AM: Mostly solo run on this rainy morning. Kim came down with a cold/flu so she wisely stayed in bed this morning. Part way into the run I ran into the Scenic Dr group and ran about 2 miles with them. Had a light rain for 2-3 miles of the run then it stopped. Since it was a "light" rain and there was no wind it wasn't so bad to run in. Ave pace 8:45.

Kim and I have decided to do the Run 4 Kids race Saturday in St. George since we'll be staying there Friday night on our way to So Cal. Kim's doing the 5K and I'm doing the 10K. Should be fun and we look forward to seeing some of the Dixie bloggers there. I don't plan on killing myself at this race since we just raced Saturday and this week is pretty much a full mileage week, I'll treat it like a glorified tempo run.

PM: Ran hill route at work. The weather wasn't my favorite I'm looking forward to the sunny days that are supposed to be on the way soon. Did a 4-5 striders in the middle. Ave pace 8:31

Since I won't be running at noon today, or the rest of the week, I'll probably not see you before you take off. I hope you have a great trip. I hope Kim's feeling better before you go.

Have fun at the Run 4 Kids race. I'm pretty sure Wayne's going down to run that race to finish up the Runner's Series. Larry was talking about maybe joining him, but that's not as certain. Maybe you'll see each other. The weather should be nice I think.

Thanks Paul! I hope things go great for you as well on Saturday. I know you're not planning on killing yourself but I think you'll have surprisingly good race. Looking forward to your race report.

Looking forward to seeing you at Run4kids that will be a fun race. I posted some pictures of you and Kim from Saturdays race on my blog today.

Tom, smart running this week. Hey, make sure Clyde shows you the course and neither of you make any wrong turns.

Sounds fun, St.George, dixie bloggers, a blast.
