I had this at the start of last winter. My doc called them "non-allergic allergies", or some such thing. The bizarre weather we had brought 'em out. Hopefully things change soon.

So many people I know this year have had weird allergy stuff going on. For a while there, I was seeing my doctor more than anyone else.

Yes what did you get?????

Very cool!!! Ok I'm patiently waiting to hear how the race went today! Hope your enjoying the weekend Bob!!

Hi Pam! Got home about an hour ago, all showered and feeling somewhat human again. I'm cooked like a lobster. It was HOT. But what an incredible race, one of the most unique that I've run. Took lots of pictures, I'll post them along with a report at some point. 17:45, 4th OA, 1st AG.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WTG!! Congrats on the great race. Can't wait to see pictures!

Nice car, Bob! I have a couple friends in Scouts that have Elements. They love them! Also, nice job on the race. Holy cow, 17:45! I'm still dreaming of sub 25

Solid... Got this training week off to a decent start. The weather is cooperating. Woke up to a clear starry sky, cool(er) temps and low(er) humidity. It's nice walking out the door and not having it feel like a ton of bricks hitting you. Todays workout called for 10 miles with 3x2 miles @ marathon pace with a 1/2 mile recovery in between. These are the types of workouts where pre-programming the workout into the Garmin really comes in handy. It tells you when to start and stop each interval, and whether or not you are on pace or not. Takes away the thinking part of running so you can just run instead. Anyway, the marathon paced portions of the workout felt pretty comfortable, as they should. Maybe not quite as effortless as they should be feeling, but there is still 7 weeks of training to go, so hopefully in a few weeks these runs will get to that point. Splits were nice and consistent which means I'm getting dialed in to what this marathon pace should feel like, so come race day, just wind me up, point me in the right direction and go. I ran my favorite 10 mile route, which is an out and back that turns around at a beach. If I time it just right, as I did today, I get greeted with a nice sunrise over the water. Since it was nice and calm today the water was like glass and reflected the sun like a mirror. I think I slowed down slightly here to take it in. As many times as I've done this, I don't think I'll ever tire of it. So it was a great start to the day, and a great start to a new training week. Hope it's just as good for everyone else out there as well!

You make me wish I was out there running that run with you! Of course if I had, I'd be in the hospital recovering from trying to kill myself by running way too fast. Way to start off a new week! Nice job Bob!!
