Decided to meet Darin before work. Even though it was only 75 degrees, it was still humid. Managed a good 6 miles. Starting to rethink UVM -- I haven't run long in several weeks. Not sure running a marathon will be wise...I'm sure the weather will be much better. I'll give it a lot of thought. It might be just a long, easy training run. (either way we're planning to be in Utah for that weekend)

So much to do this week. My youngest is graduating Kindergarten, and my oldest is graduating high school! Family coming to down this weekend. It'll be fun!

Sounds like you've had your hands full this past week, be sure to get out early this week and get in a 17 miler just for fun and training. The weather for the UVM is going to be great. Looking forward to seeing you and yours in the near future...

If the weather continues all crazy like it has been, you may be running in snow at UVM.

I hope your week is a blast with family and friend!

Just run UVM on auto-pilot you have done that before and did great!

That is great! My youngest graduated from Kindergarten last Friday (but I still have one more year of HS for the oldest!!)

I say if you are here, you might as well RUN the race, just don't RACE the race!
