Holy Crap, Leslie.  I think I would have been looking for someone to shoot me, not walk back out.   Good thing it's only 16 easy (?)  today.  And no one to sing country at you on top of it.    When you survive this, your 50 miler will feel easy.

Easy 9 today, I ran to town and a little loop in town on a gorgeous run morning here. The dirt roads had dried enough that the mud didn't stick but still soft enough for a low impact ride. I didn't see a human for the first 8 miles, lots of cows on cornstalk pasture, a few with new babies as calving season is just starting here. I kinda try and sneak by as the mommas get real protective sometimes and with just a temporary single wire fence between I don't care to rile them up. Looks like more rain and snow on the way for tommorow, winter is not ready to give up yet.

 

Leslie thats some tough running, hope today's is going better for you.

The hotel in PS was the old Wyndom and is now called the Renasanse (sp) . Much better than last yr, last yr staff was pretty hoity toidy and treated us farmers like dirt (get it?). Anyway much friendlier place this yr, we could hook up our laptops to power at every seat and free wyfi so we could get markets etc.

 

Arla looking good coming into the home stretch!!

 

Carol I finally got to read your race report, great job racing and super that you had your blood sugar dialed in, should be helpful for races on down the line.

 

Joe good job on all that crosstraining, I'd be puking doing those boxing workouts no doubt...

 

Hiya to Kevin, Ev, Cindy, Jewels and anyone else out there.

 

I have been working in the shop getting stuff ready to go. I still have a couple of fingers and my thumb swollen and sore, but improving. It's kinda annoying when wrenching equipment as I keep bumping them but pretty lucky I didn't  really mess something up as I need a healthy bod to get the crop in.

Have  great week!
