Wow Rhett. That's pretty fast. Yep, two weeks to go. I'm excited.

Great run Rhett 9.2 on the treadmill I'll have to try that sometime! Just kidding I could do that for maybe 30 seconds. Come to think of it I did try 10.0 a couple of times for 30 seconds and that is killer!

I think this next week is going to be my hardest before painters. But I am looking forward to it in a weird way. I want to see how far I can push this old body.

Rhett, you are so ready for Painter's. That's an awesome treadmill half marathon you ran today.

The visual of you "churning" those speedy legs at 9.2 made me gasp for air and about fall off my chair.

Only 2 weeks till Painter's? Yikes!!!
