<p>it's been a while since i started one of these things so i'll take advantage of a late bedtime and get it going.</p>
<p>hey all, hope you're doing well.  i try to take a peek in here and read every now and then, but with so much travel lately and with work being as ballistic as it is i haven't had much time for horsing around.</p>
<p>running?  none for me.</p>
<p>but i did just buy a bike.  so as soon as i get over the sticker shock and put some miles in, i'm sure i'll feel better about the purchase.  i don't actualy get the bike until later next week so i'm really chomping at the bit.  i went out for 2 test rides and worked up a good lather doing it.  let me tell you, breathing in the cold air and having it blow in my face felt unbelievablly good.  what a stress reliever those brief rides were, even though they were probably only 5-10 miles total!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>it was great to hook up with <strong>moon</strong> last week and i'm bummed that <strong>kris</strong> was a week late in getting out to the left coast<span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130171903856243"><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130171903856242" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>.  i'm thankful that he was responsible the night we went out - i certainly wasn't (shocker, huh?).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>well, go get 'em and get to exercising.  i need a <strong><em>dankinia</em></strong>-like <span style="font-size:8px;">(was that her kr name?)</span> update on the recent goings-on around here.  anyone?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>one of my best friends is stepping in for me and running boston on what would have been my #.  in return, i'm helping him fundraise to exceed his goal for the <a href="http://www.hopkintonrespite.com" target="_blank">Respite Center</a> (the same charity I have run for the last 8 years).  If interested in supporting the cause, please send me a note.</p>
<p><strong>duck</strong>/<strong>jen</strong>, i'm hanging in hopkinton on sunday and monday AM and will be in the city afterwards.  got plans that you feel like sharing?  a PM may be best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>cheers</p>

<p>morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Race weather was perfect for me but the race..meh.  What we were supposed to do was 7 miles at LR pace then up to 6 miles at GRP and then cool down.  the race was 2 loops including THAT hill Cindi but no Baker Rd due to snow/ice.  LR Pace was not LR pace as we had someone pushing faster than I wanted for the first 4 miles and then GRP wasn't GRP due to the course and the fact I was pretty well spent already.  My left hammy was tweaking on the downhills and the tingling got progressively worse until 14 miles when it cramped....boo.  Overall, I am not happy with the results but it is done and detailed below.  New sunglasses worked out awesome though!</p>

<p>I finished off the morning with a beer, a blt and a cup of soup. Now off to nap!</p>
