Hey Paul--can you add this one for me?
Paul, I love the links to the race report threads! Thanks!
I'm going to put myself back out there and say I'm on track for the first race of the season here, a 5k on May 5.
you can scratch my pear blossom race in mid april
and I thought I added this but I guess not.

Tammy - so that's the one we've been wondering about.
Good luck. Paul - .I wish they had gratis transfers like the Mercer Island Half so I could make a deal with Mariposai, . . . unless her foot’s gotten well enough for her to be there on her own. As a 100-Marathon Club reunion with lots of inspiration, e.g. 80-yo Roger MacMillan comin’ down from Canada and mega-Bob Dolphin co-RD’ing with wife Lenore (both 87) to name just a few, it’s gunna be so much fun, maybe the posie’ll be able to come over for the festivities anyway, or maybe walk it with me, . . . as she already has with me for portions of past years’ reunion runs in Bellingham, Seattle, etc. . <<<(Ihope/Ihope)>>> 3/2 tetsujin - Yakima River Canyon Marathon (wooden geta sandals)

Had a pretty good 5k on a much tougher course this time in El Paso but forgot to add it to your calendar. Next up is the first time I have finally admitted I'm getting older and entering the Senior Olympics! So...
04/7 Opie - County Senior Olympics track meet (the first of my life) 800m & 1500m, Las Cruces, NM
Thanks.
This weekend's HM can be scratched. My 50K on 5/5 will likely turn into a 30K, but I'll let you know about that when I know more.
Congrats on your Boston finish!
Can you add me to the list?
[Despite its name, the Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon is NOT a "trail" marathon. It is run on a flat, paved bike path called the Lake Wobegon Trail; Garrison Keillor has apparently ridden his bike on this path. By contrast, the Afton Trail Run IS, in fact, a trail race.]

Next up:
I only expect to break 2 hours but hope for much more! Sounds like every other half of mine, right?
Please also add a free race courtesy of one of my sponsors, Honey Stinger.
I'm a lucky guy-another free race entry and this time local so literally free because no associated costs!
Thanks and have a great OKC Half Marathon!
Paul, would you please change my 50K to a 30K . I made it official with the RD.
and I registered for this one:
7/28 TammyinGP - SOB15K, Ashland, OR

I still remember, "Ashland crunchy granolas." Is that how Barb phrased it?
ha ha. yeah, I think that is what she called them!
