<p>Morning Kicksters</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA- A friend of mine runs an outfit called 'Rockin Running Tours'. He gives guided running tours of Memphis, on foot. Its fairly cheap, and you get shirts and he'll take a bunch of pics for ya. I think its a great idea. As for the BBQ, they say Interstate BBQ is the best, or Rendeszvous. The 2nd is a nicer place, I've never been to either. IMHO- if you want good BBQ you make it yourself or get it from someone you know. There is a little joint by my house that has the best homestyle BBQ, but thats probably a litle far for you.</p>

<p>Hawk- Yes, I am traveling out your way, well East at least... to Chattanooga Tn for the Stump Jump 50K/11mi. I'm doing the 11 of course, and right now I'm hoping that isn't too much w/ me being sick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Basically no sleepp yesterday, then did 5 miles w/ the group which was a struggle at first, but smothed out a little toward the end.</p>

<p>Couldn't ask for better trail race weather conditionstis weekend. Low 47*, High 65* and sunny. I'm a little more than intimidated by this race after watching some YouTube videos. Said to be one of the most technical and tuffest 50ks in the Southeast. But that being said, I'm not exactly 'racing' it either. Just looking to have a good time (or try too w/ this sinus mess). I guess I still have a goal in the back of my head of 2 hrs... or at least around it. We'll see.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are bout to load up and head that way. 6+ hour drive w/o a 5 year old and 4 month old... so may be an all day trip. Hoping I can squeeze in a run this evening or early tomorrow before the expo.</p>
