Welcome to Running Jayhawk's Blog!

Oh yeah...I almost forgot...

I have my first 10k this morning.

I sit here and scratch my head wondering how come I've never done a race at this distance before. Should be fun. It's a nice, cool low 70 right now...compared to last year's race with a triple-digit heat index before the gun ever went off (we volunteered at a water station). Let's see how I fare. I've got a loose goal time in my mind, so hopefully we can come in under.

Sorry there hasn't been much blogging this past week. I've been a little busy bringing out my inner-geek with the latest Harry Potter (which, omg, is absolutely fantasmulicious!!). And when I'm not reading, I'm trying to relax and enjoy July...which, we established, weeks ago, was going to be uber-hectic.

And let's not even talk about last week's triathlon...you know...the series of unfortunate events that should have made us turn around and go home, but we, being knuckleheads, opted to ignore. Yeah. Let me tell you how awesome that was...not so much.

Dude, the weather was SO much better this year, even if it was still sort-of-hot and sunny. I didn't realize it was your first 10K - awesome!

Long time no see...so to speak.

Hope you did well today.

I saw a guy running on the lakefront yesterday with a 'Rock Chalk Jayhawk' shirt on and thought of you.

PS....I saw Mark Stojack a couple of weeks ago. But forgot to mention that you know him. So how do you know him?
