  • Comments: On my way home I suggested to my wife to pick up 31 cu.ft. of soil This lead to a 3 hour yard work experience post race. I should have just be quite, go hom and relaxed. I think I just did a "redneck"-triathlon: Run, Lug bags of soil, plant

  • Comments: approached this as a training run since I am in the middle of training for TexasMan. wanted to run a 9min/mile pace and just enjoy the time. however, I was feeling so good that by mile 4 I was hitting a pace of 7:45!! so, I decided to hit it hard and go for he PR. continued 8min pace and didn't start to really hit the wall until about mile 11. Had to really dig for the final 2 miles but I finished with a new PR by almost 12 minutes!!!!

  • Comments: A chiro there after that was giving massages so I decided to go over and ask about the numbness. He checked me out and told me I was having a problem with my Soleus muscle which is from over useage. He said it is not a major issue but I do need to see someone when I get back to Las Vegas and get it worked on. I am just thankful that I know there is not a MAJOR issue going on and all will be okay. Overall, I am not very happy with my time but considering the fact that my foot was numb from miles 4-7 I can't complain. I do think I may be returning for this event next year!!!! And finally, I have to give a big, big thanks to Texoma, Chile7473, and Rkreuser!!! Without the motivation and support from these three peeps I could not have finished!!! I appreciate all you do for me!!!!
