Amazing! On Sunday, April 27 the Alley Pond Striders 5 M challenge will be held at Alley Pond Park. This will be my fourth time running this race. How time flies! For me, this race marks the beginning of spring and the running season.

I ran last year in 0:36:12.1 (7:14/mile). I'm a year older and a quick review shows I've been slacking in my workouts this month. Too much going out I suppose. I hope all the biking I've been doing will allow me to push the pace and beat my record.

My watch is disintegrating. Offically, I've logged nearly 4000 miles since May 2005 and wanted a quick picture to prove it.

On a more somber note, Belle passed away yesterday. She was 11 years old.
