Revenge on Pine Mountain 40. 3rd time's the charm I hope, with enough speed & hill work. Marathons, 50Ks... maybe my 1st 100 miler.

  2. After 4 days of thwarted workouts, I've decided to give up fight to fit midday runs into the end-of-schoolyear schedule. Will be running at 6:00 am tomorrow, while rest of family sleeps.

    The nice little loopy trail off Riverside Drive, just east of GA-400 is underwater. Nasty, contaminated water. (A warning sign for E Coli contamination was put up every time it flooded last year.)

    good Neighborhood Loop 2.14 mi 00:26 11:59 pace

    Little old man dog had a running day. Slow lope, but running. Good to see, since most days are a lot slower at 13+ than they were when he was 12 years old.

      Poor guy... at least you got him out there and really that's not too shabby a pace for 13+ years old

  13. Saturday: 90% chance of rain. Guess my Friday cardio will be pushing the mower through an acre and a half of grass, because waiting for teens to be home is not an option.

      Adam - I'm planning to do 42 miles at Killah's Backyard Spankin' for my 42nd birthday in June. It's a last man standing, 5k loop each hour event. Need to do lots of mid to late day miles to get used to warmer weather.
