In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Warmed up on the trails and checked out the loop that we'll use tomorrow for the company picnic 1/4 mile race. Its more like 0.2 miles but its casual. It was in good shape. It curves around through the woods and has a short downhill and uphill. We do 5 separate races for different age groups.

Did pushups inbetween 1/4 mile intervals. Paces were 5:44,5:45,5:42,5:28. Pushups- 22,17,17,15,17. Felt good to get some speed work in. Legs feel good.

Next race is the 15K at MonteSano - 10/11. It'd be nice to beat last years time- 1:03:10.

The Liz Hurley 5K is the weekend after. I'll shoot for the same goal . 2007 race was 19:17. Under 19 would be nice.

Hey Eric, I think that the Blimp was headed to the Talladega 500. How is the Liz Hurley course? Flat , hills? I'll see you at the picnic tomorrow. Let me know if you need help with the races.
