Ok except for that 5th one. Not happy about the effort it took to get them done though. But with waking up three times last night I may have been a little tired. That and it was chilly this morning 30F(26Fwc).

WOW! As of 7:15am MST, I am on the first page of the mileage board and it is Thursday!

Way to go!

Congrats- if you run first Sunday morning, I bet you can be on TOP of the mileage board, too!

Jon, The problem with that is those East Coasters (I guess that includes you but at least I have the Sunday pass) and Europeans on the blog...

Obviously the mileage board is not everything and all joking aside I'll take any sign of progress I can get.

Mom, See you tomorrow. I'll give you a call but are you going to get me from the airport?
