Only 5hrs of sleep and then a day of travel, no run. I did get to go hiking with the family in the Forest Preserves, Kaitlyn even walked a full mile by herself before needing to be carried.

Oh yeah, it is going to be fun running with you again on the WBR team! This time we WILL have to have a beer together!

I was happy to see that you are on board for the WBR. It will be great and I am looking forward to that finish celebration. It is fun being in Chicago this weekend. We have three parties in three nights so I'm glad I'm just still in recovery mode...
