<p>Happy Monday! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hmm.. yeah.  SRD.  T minus 6 days and counting.  A front that's coming through is pushing highs into the 70s. Looks like it breaks next Monday.  Great another year of unseasonably warm weather for marathon weekend!  Perhaps I should be doing Grand Rapids on Oct 16th after all...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone hear how BBS's race went?</p>

<p>Got me...started the thread as I was creating one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 easy miles on tap for me today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would take 70s in a heartbeat after the 40s/rainy/windy crap we've had for the past 3 days. I tend to like a little warmer anyway.  Nothing quite compares to the feeling of completing a long run in chilly temps then losing all the feeling in your fingers as the body struggles to warm the core back up. <span><img alt="razz.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/razz.gif"> I love the runs on those days, hate the 15 minutes of hell that follow.</span></p>

<p>The warm weather we have had is leaving at the end of the week and we will see the fall weather hit.  I do like the weather we are having though. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got in 5 miles this morning and even though the first mile was slow, the rest of the run was good. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the rest and running and such.</p>

<p> Not good. ot good at all.  I didn't make it to the start in time.  We did leave the hotel room later than I wanted (this is to be expected w/ DW,DS, &DD), but I figured we still had enough time.  Website said the race start was at 'Signal Mountain Middle Schol', so we enter that into the GPS, about 20 mins later (20 mins from race start) we get there and it is obviously not the right place.  So we back tracked and used the directions on the Website... and couldn't find our way past a certain road... then it was 8:00... so we made a very quiet ride back to the motel room where I climbed into bed and sulked for about an hour.  Very, Very depressing/embarrassing. I did get a 4 mile trail run on Friday that basically went straight up Lookout Mountain that almost killed me, but thats the only running I did on our vacation we planned around a race that I DNS.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got in an OK 6 today in 50:21</p>

Ooh. That sucks. I got stuck in Beltway traffic due to an accident last December that made me miss a 10k race. But that was just a local club race, and those are a dime a dozen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In my experience for destination goal races, one should always case the race morning's itinerary beforehand. I'm kind of obsessive with my preparation, though. DW's learned to put up with it. Even then things still can go wrong. My advice, find another race quickly and put that fitness and anger to good use. <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"></span></p>

<p>Didn't do the 6 at lunch since I got out of an evening commitment at work. I'm free to run at home which is what I will do.</p>

<p>DOH!!!  I missed a start like that.  Elyria OH doesn't believe in street signs so it's impossible to find anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day here.  Usual "mom was gone over the weekend" stuff to get caught up on.  Feeling pretty good today so expect to be back in the fishbowl tomorrow.  Obviously I didn't race hard enough yesterday!</p>
