Man am I bumbed about NOT getting my race in. I went through such a scheduling headache getting it in, and my husband is already on edge about running, I just feel like I'm going to use one of my running passes tomorrow. Call all my male fast friends, who's wifes I thought trusted me, all busy. Will head out the door for a very fast self paced run. Shouldn't be a problem, Dave does it every other day, I can do it once.

Let me see if I've been paying enough attention. Bugs had a race scheduled today, but found out too late that this caused a problem for a karate promotion for one of her kids (he (she?) was missing a tournament which was needed as a pre-req for the belt test). Then it turned out the dang race was on a lumpy route, which I would avoid as well -- too much risk with the upcoming marathon. So she jogged it and is trying to set up another 5K this weekend, either a fast training run with a pacer or another race, to get in the workout which was originally planned. Am I getting that right?

Way to go, Bugs. You got a really good tempo session in with that run (you're fast!)

Wow, is it early. Nice cool morning, no rain as of yet. I'm off.

Cash, I got my shirt from the morning race. Lou, Thanks..the guy I ran with was fast. I was breathing so hard, and not even a workout for him. He runs about 25 mpw. Dave, these marathons are on Mother's Day and Father's Day weekends. Any precious metals will be from crossing the finishing line.

Awesome Bugs! It's great when someone can pace you- push you along like that. Hope Murphy, Shan, and Pam are enjoying their races right now. I have friends who are running Frederick today. What a great run I just had... Sunday tends to be a rest day for me... went out last night, had some beer with people in my running group, they mentioned they were meeting up this morning for a run. I debated, but actually got up and went over to where we meet but they were already gone- I was late- like 2 or 3 minutes- So, it's raining and I'm sitting in my car... whining to myself about not wanting to run in the rain again... blah, blah, blah.... but I made myself get out of the car and go... actually made a deal with myself that if I still didn't want to be running when I was one mile in, I would turn around, and you know what happened.... ended up with 5 miles and it was fun, splashing in the puddles, We watched Slumdog Millionare last night and loved it... I can see why it's won so many awards. Dave, I saw you write on FB that you were going to watch it.. What did you think?

It is a gorgeous day today, perfect weather no wind, perfect day for racing or fishing, but I'm glad I arranged my running so DH could fish. I'm loosing my patience for these little small town races. Seems half of them either have a stupid course, or a volunteer mis-directs the runners. There are better bigger races in the cities and I think they will be my new focus post marathon.
