6 easy miles w/ Darin. Feeling a little bit of a chest cold or something. It doesn't seem to be impacting my running. Went slow mainly because it is HOT outside at lunchtime now.

Take care of that cold were getting really close to UVM. Looks like your getting your quality miles in. Keep pounding out the hills, UVM is just about all gentle down hill.

Sending good health your way, Marc.

From Rhett on Fri, May 07, 2010 at 13:38:11 from 74.32.222.202

I hope the cold is nothing. At least we are still over a month out from UVM so you have plenty of time to get better.

From Smooth on Fri, May 07, 2010 at 14:51:44 from 174.23.172.155

Nut'n stops you, not even a cold!

UVM will feel so much cooler to you, at least less humidity than what you're running in TX!

From Smooth on Fri, May 07, 2010 at 14:53:04 from 174.23.172.155

OH! Almost forgot! CONGRATS on making the SGM lottery!

whatcha been up to since thursday?

From MarcE on Sat, May 08, 2010 at 18:49:14 from 204.16.82.120

Work was so busy, I never even checked my email...last night went to a friend's and watched "Hurt Locker" (6 Academy Awards -- good movie, but not a "feel good" movie)

Slick - yeah, the cold isn't too bad. A little upper respiratory infection. Didn't slow me down at this morning's Buffalo Boogie 5K. (report to follow, soon)

Rhett - I'm so bummed for you and Doone. Charity spots are still available..it would be well worth it. Lark has done it several times.

Smooth - Can't wait for UVM. This morning it was about 60 at the start of my 5K -- and it felt chilly :) I remember Park City -- that was chilly! Thanks for checking on my SGM entry. Signed up .. not sure why (mostly only to see my Utah friends).. but, I'm in now! :)

Kathie - 4 sure!
