I had a big hamburger at Five Guys and should be stuffed, but after coming home and mowing, and then reading your discussion of fish and marinade, mmmmmmmm

He runs to eat. That's our boy!

For those of you who might frequent the swamp, I'd just like to say how glad I am that we haven't had singlets made up. Dang. Much safer in here.

I'll get them printed if you can come up with a team blister logo. Any way you slice it, it's probably going to look gross.

I promised myself I wouldn't jump on anymore great deals without checking with somebody, anybody, smarter than myself first.

Just ask Crystal

We have gone to washing running clothes every day, so they don't smell. But we both sweat plenty... PS: Bugs, re photo: Looks like he's walking -- 6hrs?

He started with me. He was running, very slowly. The guy's almost a maniac for a 70 year old. Really slowed down the last few years.

Thanks guys!! It's been a really tough year with Kallie and she's only 2. We're at our wits ends and not sure how much longer we can handle the medical bills that keep racking up Been quite a rollercoaster ride with her. Anyway I ran my 5k and am very happy with how it went. I could have ran it faster to make it a "true" tempo however part of me was expecting my ankle to start talking. Felt awesome the whole way. Ankle didn't make a peep and the pace felt "easier" then what I thought it would. I had thoughts that I'd be running more of an 8 minute mile pace. I finished in 24:14 which was good enough for 4th place in the (now get this) 40-49 age group. Yes they moved me up an age group since I'll be 40 before the end of the series . Not bad for a "tempo" run. Anyways I think I'm ready for my marathon on Sunday! WOOOT! MTA: After the race kids and I headed to their school for open house. Yes I didn't even bother to change. I didn't sweat all that much so I didn't really feel the need lol.

Congrats on a great tempo run, and congrats on your pre-birthday Or maybe I should say, happy pre-birthday.

Thanks Perry. I have to admit turning 40 either ins't a big thing to me or it hasn't quite hit me yet.

Yes I didn't even bother to change. I didn't sweat all that much so I didn't really feel the need lol.

Ok you can do a tempo run, and not sweat that much, or stink? By the time I reach tempo pace my clothes are already soaked in sweat. Good luck with your marathon. For those of you that dont wash your clothes before a run, remind me not to do a long run next to you, or at least let me get on the upwind side.
