RMOC annual meeting.

Three-hour mini-rogaine in Boulder. I didn't have any speed in me whatsoever -- I walked almost the entire time. It's painfully steep out there...but really pretty.

Walk to and from the start.

Indoor soccer. We snagged a fill-in goalie and...we won! 8-6.

Today was the first day of the six-week "Strength Training for Runners" class at the rec center. (I'm hoping to some day make the transition from "jogger" to "runner".)

I was curious about the instructor's qualifications and how challenging the class would be -- but she's a former elite cyclist and ultra-runner who has "downgraded" to marathons. Perfect! Also, several of the other eight students (all women) are marathoners and repeat customers of the class, so that's a good endorsement.

Travel day... The two-hour+ layover in Atlanta stunk -- especially since it preceded a three-hour flight. But, that layover did give me the opportunity to beat Troy at Scrabble (a rare occurance).
