Tom and I had to get our long run of the week in today because we won't be able to this weekend. We went out in the rain. It's hard to know how to dress for the rain. I don't like getting all hot and muggy under waterproof gear, but I also don't like to be drenched. It worked out fine though. The rain never really poured down on us so it was just a pleasant drizzle the whole way. We went down through the river bottoms and past the Hara Krishna, (sp?), temple, to the ball park, (where I was VERY grateful for open restrooms!), then back to the river bottoms. At mile 8 Tom was going to take off and get his last 12 miles at a faster pace. I ran his first 1/2 mile with him at about 7:50. That was enough of that for me and I slowed back down. I had to add BS Rools Road and some zig zags through the neighborhood to take it up to 12 miles for the day. AND NOW I AM MUCHO HUNGARIO! I WANT TO EAT, EAT, EAT! Before I sign off I want to thank all of you who serve or have served our country. Also to all of you who have someone you love serving or have lost someone as they were serving. A big thanks to our nephews Ben Stilson and Matt Oliver who are currently away from their sweet little families! We pray for your safe return!
