<p>Morning <strong>Hawk, RA, zrun, & Kevin</strong>  its been kinda slim pickins around here.  Maybe everyone's away for the holiday</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I believe tha yesterday was basically a complete waste of existance for me.  I did nothing.  All day.  I was going to see if DS wanted to go for a little jog this morning before it gets hot, but DW said she had a rough night last night w/ DD, so shes gonna sleep in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big race tonight.  Sposed to be over 2,000 runners there, which is really big for a 5K here.  Its a chip race though.  Too bad the high is going to be 98*.  By 7pm, it'll will probably be a bone chilling 96*...  I think my game plan tonight will be view it as a 2 mile race, Maybe try to hit 6:30 for one and 2, then just see how I feel for the reamainder.  If nothing else, I shouldn't be isolated at the end of the race with that many runners... surely there'll be someone to help push me at the end.  This is not an 'a' race, and I havn't exactly trained for it, so I'm not expecting <em>Fireworks</em> ( its called the Firecracker 5K ).  Did I mention Budweiser of Memphis is a supporting sponser?</p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - hope you survive the 5k.  A cold one (or 2) afterwards sounds like a plan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I decided to take the day off.  May hit the beach or sit by the pool.</p>

<p>Enjoy the rest <strong>RA,</strong> and good luck tonight, <strong>BBS</strong>!  </p>

<p>Got to the prairie path at 5:30am this morning and did 18 miles totally on the path to maximize shade.    Still felt gross out there, maybe 69-70 at the start and humid.   The first couple of miles I was shaking off the cobwebs both figuratively and literally.   A little bit quicker than the last few weeks, things felt easy and I didn't hold back as much at the beginning... paid for it a little at the end but not too bad.  Rest day tomorrow.</p>

<p>Yeah it sure is quiet around here this weekend. On top of that my weekend has been a dud so far from the running standpoint and now I'm 0 for 3 so far in July. The schedule simply didn't allow it while I was in upstate NY. Then we flew home today...6am flight, after getting back to the hotel from the reception and into bed around midnight, then tossing and turning, sleeping an hour, maybe. Suffice to say I'm completely wiped out today.</p>

<p>I WILL get back on the wagon tomorrow. 15 miles, dammit. That is, after a good night's sleep.</p>

<p>Good luck this evening BBS. Nice run in the dawn while I was scrambling to the airport.</p>
