Solo run on the Mineral Wells Trailway after church. Was going to do 15, but decided to make it a fast 10 (had some fence work to finish at home).

Nice job on the fast ten. Did you mend the fence? If I ran a fast ten, I wouldn't be able to move after.

GOOD JOB speedy! NICE work handyman!

Fence work, slow down and enjoy the scenery. With the paces you train at, you should be running sub 3 marathons. :)

nice run Marc!

Nice run How did the fence turn out?

From MarcE on Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 10:38:43 from 129.188.33.26

The fence came out OK -- I had to cut a hole in it to put in a new gate so that I could have someone mow and bale the field. (I really enjoy doing that kind of stuff -- it's just there's not enough daylight hours this time of year :)

Yeah--this seems like it might be one of those really cool Texas runs.

Good job!
