Damaris, I know you won't like this topic, but please we need some warmth up here in Ohio.

Ginny - I hear ya!!!  Unfortunately I was reading something online last night that was predicting a cold summer....boooo.  Hope that is wrong.

Didn't get home in time for my class so I ran, and had such a great run...was one of those you just wanted to keep running

Anybody racing this week-end?

Carol

6.2 for me

So sorry you all will be having a colder than normal summer!

Off to the puppy pool

Hi ladies-

I'm still here!! It's been so hectic that I haven't had time to post, but I've been reading everyone's posts. Work has been busy and I was out for meetings three days this week. Two of the boys are playing baseball, which means we have practice or game almost every night. The one redeeming factor is that DS2 is playing up a level this year, and it's starting to look like real baseball!

As Camille mentioned, I did run the Tar Heel 10-Miler last weekend (as did Amy) in Chapel Hill. It was a fun overnight - four of us went down the night before. We stayed within walking distance of the race, which was great. It was good racing weather - the race is early enough in the day that it hadn't really warmed up yet. And it's a really pretty course - it goes through the UNC Chapel Hill campus and through neighborhoods and town. Unfortunately, I had a horrible race. I could tell a mile in that it wasn't going to be my day. I managed to hang onto a respectable pace through 8 miles, but then went off the rails. It wound up being my slowest time for this race by 2 1/2 minutes. Oh well, some days are like that!

Today I ran 7 miles with my Saturday RB and felt pretty good. I also committed to running a marathon in the fall. Yikes! What have I gotten myself into!

Tessa - nice job in last weekend's 50K and on the RR.

Karen - I'm looking forward to going back and reading your Boston RR. I can sympathize with your dental issues. I had a temporary crown put on last week, and a filling under one of my older crowns. It was not a lot of fun.

Ginny - I hope it warms up for you. It was beautiful here today, but earlier in the week it was SO cold at DS3's baseball game!

Carol - yay for the good run.

Waves to everyone else - I'm off to collapse. Have a great weekend-

Was a long couple of days... but DD's Forensics team won first place for Class B in Michigan for a 3rd year in a row.  Out of the 38 9th-12th grade students who went to States, 36 made it to semi's with 20 placing in top 6 so Finals.  So proud of kids who had to present 3 times on Friday and 3 times on Saturday.. long time to be on your game.

My superhero finished 4th overall for her Informative category.

No running for me unless you count the back and forth that I did repeatedly across the Western Michigan University campus for the last 2 days.  I judged 5 times on Friday which involved leaving the judge area on one side of campus to go to one of the buildings where events were to judge, return to tabs (judge area) then go back to a different building, returning again after judging.  Some events involve picking up other materials (quote, current event questions, or broadcast newscasts) which, of course, were in different buildings.  On Saturday I judged 3 events.  I never did get to see DD present.

Wow, Lisa, congrats to DD! Very impressive for a freshman.

I've had a kind of tired weekend. I ran 12 yesterday, then went to run today and had some weird pain on the top of my left foot. I could walk okay, but when I started running I was practically limping. So I ditched the run and ended up with 70 minutes on the bike. Other than that, I napped, read a book, and did just the tiniest amount of cleaning.
