A Whirlwind of a Weekend...

Wow, the weekend just flew past!  Ken worked all weekend, (I did venture out on Sunday to help him for a few hours).  This past weekend was my last long run before Chicago.  After much thought and debating with myself on how far I should go, I called my friend Susan and we talked through it.  Since I had such an amazing 18 miler the weekend before (average pace was 9:02 without much effort), she told me she did not think running another 18 or 20 miler would be much of a benefit.  I agreed.  I am so ready for this thing!

I ran 16 miles on Saturday and tried to focus on not going to fast.  It was tough.  I kept looking down and I was going faster than I wanted.  I just hope I have this same feeling on 10/10!

I leave you with this photo of me with Johnny Dare at Bikers for Babies on Sunday.  Johnny Dare is a huge radio personality in Kansas City.  His radio station is not my taste in music, but I could not resist having my photo taken with him.  When Ken and I were walking him to his motorcycle, all kinds of people were stopping him for pictures, hugs, handshakes, you name it.  I could not believe it. 

In case you are wondering, his arms are as buff as they look. 

Happy Hump Day!
