AM relaxed 3-mile run with Kim. Another pretty nice morning with very little wind. Did a few striders during the last mile to wake the legs up a bit. Actually my legs are feeling really good today. They feel pretty juiced right now and are asking why we did a nice 3 mile warmup and then stopped?! Ready for 10 more! Hopefully we can save all that pent up energy for Saturday. I haven't yet gotten my pre-race/taper anxieties and antziness yet but by the end of the day and tomorrow that might be another story. Apologies in advance Kim if I start acting doofy later :)

Don't worry Tom, I'm use to your running doofiness! Maybe I'm even catching some of it myself! Looking forward to a great race for both of us!

Good luck at Striders, go and have some fun!

Don't worry, the anxiety will come but it will also be gone once you hear the horn go off to start the race!

Tom, doofy is ok, fits right in with beached whales and ducky paddlers. Go get em at striders.

Stay Kool, without goofy, B of BS Rools out
