WOW! What an awesome morning for a run. The weather was perfect! So perfect that I went back and forth with wardrobe changes and STILL ended up stripping during the run - haha. Met up with Blair and his family, and I must say he is just as cute in person as in his photos. He just BEAMS!!! And his wife is an absolute doll. He and his son are just TOO funny. Poor Heather, like me, lives in a frat house - haha. But, I'm sure she would agree....it's all good! The run itself wasn't too bad. I would have preferred a more scenic route, but it was fine. We started out and my injury immediatly flared up. UGH! This was the first run that I've had to periodically walk....it was very disappointing for me. But....reminded me of my goal....to finish! And I did. Blair and I played tag a couple of times - haha, but by the 1/2 way mark I figured I was just going to man-it-up. My body and legs wanteds to go at one speed and my chest wanted a different speed, so I compromised and did both. Listened to my body and slowed when I needed too. I finished it in 1:11....slower than 2 weeks ago, but respectable considering my injury. Blair was at 1:15 and did an AWESOME job. We are already planning the next run. Hopefully those of you close by will join us. It will be a 5K...a nice easy run...or walk...... See ya on the road!

Hi Jill, Congratulations on your run!!! You are such an inspiration when it comes to exercising. Charlottesville has a Women's 4-miler in late August. Perhaps you may be interested in this? Someone posted this on the boards, too. Cindy

Thanks so much. That was really sweet of you to say! I'd love to do the 4-miler, but I will be doing a 1/2 marathon at the end of August....it's what I've been working towards for the past few months so I'd hate to give that goal up. But, thanks for thinking of me!

Well, I counted it and two children in strollers, two race walkers, and what appeared to be a homeless guy all crossed the line before I did, so I have a lot of work to do. Meeting Jill land her son was fun. She is also as wonderful as she seems. Our sons seemed cut from the same cloth. I spent the whole afternoon at soccer with my sons and then an art festival with my lovely bride. I am freaking beat.

I had weight loss surgery. I did it the easy way.

Well...if it helps.....the homeless guy (in LOAFERS mind you) beat me too

. But...you did an AWESOME job, and I personally think that it was a little further than 10K, because my Ipod told me that was the longest run I had completed to date....which makes NO sense since I've run in another 10K AND have used the 10K for training. How was your son's game????
