Still waiting Wednesday - 8th June

<p>Hi all, and again, I have been lax at posting, but as I went for an early morning run today I thought I would get in while I can. I'm presently over in England, awaiting the arrival of Maisie Moo!, my soon to enter the world first grand-child. She was due yesterday, but no signs yet. I'm staying with friends in the High Peak area of Derbyshire, where I used to live in the 90's - when I was running long and hard. They live along the canal where I used to spend a lot of time training, and this morning, myself and Tracy, my hostess, went out along the canal towpath for a run of around 9Km, in a little over an hour, at a very leisurely conversational pace, with her two dogs running along with us - It brought back fond memories of faster times.......  Seems my daughter is going to help my training by keeping me waiting a little longer, so I may get a few more runs in along this beautiful area of the country.</p>

<p>Happy running to everyone...</p>

<p>That sounds like a nice run, Liam! I hope all goes well with your first grandchild! Those first ones tend to always be a bit late . . . well, except mine. he was 3 wks early. and he still likes to be everywhere early.</p>

<p>today is my friday and then I'm off work until the 27th. I've never had such a long vacation before. Knowing me though, I'll be chomping at the bit to get back. But I'll thoroughly enjoy my time in MN. I haven't been back for around 5-6 yrs now. And as a surprise, my cousin who lives in AZ, put his 2 kids on a plane a few days ago to MN to stay with their grandma ( my aunt ) and that is where we'll also be staying while we are in MN, so my son will have two cousins to play with while we are there. They are 8 and 9 and my son is 11. He's only met them once and it was when he was only 5 yrs old, so barely remembers and they don't remember him at all. It'll be a nice time.</p>

<p>Will get in a run today. We should hit mid 70's and I guess I better get acclimated to running in heat. probably shouldn't have waited until 10 days prior to a marathon to do that, but when you live in Oregon where summer didn't arrive until just a few days ago, what'r gonna do eh? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope Erika is enjoying the heat and sun (and smoke?) in Scottsdale!  </p>

<p>Hvae a good day everyone!</p>

<p>Thanks Johnny! I'll probably give you a call post marathon and let you know how I did, since you aren't a bookfacer. <span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span><br>
