Starting to feel better

I've been running and starting to feel better. I was the recipient of a sports massage and she kicked my butt.  I will probably run the bridge tomorrow morning as I have to try to prepare for the Colorado Relay next month.

Still Hot

Cami and I had a good Sunday run, though the heat really seems to be nonstop. Our mid-week speed work seems to be suffering more than our long runs. I just keep telling myself that it will all pay dividends when the autumn gets here. I will be traveling this weekend, but hopefully we'll have a few folks to carry on the tradition.

There were a couple interesting things to note in David Quick's most recent blog entry: (1) Neville Miller will be moving back to Missouri, and (2) a certain Robert Turner's name showed up on the results of the SOAR 5K run. Hmmmm.

Back in the Hood

Anne and I managed a brisk, short run on Sunday. Perfect pre-race for me. Then Gordon and I had a good time at the Born in the USA 4-Miler on Monday. With a race route basically through my childhood stomping grounds, Gordon got a grand tour of the neighborhood where I first developed a passion for running.

I'm definitely giving two thumbs up to summer races that provide a variety of fresh fruit. We had really good cantaloupe, watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries at the end (I also got a watermelon as my AG prize). Nice.

Ran into Cami on the greenway this morning. She and I plan to be there this Sunday for the long run. Hope to see others.

Happy 4th

We had a great run on Sunday. Greg, Gordon, Reagan and I managed to crank out a 12 miler. It was definitely a day to get the run done early. We saw lots of other runners out.

Are folks planning to race this weekend? I'm planning on running the Born in the USA 4 miler in Columbia on Monday. Time to see if I've shaken off the rust.

I know some folks are out to town, but I plan to be there Sunday for our morning run, though I don't plan to go too long. Anyone else?
