    #dailymission - honestly the only thing that can knock me off my training is injury. Everything else there is away around, over, under or through. Staying healthy is my #1 concern.

      I'd bet on the over - and on you nailing it. Then I'd win twice - but really you are the winner pulling off another strong training run. Well done Joe. You deserve and have earned "that look".

      How nice for you, Joe! Glad you got home in time to enjoy this kind of weather. It's mid 60s here in Wichita today but we're supposed to take a turn for the worse in a few days. But hey, even that means the highs will reach the 40s. I can live with that kind of winter weather. Glad you got a few extra miles in to offset yesterday, and the pace is just tremendous!!

      I just got in from picking up the newspaper and thought the same thing - cold and still - perfect racing weather. I wasn't sure I would be ready to race this close to Houston so I didn't do 3M (though yesterday I felt great). Focusing on a PR Half Marathon in Austin in 3 weeks. (the day before I turn 40).
