AM: Ran just over 4 miles with Kim, then she got in a couple more solo. Another beautiful May morning, looks like we'll have nice days for the next while. Super! Kim was feeling pretty spry so we did 6 1-min striders scattered throughout the run. Most were in the 7-7:30 pace range but I think the last one was under 7. Ave pace around 9:50.

Noon: Ran the 10K Lakeview loop with Paul. Darin also joined us for about the last couple of miles. I tacked a bit more on to the end solo to end up at 7 miles. Ave pace 7:43.

Can you put an order in for more perfect mornings like today?! That is so much more enjoyable to get out in!

That's good news about your SGM entry! One down one to go!

Have you looked into all of the various charities yet? As I recall not all of them are using auctions for their entries.

Thanks Cal, we are looking at all options including charities. I can't believe what the eBay entries are going for. I saw one that was over a grand!

I'm still a bit wary of the SGM folks. As of today I still don't see my name on the list. I gave them my credit card so they could charge me since they had already credited the original $$ back to the card for both Kim and I. I'll try and be patient and optimistic for both Kim and myself.
