Legs were a bit stiff after yesterday's hard effort but with such wonderful temperatures I could not hold Teresa back and was forced to run at a quicker-than-recovery pace this morning. It's all good though.

Great job on the running. I need to be more consistent now. I have been terrible. Hey if you want to volunteer for a ragnar relay, like for 30 hrs straight you can get a free entry into one of them. I had a blast helping in washington last weekend
