Yes that is correct. 2 easy miles with Kim this morning. It was nice to sleep in a bit and get some extra sleep. My legs/body are needing a little extra rest and this is supposed to be a reduced mileage week so I figured it was about time to actually get around to having a reduced mileage day. Also running a 5K tomorrow so hopefully I'll be a little fresher than I've been for recent races.

Ave pace 9:28.

Taking my son and nephew to a concert tonight at USANA. Journey/Heart/CheapTrick, hmm.... you think maybe I'm an 80's child or something? Actually my son Tyler is a big fan of 70's and 80's 'classic' rock and loves Journey and Heart so it was actually his idea to go. Should be fun.

I live just down the street from Usana if you guys need a place to stop for a little while, or sit down and eat something before you go in.

From Terry on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:25:24

The good old 80's music should get you ready for a good 5K tomorrow. If I wasn't such a hermit I'd have got tickets and taken Taunia. She likes Journey and Heart.

Welcome to the 2 miler club! We are a proud few!

FABULOUS concert! You are so lucky! I saw Heart in College- they were wonderful! We are going to the Police next week at Usana. The 80's live!

The sad thing is that the third ticket was bought for ME!!! But we ended up having our nephew here for the month of July. What am I suppose to do...have him stay home and watch the kids while I go? Good idea! Why didn't I think of that earlier? I guess I will be OK. A little jealous, but OK.

From Tom on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:36:25

Laurie - thanks so much for the offer! We'll probably be rushing a bit to get there in time but it is good to know you're close by in case we run into any kind of troubles. If you see 2 teenagers and an older guy with wearing an izod polo shirt, levis 501s and vans, that will be us.

Terry you hermit! You should be taking Taunia! Maybe if DefLeppard ever comes to town..... :)

Marion - I suspected you might be an 80's girl since I recollect you crank some Scorpions on the iPod during some of your runs. I fully expect at Hobble Creek you will "Rock it like a HURRICANE!!"

From Tom on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:37:17

Kim when DefLeppard comes to town maybe we can double date with Terry and Taunia.

From Tom on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:38:27

...or we can always hope that Rick Springfield is still playing the county fair circuit.. :-)

From Jody on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 13:21:15

Rest days are needed every once in a while. I am so jealous of your concert! Maybe they will play extra loud and I will be able to hear at my home. We went an saw Journey and Def Leppard a couple of years ago and they were fantastic. Maybe I will wear my Journey T-shirt in honor of your concert!

Kim:

I'm sure Scott would be more than willing to stay with Jansen and the girls if he knew the concert ticket was bought for you!

From Kim on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 16:34:33

Susan,

I am sooo just kidding! I am glad to have Scott go in my place! They will all have a great time and me and the girls have plans of our own! I was just doing the woe is me in a joking way! I am very glad that Scott is here with Tyler, it has made his summer much more enjoyable! Please don't think I feel bad about not going...now if it were Rick Springfield that would be another story!!! : )

From Dale on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 20:05:54

Good idea on the rest mileage.

Now the real question is, do you have your obligatory mullet? Can't really re-live the era of hair-bands without one!

From Brent on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 21:51:46

Tom, tight fitting jeans, double dating, rocking on, 5King, what a kool weekend, without James Dean.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
