| QOC meet at Little Bennett Regional Park, Clarksburg, MD. I wasn't sure which course I wanted to run today, but when I found out Peggy was out on Blue, I figured I needed to run Blue, too. It was a good day. It started out a little rough because my stomach was acting up, and by the 4th control, I was in a bit of gastric distress. But the gods were looking out for me because on the way to #6, while coming out of the woods and into a field, I spied two port-a-potties, and one of them had my name on it! Yahoo!! After that, I felt much better and could concentrate on the course. The biggest trouble I had was on #9...I contoured around from #8, but stayed too high, didn't see the field and hit the stream on the far side of the ridge. I just circled to the NW, saw the field and found the cliff. Not too bad. I also missed the last control because I had shut down my concentration, thinking the race was just about over, and overshot the control by a bit. Rats! There was some significant climb towards the end of the course, and I could feel it in my legs after yesterday's run. All in all, though, I was pleased, and it was most excellent training for Fair Hill. Tanner and Graham had great runs, too! |

| I decided that I liked that run last weekend so much, I wanted to do another 10 miler. I tried to rope Valerie into doing it with me, but she was already promised to her husband...something about being a yard work slave for the day. As luck would have it, my neighbor, Carol, e-mailed me to see if I was interested in doing our neighborhood run this morning. I managed to convince her to do a 10 mile trail run at Fountainhead instead of a 4.6 mile road run...see, I'm a good salesperson. It was another grey morning, a not so good morning after all. But, we made it through in quite good time, and Carol likes to chit-chat, so that makes the time go by faster. I'm not always a big fan of chit-chat, but on a run, it's fine. Other times, it's not so fine. |

| I went on a little ride around the new Marriott Residential Inn that's going up, through the new office park with all of the parked office buildings, down Rt. 1 past the new hospital that will take of the injured weekend warriors with aching hips, a quick spin through muscle beach with a touch of eye-candy and then home just in time for Drs. McDreamy and McSteamy. Yum! |
