Met Darin and Dave at Lake Grapevine and ran the paved trails. This is the first run with Dave in over a month..he's slowly getting back into it. Ran 8 miles with D&D, then went out for another 4...wished I had time for more. I really need to get some long runs in...and soon.

I'm taking some vacation days this week, so perhaps I can find time for a mid-week 18-20 miler. SGM is getting closer!

Oh ya, SGM is almost upon us!!! Thats like seven (7) weeks away, which gives you 4 weeks of give'em hell training and then cruse into a three week taper!!!! and then it's all done but the crying? Good to see you getting some good mileage.

Good miles. No time like the present to throw in that 20 miler.

I decided to escape Texas and drove my boys to Colorado for a quick mini-vacation. I'm home again...and already missing the cool, clean mountain air!
