Thanks for the elevation profile, Damaris! Hope your cat's feeling better.  I didn't realize household cleaners affected them so much.

Have fun at your cross country race, Kim!

16 miles today without getting lost .  Luckily one of the friends I run with has a much better sense of direction than I do, between us we found our way.  Legs were achy a few miles in but I think we started a bit fast.

My inspiration for today came in a chat with Bill, a blind runner that we came across on our route.  He runs pretty much every Saturday with a couple of sighted runners who serve as guides.  He's run MCM 5 times and was doing 12 miles today.  One of his guides is a retired dentist who's in his late 60s or early 70s and is doing the JFK 50 mile again this year.
