gonna have so much fun!

Hey Kathie, I think your ready for Boston or a great long stint with the circus. How do you twist yourself up in knots like that. Maybe you'll have to teach me some of that Zin Master relaxation stuff. It was a fun morning run with the gang and a pleasure to meet you. Take you last week of taper to heart and you Boston is going to be a ball, not to mention a PR. Remember to start slow at Boston and don't let it go till around mile 14. Hold your pace over the Killer chain and Heart Break Hill. When you crest Heartbreak look deep in your soul, take stock of what you've got left in the tank.....and if you've got it, go for it!

Sounds like a great run. Lora keeps asking me where you are and I tell her that you found cooler friends and won't even invite me to go on your group runs.

From Rhett on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 18:05:17 from 74.32.219.227

Looks great Kathie. See you next Satruday.

Andy - You know you are always invited to the party!!!! You are what makes our group cool!

Tom - you are not the first one to say I belong in a Circus!

Teena - It would have been more fun with you! Obey Tom and REST!!!!!

Rhett - I can't wait!!!!!

Sounds like a great run! Sounds like the party will be in your corral..I might just forget about my origianl BQ goal and run it with Smooth-N-the-Gang!

Makes me want some chocolate milk.

From Maynard on Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 00:40:44 from 71.213.42.198

I don't know--maybe it was just me, but despite the downhill nature of the return trip, it felt more uphill than the actual uphill. I was totally done at 12.

From DonGardinero on Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 15:43:34 from 75.162.190.158

Sounds like another fun run I couldn't attend. Oh well, some day I'll be able to make it down there

From DonGardinero on Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 15:47:05 from 75.162.190.158

Uh oh, what did Smoothie do to get yelled at? lol

From Tom Slick on Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 15:57:18 from 172.190.114.76

Hey Kathie....its now down to one week and a day.....and you'll be in the middle of the greatest show on earth! Good luck to you, run happy!
