Late AM run on the treadmill. Threw in 5-6 striders just to break up the monotony.  Man I'll be happy to get January out of the way. Looks like the next 2 days are going to be pretty bitter cold around these parts. But from the latest report it does look like things will be pretty nice down in St. George.  Those sunny 50's are looking pretty toasty right about now.

Tom, the jig is up. Look at Bethany's blog, she has the answer. Funny thing, I have used the Gwen thing a dozen times and you were the first to ask. Either everyone else got it or not.

I am with you on the weather. I wish we were goint to St. George. Have fun and a great race.

Stay Cool, B of BS Rools out

Brent that's funny, I think I'm just really dense sometimes (Kim can back me up on that I'm sure). What proves the point is that in my curiosity I did a google search on "GWEN running doubt" and all I got were a bunch of links to Gwen Stefani stuff!!! Gee maybe that should have given me a clue perhaps? I'm not all that up on today's pop music but I actually did know that Gwen Stefani was the No Doubt chick.

Dang now I've got that annoying song of hers in my head now... the one with all the "Woo hoo....Yee hooo..." in it. Maybe I'll be thinking about that all week and during the race.
