Decided to go ahead and race tomorrow morning, so I just ran a couple easy miles in the neighborhood this morning to loosen up a little.  Might do a couple more this evening if Travis wants to hit the trails.  The race tomorrow is a road 5K with a downhill 1st mile, rolling 2nd mile and uphill 3rd mile (looks like a gain of 100 feet steadily over the whole mile - yes, thats a hill in Florida).  The whiners last year (I didn't run it) said it was tough - guess we'll see.

That makes 5 days of running in a row and tomorrow will be 6!!

Good luck to you and Travis (assuming he's running too) with race - look forward to the report.

Downright crazy, I know! Needed something to kick me out of the doldrums. Pretty sure its just the heat, but haven't really had any strength lately. I figure a race environment will at least let me know if its physiological (weight, hydration, nutrition) or just the dog days of summer. I would think I should be no slower than the Midnight Run - 20:13 - we'll see.
