(Ooops...I almost forget to get this posted...I'm a slacker...)

We have a mid-week capital-R R-A-C-E-R this week as Kevin toes the start line tomorrow. From his upcoming races post: "...these are the streets I run every day at lunch, sometimes twice a day - so defending the home turf here, to be king of the corporate sloths. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to win this thing...".

Sorry...didn't mean to leave you off the calendar. What are your running -- the 3.5mi Challenge in your signature? Good luck & fleet feet.

Yes, that's what I ran. I didn't mean to imply you'd excluded me as I'd never posted this race in the calendar.

Race did not go as well as I'd hoped, but I realistically ran as fast as I could have on that day. First race this year that I have not been happy with, I guess they can't all be great.
