 Week off from work here, so I was able to run at my leisure today. Except my "leisure" included lawn mowing and a lot of yard work I had to catch up on. But a mid-day break for a run was pleasant, and its warm but not too warm. One of my usual routes, uphill through Manette and down 18th Ave to Wheaton Way, then back along Shore Drive.

I'm headed to Zacatecas, Mexico later in the week, so hopefully I can use some of Paul's tips for running while on vacation/work trips to maintain some miles.

Dave!

Hey buddy. Sounds like a cool trip, man. re: AK, i'll be purchasing tickets within the next couple of days. Need to double-check a couple of things, but it all seems to be coming together. I will hopefully be running with a fastrunningblogger one of these days too. Who knew this thing would be this handy?...

Dave, it's official, we've bought tickets for SEA
