Hello everybody!  I've been trying to keep up in here, I have just had no time to post.

Tet--you crack me up...as do many others on here.  You guys really help me get through some days.  Thanks.

We had our Section Meet, today...of course I couldn't be there...but the boys took 1st and are heading to State.  Unfortunately, the girls took 8th and no individuals qualified for state, so their season is done...I guess I should have barked a little louder.  Next year, I really want to work with the girls more.

As far as my running goes...I go out very cautiously...really being aware of how my hip is doing...there's still some pain...but I think it will be okay.  Monday, I started the next phase of this program.  The speed work is done, now it's strength.  So Monday was a 2 mile easy warm up then 1 mile repeats at 6:30 with 1/4 mile recovery between each, followed by an easy 2 mile cool down.  Tuesday was a rest day.  Yesterday was a tempo workout--2 mile warmup--8 miles between 6:40 and 6:35--2 mile cool down.  Then, today, was an easy 7 miler.  So that's about it for running.

Oh--enke--yeah, I agree with whoever said it's "Door #3's" loss.  You know...after my wife dumped me, I tried for a couple years to find somebody else...then, one day, I decided to just forget it.  I was going to just raise my 3 kids and not worry about it.  Within a week, I met Debbie...my DW.  Anyway...it worked out okay for me...and you've got a whole more going for you than I ever did, so I'm sure it will work out for you, too.

Okay--I gotta get to sleep.  4:45 comes really early.
