Most of the usual folks are back and there's some newcomers. Glenna, Dennis, Troy, Angela, Carrie, Melissa, Chris, and even Chuck came down.
Yesterday, we ran the 7-mile course up past Eden ...

It's hard carrying a camera for 8 miles. But it's much harder carrying a camera for 26.2 miles. So I thought I'd bring the camera with me for our last run before the marathon.
Without further ado, here's Saturday's run in pictures ...
7 AM. We huddle around the sign-in table. ...

The 20-mile run from Ault Park was scheduled for 7 AM Saturday morning.
I woke up Saturday morning at 5 AM and thought I could get one more hour of sleep in. Not a chance. Next thing I know the alarm clock says 6:50 AM and I haven't even rolled out ...

Here's a brief recap of this morning's 18-mile run told as I lay here on the couch watching NCAA basketball icing my knees and tendons.
I couldn't sleep Friday night in anticipation of 18 miles Saturday morning. That, and staying up late to watch Siena beat Ohio State.

This week's run was only 10 miles. I say "only" because last week was 16 and next week is 18.
Comparatively, 10 miles didn't seem that bad.
If worst comes to worst, I guess this means I can always run the half marathon.

Saturday's route was one of my favorite so far - 14 miles up through Eden Park, through O'Brienville into Hyde Park, around Hyde Park to Delta Ave, then down the hill to River Road and home.
This combined the hill from about mile 5-12 withe the final 6 miles down River ...

Montgomery Inn is celebrating their anniversary. $19.95 buys you all the ribs and Saratoga chips you can eat from Sunday - Thursday this week.
This was the sign that greeted us as we pulled into the Montgomery Inn Boathouse. Even at 7:30 AM ribs sounded good.
Here's a shot of Dennis and ...

Wednesday night. Went to the Meters and Miles run for the first time.
Never realized the shop was right across the street from Newport on the Levee.
There is an excellent water-resistant jacket onsale there that I may have to go back for. But enough about new running equipment.
Tonight's run was 50 ...

Today's run was 11 miles through Western Hills. New course. Felt good on Valentine's Day.
We had an excellent conversation early on while we all still felt fairly normal.
My favorite quote of the day came from The Fast and the Furious:
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time."
