Ran with the BBK's this morning.  We did 3--5k intervals. The first one was a warmup, second one was at a 7+ pace and the third one was a 6:05 pace.  Then finished with a 1 mile cool down. Oh did I mention my cool down was definitely cool! I complain I know, just give us a bit of good weather already!

Was there snow in SJ? There was quite a bit at my house and I worried about my form being off and irritating my hamstring more so I decided I'll head to the gym and run on the dreadmill. Nice pace!

Did you register in time for Ogden?

Nice Run Honey

Did Scott keep up with you on that last 5k? Is that why he fell? See, I worry about him and overdoing it!!!

Great job today, and it was not that cold today really!!! The snow makes it feel warmer. I was sweating and was thinking about stripping down to shorts and a tank top it was so HOT. Kidding, it was cold.

PM me your address for AZ so I can google it when you get a chance.

Nice mileage this week Walter James!

From Michelle N. on Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 15:58:00

Were you asking me that Paul or Walter? If me, YES, I registered the last day of January. I can't believe it is sold out!

From Walter on Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 21:17:47

Michelle, sorry it took so long. Im a working man now so 10-11 hours after my posted blog is a long time to respond back to you. Yes there was snow on the road and it was slick as crap!

Paul, I didnt register yet, so I put myself on the waiting list. Im sure they'll let me in for being so nice! Youd think a top 10 would have some pull! not so!

Misty thanks, where did you go? Oh there you are you cheeky monkey!

Teena Marie, Im a freak now! Im back baby! Im pouring it on pretty hard. My legs are lead twigs!

Man that BBK group sounds so fun! I wish I lived closer to you guys!

I'll try to send some good weather your way - we've had some beautiful days over here!

From Walter on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 19:34:36

Lucia, it is fun. They do however need more male runners. I need to work on that!

Thanks for reversing the polarity of the earths spin for me on getting warmer weather. My wife wanted to know why you called me a perv. haha I have to go explain it! See ya
