Tall, those are some smoking fast intervals! What's for dinner?
Tramps, good work, sir! I agree with Holly - if you're passing someone, it doesn't matter what they call you. Way to show up those youngsters!
MikeE, sorry you weren't happy with your time, although most of us would have been thrilled with a sub-20. I guess you're just getting old... Nice picture of your granddaughter scoring the goal yesterday!
12 mile trail run today in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Tired legs - not sure if it was the firewood cutting yesterday, or I'm not quite used to the altitude yet from a week at sea level. Anyway, it was a gorgeous day and the aspen leaves are starting to turn.
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

So much great racing this weekend. I ran the HM of the Yonkers Marathon-"The race the running boom forgot." There was a casual air about the whole thing, which belied the course....It's a hilly one. 1:32:22 (I had wanted to run sub-1:32): My Garmin got screwy so I had to run the last four or so miles the old-fashioned way....trying to catch the person ahead of me. I was pleased but a little surprised when I passed the 12-mile marker....I though I still had 2+ miles to go. Oh well. 39th OA and 5th or 6th master.

Oh, believe me, I do enough feeling sorry for myself that I don't need anybody else's sympathy. But thanks for your concern. And thanks for making me laugh...again!
Nice job, Walt!

So let's review: folks who are disappointed in their races snag 1st place honors (you know who you are). Now Mike turns in his worst 5K ever on a sandy course...at 19:40! I have to start doing worse in my races, so I can improve....or something like that.
I accept the scolding. But Mike was way worse than the rest of us. Spareribs
I am still exhausted from the Reach the Beach Relay. I had a great time! Having Mariposai along helped make this about the most entertaining two days I have ever spent in a van! From what I can tell she probably thought the whole thing was at least okay. But she can tell you first hand. Those wanting details and pictures can see them all at the Rosie Ruiz Fan Club blog. As for me it is time to get some sleep.

No run today, legs and back a little sore. Probably got to much sleep last night, went to bed at 10:00 and got up about 10:00. Cleaned pool, shed, and varnished a chair for DS2, watched Lion's and back to bed to get back to my 3rd shift schedule. Will lift in AM and run in PM about 3-4 miles.
4.1 miles today at a nice easy 8:40 avg pace. Legs feel fine, no soreness or owies, just a little tired. Always makes me wonder if I should've pushed a little harder, but then again, I don't like to suffer so wouldn't have done it anyway. Another beautiful day here.
