Rest Day today.  My legs are feeling good - but it has been 8 days since I took a day off and I know my body needs one after the past 2 days of intense mileage.  Besides, this way I can admire the sunburn on my face from yesterday.

I agree! Take a day off! Hey where is that mint candy you were talking about? I am going to Costco and then watch history being made!

Everyone keeps commenting at work that I must have been outside yesterday. I guess the sunburned face gives it away.

Les - the candy is Frango Mints. You can get them at Macy's.

Yep - your dad bought me a box in Illinois and gave it to me for Christmas. Do you want a small box in your package I am getting ready to send you?
