Nice little run. I wish it would drizzle here, instead of snow.

Yo Marc, 3 days 16 hours till show time? Do you know your Houston Marathon bib number yet????

From fly on the Wall on Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 16:31:40 from 204.113.19.47

Marc, Have fun in Huston. If your blog count is correct (21), you've run one more marathon than I have. Huston will make it 2 and Cowtown 3. If you haven't included ultras, you'll be up by 6! I better get busy and try to catch up.

Bite your tongue Dale! This has been the worst snow year on record (or close to it). And worst means a lack of snow! In December SLC had less than 0.1" of precip. Might as well be living in So Cal again.... or not!

NICE taper run! :)

GOOD LUCK and have a ton of FUN at Houston! :) Wish I was there!

Dale - it snowed here 1 time back in December, then it melted. It's nice to see the white stuff once in a while.

Slick - Bib Number: 4515

Corral Assignment: A - gate closes at 6:40 AM

Corral Start Time: 7:00 AM

Age On Race Day: 46 Gender: M

Fly - Yup, I've cut back on the marathons a bit in the past year or two. Houston will be 22. Cowtown will be 23, and after that, I just don't know. I may have more marathons than you, but you by far put in more training/fun runs.

Thanks, Smooth! Maybe someday they'll run Houston on Saturday so you can couple a marathon with visiting your grandbabies!
