Wanted: Waldo
Saturday afternoon I'll be haring a hash in downtown Clayton. I need the services of a "Waldo" as one of the features will be a live Where's Waldo hunt at the Clayton Art Fair.
Saturday run
We'll meet at the Grant's Trail trailhead at 6:00am. Oliver and I will cache water on the way out. If anyone has any questions, please get a hold of me.

I fought the Treadmil and the Treadmil won.
Out of town for the long weekend. Wedding went well, running not so well. Wet weather settled in the morning after we arrived. I opted to wait a day to see if it would clear up. It didn't, so I did 6 on the treadmill and gave the weather another chance.
No dice. It was time to own up, so I set the MPH at 6 and settled in with a bad TV for 16 miles. It's over and I don't intend on repeating it any time soon.
On the plus side, I did do the 16 mile run and I tried out the PowerBar Gel packets. They seemed to do the trick, so there's another option for goo. Chocolate wasn't too bad and the double latte, with 2x the caffeine, was a nice change.

A good run
I'm up at the Hog Capital of the World, (Kewanee, Illinois) this weekend for thier annual fall festival, Hog Days. I did the 4 mile Hog Days Stampede this morning (I'll do my long run tomorrow). I did great! Here are my splits
Mile Time
1 8:12
2 16:08
3 23:55
5K 24:45
Finish 31:36
This was gun time, no chips. I self seeded poorly, and spent the first 1/2 mi working my way through the pack to the spot I should have started in. Because of this, I think I should have been about 30s faster overall (more or less irrelevant). The field was 425 runners, and I finished 98th. Very happy :)
