Hey everyone!

Busy day today, up early to get to the Shamrock 8k, wife and oldest ran that one, then later our youngest ran the Leprechaun Dash.  Had a lot of fun.

Did 2.5 miles w/ strides after we got back home, 7:06/mile average pace.  Legs are strong and ready for tomorrow.

Some really good races today, it sounds like.  Lots of different distances.  Congratulations Coralie on a 3 min. PR.  Mitch, I wish I could get that fast.  Zelanie - loved your RR.  Your consistency is amazing.  Scotty - I'll check out your RR when I'm done here.

Kristin - glad the leg is better, but best not to push it.

Damaris - good luck on the marathon tomorrow.  Have fun.

Bin - your trail looks lovely.  I'd be on that one all the time, if I had something like that near me.

D2 - good luck tomorrow.

Awood - when is the wedding?

AFM - SRD, though I would have liked to run.  We hiked a 3 mile loop around a lake on the Blue Ridge Pkwy.  Because of all the travelling, I've been really inconsistent in my running for the past month.  The only good part of going home will be getting a chance to build my miles again.  I just heard about a 5 mile race in 2 weeks.  I should be ready to do that, though I won't be fast.  My sfx is pretty much healed, and I'm sure I can handle the distance.  My pace is likely to be all over the place though, since my runs have been mostly trail runs, which don't exactly encourage an even pace.  I've only ever done two races, and they were more than a year ago before I got injured.  They were 5ks and my strategy was just get out and run.  I was pushing the whole way, puffing and panting, but had a lot of fun.  5 miles is still short, so I'll probably push it too hard, but hopefully I'll get a feeling for a slightly longer distance.

Dave - Best of luck for tomorrow and have an awesome time!!

Vance, come to Singapore. We have lots of green here..

Tori, nice ride.. Are you going to pimp it?

Kristin, I am sure you already knew.. Rest when you are hurt.. Always works..

Awood, Seen the lock.. loved it..

Gustav, no snake.. fortunately.. Was reading some other bike forum and there's sighting of cobra an python.

Mitch, you will get the sub 23 next time.. 23+ is already dizzy speed for me..

Scotty, no tiger.. maybe a few thai-ger? :S The trail goes for 10km+ but I had to turn back at 4.5km due to a pool of water that I am unwilling to run thru..

Coralie, congrats on the PR.. 3min PR for 5K is a big thing..

Mel, yes, I think those are wild morning glory.. you know I am a shoes whore.. haa.. What an awesome race you have ran!

Dave, go kill that HM..

Ginny, Enjoy the RD.. I didn't knew abt this trail until recently.. You nvr know what you can find near your place..

Jack, I would go further.. Just need to be mentally prepared to get my shoes wet.. haa..

Jack- Sounds like we would have been in about the same place if your course had been my race today!

The thread is still alive and it's still Saturday down here in CA.  How's everybody?  I'm exhausted.  This should go well.
