You did just fine, Jerry! 

Good luck with the miles later, Damaris.  Is it still hot there?  Does Miami EVER cool down at some point of the year?

At least you got out the door, Kristin, that's something.

Sorry about the sinuses/throat, Traci.  Hope your legs run as well later as your nose seems to be running now.  Ugg, donut race...it amazes me people can get those things down during a race and then be able to still run!

Congrats on the tempo run, PAD.

Happy 8 miles, Jack.

Mitch, as the beer flow continued, did the packet stuffing slow down?    Good luck with your miles tonite if you get out there. You should, since you've already carbo-loaded last night. 

Congrats on your run, Bin.  Hope the little ones are doing well.

I believe it, Zelanie.  I'm sure everything was already named by the Native Americans.   And then the 'explorers' came along and re-named everything 'officially'....sheesh.

Congrats on your 10K, kj.  1:20 for a 10K is about my speed all the time, lol. So for once I could've kept company with one of the speedier runners here for a change.

Sounds like a nice evening, HsM.  Did Dusty eat hot dogs too?  Wouldn't that be a form of cannibalism for him?

Sorry about the pain behind the knee, obiebyke!  Hope the rolling helps it.

Congrats on your shockingly good run, Lauren!

I may be in your part of Texas in a few weeks - any good races coming up?  I'd enjoy the FE, if it works out timewise.  Heck yeah, Ginny, we have races all year round down here.  Go to this race calender that a friend and I maintain:  www.centexruns.com   Pick the month you want and there will be a list of races for all of that month.  Definitely let me know when you will be here.   Gail and I will take you to the Riverwalk for lunch or dinner, or whatever.   Happy and safe trip!  State parks here are nice to run in - most of them anyway - usually have both paved and off-road trails.  Some of the trails in some of the parks, though, can be QUITE rocky, resulting in a lot more walking than running.   As for cold in the shower area, well, maybe in East and North Texas....but soon as you get down here to South Texas, it warms up pretty quick during the day.  Sorry you did not have a good run, but glad you're feeling better today.

That sounds like a dangerous job you have there, Awood! What the heck do you do that you have to be all around that stuff?

Scotty - I find ways to make things last longer in the steel mills, and then my company makes it.  Mitch would know the type of items I work with probably.  I do the field measuring and suggest materials.  Descale hoods, bucket liners, coiler guides, kerfer blades, baghouse fans, chutes, hoppers, and all that jazz.  Its dirty and there are dangers if you don't pay attention, but you meet some of the best people.  Not sure how the mills will run when people start to retire though.  Not a lot of young folks in the mill.

LOL...the guy last year threw in good stories.  This year it was, "Let's get through this".  At least I got a chair this year.

7 miles today.  Kind of hard running with all the apples, leaves, acorns on the bike path (not too mention the rude bikers).

Not sure that I should wear the K3's for longer runs. Seems kind of hard on the forefoot. Just me?
