76F, S 20 mph.  7:53 AP.  Legs had some pep today for some reason, kind of a mystery since we did Insanity plyometrics last night.

Now for a 2-day taper for my race on Friday night.  Although I'm not sure I should be calling it a race.  Survival contest, maybe.  On the plus side, the high is now only forecasted to be 103 on Friday so might get mid-90s to start.

Sweet! Mid 90s sounds like a great starting temperature! At least it's a night race, so it won't get hotter?

Enjoy the taper.

Is this race on a track? How many people will be in the race? Do you think it will be crowded?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 12:27:13 from 132.3.53.68

Tracy - yea, it'll be wonderful!

IJR - there's a 1-mile loop at a local park, so each lap is a mile. I think last year there were 40-60 participants (guessing less this year), so not too crowded.

Nice 12 miler! I might come do it with you! Wait ... no direct flights from Atlanta to Abilene ... Darn! :)

It's got to be difficult to run hooked up to an IV..... good luck! Thats crazy!

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 10:22:24 from 132.3.53.68

JG - dang! But if there were direct flights I'm sure you would be here.

Rye - the trick is to really tape it on there good.
