Hey gang.  So I'm supposed to run a 10k tomorrow... Any other SG people running the Tuachan Duathlon tomorrow? (not like any SG people are reading this ... ha!) I'm not excited about the race because no one is running it with me and no IPODs allowed on course- what will I do? Ah well.. better go anyway and treat it as a training run.   I signed up for this race in Dec. when I was desperate to find a winter race.  Then it was cancelled for bad weather and postponed until tomorrow.. Anyway...

I've still got a headcold, but not too bad.  Just frustrating 'cause the nose is stuffy, ya know? I'm getting out for an easy/ yet hilly- 4 miler this afternoon.

Update- ended up doing an evening 5.75 w/ Heather instead of the 4 miler I was planning on.  Pretty slow & didn't feel easy.  We were dodging lots of Fri. afternoon after work traffic. Hope the 10k will be OK tomorrow!

You acted like you weren't ready for Painter's and look what you did! You were awesome! I hope the head cold doesn't bother you tomorrow. I will be looking forward to your race report! I am excited to try a 10K in the summer. Good luck! (Oh, and sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!) I just realized what an awful saying that is...yuck...bedbugs!

I'll echo Kim's comment. Treat it as a "training run" and do the same thing you did at Painters! We may not be there to run with you, but you know we'll all be there to read the report!

Good luck tomorrow, you will do just fine. Ruth is running and I think Steve H. is handing out water. Have a great run and just do what you can do and not worry about it:)

Thanks guys! Marcie thanks for letting me know who from the FRB will be there, I'll be looking for them!

Good luck, Christi!! You'll do awesome! And if it's not your best, at least you looked good doin' it!! ;o)

From Jody on Fri, Feb 01, 2008 at 22:12:58

Good Luck tomorrow!! You will do great!! I have no doubt. I have been thinking about the whole ipod thing and I really need to start running once or twice a week with out mine, but I wimp out. Maybe when I have to quit battling the weather.

Hey, you will do great after you empty the sand out of your pants, little sand bagging? Give it a hard run, you will have no running regrets.
