Had our Youth Home recognition dinner at the Governor's Mansion, or to be more precise, the banquet hall/ballroom attached to the back of the mansion, which I had no idea existed. Nice shindig. Pam got a door prize of a gift certificate from Bosco's, which is a restaurant we've been wanting to try, so that works.

The dinner broke up at 8, we went home, I changed and hit the TM at 8:30 for my GA run. Seven miles at just over 9:00 pace, then strides for a mile. Legs really took 6 miles to loosen up, although a little stretching might have helped in that area :) I think to get to my 70-mile goal for the week, I'm gonna have to get up early Friday and do 4 or so on the TM at the AC before work. But we'll see how that works out. Saturday's run has been moved to the River Market, which should be a little more favorable for my 8 miles of planned GMP in the middle of the 17 miles. Also gonna have to start early so we have time to get out of town and head for Fayetteville for our Valentine's weekend date.
