Feeling the growl again
I still don't have any idea. I probably won't know until the weekend arrives.
No problem.

Probably the final pre-race update. I've sent a final instructions email to everyone who is in or on the fence. If anyone else wants to opt in, let me know and I'll send you the info. Looks like we have 9-12 runners, which would make this on par with or the biggest field to date.
Now, who wouldn't want to come home with one of those bad boys.
Well, I've decided you people aren't getting a keg.
My wife came up with a better idea. I have a big box of growlers (thank C-R and WhoDat) and I'm going to get a nice variety of beers from a couple local breweries instead. Wish I had time to hit a couple more breweries but we had a virus go through the family this week so I'm behind on preparations.

Run, and drink, well my friends. Pictures are welcome.
Not at it at all.
I'm sure we can capture some incriminating evidence.
Growlers filled:
Sun King Big H Hefeweizen
Sun King Lavergne
Sun King Wee Mac
Flat 12 Walkabout Ale
Flat 12 Indy 11
Flat 12 forget name but it's a Scottish ale

She's a keeper! Good selection you picked up. Have fun and stay hydrated!
Perhaps a 16-miler wasn't the best beer mile warmup...
That's why I stopped at 10
Plus I'm lazy

12 in the rain for me. Ugh.
Rule number one of a gunfight, bring a gun. Rule number two of a gunfight, bring friends with guns.
That's what you get for waking up so early.
Well, we're down to 8 racers after a couple last-minute cancellations today (hacker2000, one of my college buddies). Still second-largest field ever I think.
Just a dude.
So, I take it you aren't tapering for this race...

Getting back in shape... Just need it to be a skinnier shape...

On track for about 80 miles this week...nope, can't let a stunt get in the way of real training. I figured I was much more likely to get the long run in today than do it the day after beer mile shenanigans!

So.... hope it went well.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Good stuff for spaniel. Me, not so much. DO NOT USE FAT TIRE. OMG the foam was all consuming. 11:40 for a personal worst. But I had a great time with some old and new friends.
