<p>Wow...noon has passed and no thread?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I never reported on the race yesterday. It was quite the experience. Rain started as I was driving over to the lake, picked up slightly as I warmed up. Then it really got heavy, just in time for the start. At least it wasn't cold...if anything I was quickly regretting my decision to wear a short-sleeve tech tee rather than a singlet as it got weighted down by the rain. And so it went...we splashed our way out 6k, then back to where we started. The pack strung out and positions, at least among the top 10, didn't change after about 2 miles. At the turnaround I counted myself as being 9th, but the official results say I was 8th...did somebody DNF? 3rd among the master's men.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought it was a very good result, even though my time was a full minute slower than last year on a dry trail. Best compliment I got all day was from one of my friends who was volunteering, who said racing in these conditions was totally bad-ass. <span><img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>A volunteer was snapping pictures near the finish. I'll have to post the one of me in all my muddy glory if they ever share it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hoping everyone's enjoying their runs, rests and whatever else.</p>

<p>Feel better <strong>4bm</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was sick over the weekend (sinuses & chest) so I took the weekend off from running. 1 hour run today with hills.</p>

<p>Rest day too.  I'd thought about going to the work gym for a 5'er but have a stinking headache.  DD turned 2 today and gets to spend it at home sick.   Now DW and I are getting the same thing.  Boo hiss!  Getting the miles in this week will be very tough.  My first race of the season is a hilly HM on March 20th and I'm not ready.  I ran the same race last year and know what to expect - a suffer fest.  Oh boy.</p>
<p>   </p>
<p><strong>Jill</strong> - glad you're feeling better</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - crap!</p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - nice job on the XC.</p>

<p>RA - wow I can't believe she is two already...  I am sure she is really getting to be fun at this age, hope she feels better.  thanks for the knee tips yesterday</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hawk - so raced in the monsoon yesterday... yea that is "hardcore"  Actually I love a good run in the rain during the summer temps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok everyone, keep your germs to yourself, I can't remember the last time I was sick and want to keep it that way. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today will be 3m tonight after work.  I am running in town so I can take the pup with me.  She has been really neglected since my long runs have been with TNT and during the week I have been using the TM.  Time to get her out for some pup miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In case anyone would like to support me with my Team in Training race on June 5th, San Diego, I have a website for donations.  All proceeds will go to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Don't feel obligated but if you want to donate, her is the address:  <a href="http://pages.teamintraining.org/lv/rnr11/klicata" target="_blank">http://pages.teamintraining.org/lv/rnr11/klicata</a><span style="display:none;"> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>It has been a privilage for me to be a part of this event & I look forward to updating everyone on my progress.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
