Is that me right in front of you? I may need to re-think my running attire for tomorrow :)

Good luck!

Awesome photo.

Thanks Cal.

p.s. Tom, i keep thinking one of these days your blog will re-appear...

maybe you'll at least put it up long enough for a race report?

good luck!

From RivertonPaul on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 11:54:13 from 67.42.27.114

I agree with Cal.

Thanks, Your pics kill me every time..

Sounds good to me Paul. If for some reason we don't catch either other at the buses I'll look for you at the start line, I'll try to be hanging out somewhere within 10-20 ft from Sasha.

I'm not completely sure what my game plan will be tomorrow. The running gods haven't been that kind this week to me as I've been fighting a cold/sore-throat the last couple of days. So I may go out a tad conservative then play it by ear.

Cal - I'll think about it....I've gotten kind of used to not usually even logging my runs other than on the garmin except for races. I was planning on 2009 being a "rest" year for me. No pressure and just run by feel. But then it turned out that by listening to my body and not killing myself during training runs I recently find myself feeling better than I ever have and approaching PRs in recent races. Seems like I tend to allow the public blog to put too much "pressure-to-impress" on myself and I do dumb things and get hurt.

Anyways sorry for the long-windedness, perhaps if I survive 2009 all good and well I'll test the public blog waters again in 2010?

Good luck tomorrow. What's the goal?

From RivertonPaul on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 12:15:55 from 67.42.27.114

Thanks, Andy. Tom Lee and I are hoping to squeak under 3:00. I'm a bit concerned since my left calf has been bothering me, but I'll give it a go. Even with my set back, I feel I'm way ahead of my fitness at this time last year, so I figure why not.

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!
