Hello Party People
 
I never got a run in yesterday, so why not enter a 16 mile trail race on Memphis' toughest trail today? Eh, hmm.... This may not go down as my all time best decision... But I WILL have fun. Actually, it shouldn't be too bad. The trail is a figure 8 loop that is just over 3 miles long,the goal is to do 5 loops but you can quit whenever. I talked BIL into going with me, I'd like to get in at least 3 loops. Real laid back race, no entry fee, or awards. They are bringing out some really fast local trail runners to see who can nail this thing.I'm just looking to get an 'easy' long run in, eat some free food and cheer some people on. They say if you can maintain a 30 min per loop pace, you could win.... that lets you know how hard the trail is.
 
Kevin- Congrats on the sub 20! Hope I can get there with you one of these days.
 
Jebba- Congrats on your race too! Have you ever done/considered running the Stump Jumper in Chattanooga? Looks really fun... thinking about the 11 miler this year.
 
Hawk- Good luck today (if you do race that is)

BBS--are you NUTS?! Looks fun though!
 
Nuthin' for me. Got to the pool, only to find everyone standing on the deck looking at the water. It was murky with all sorts of floaty stuff. Mmmm I think not! We all chickened out. We told the guy at the front desk he needed to close the pool. He didn't know if he could do that, he couldn't get a hold of the manager. Well, then just shut it down until you can get the water tested. He'd see...<img alt="BangHead.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/BangHead.gif">

Fun little afternoon spin for me. Son1 said he's coming down with the flu, and considering Spring quarter starts tomorrow, he felt it was best to skip this ride. Stupid windy again today. Because of yesterday's disasterous O&B ride, today I chose a loop course. Twice 'round Mill loop, each loop a skosh over 17m. The first 10 were brutal with head/cross wind. Then, I turned and enjoyed a well earned tailwind! I knew I wasn't done after the first loop so there was no question I'd do the second. And, truth be told, I probably could have done a third if I had a bit more time. Just shy of 35m total.
 
Asics--I really don't wanna think about comparing the pool with a dirty bathroom. The pool was bad enough. Considering I swim open water with all sorts of floaty stuff, the fact that I was grossed out should speak volumes!
 
BBS--nicely done! Glad it was you and not me though.
