Mountain bike at shelby farms on tour de wolf trail.  Very muddy and lots of water on the trail from the melting snow.  Kind of challenging.   Need to do more of these this week to find out if I want to do the Wolfman Duathlon at the end of march.

Germantown half marathon is this coming Sunday.  I am not that thrilled with the prospect since I have not been doing any "long" runs, just 7 miles 6 days a week, some days 8 miles.  We'll see how this goes. My last half marathon was St. Jude in the beginning of December which was my 2nd best half marathon time.  I'll just get out there and do my best at Germantown.

I LOVE the Germantown 1/2 marathon (it is where I got my PR) -- is Bill Rodgers going to be there this year? Very nice guy.

If you have to, think about Germantown as a good training run ... Enjoy the good weather - I saw some pictures from Nashville this weekend (I just moved from there this past July) - I couldn't believe how much snow you guys got! I really miss the Southern winters, but I won't miss the Southern summers ;-).

Thanks, Bonnie! I have not heard whether Bill Rodgers is going to be at Germantown this year. Just the mention of him brings back the memory of my first half marathon, which was Germantown! He was there the first year I ran it (2005), I saw him at the start, walking around, talking to everyone, just a normal guy, not acting like a star or anything. Then later, out on Wolf River Blvd., there he is, running next to me and another guy, talking to us, very friendly, "runner's talk". He was running up on the grass because he had broken his leg the previous year and was still recovering and ran along with us for quite a while.

Yes, we did get quite a bit of snow but it's almost gone now. It made for a fun Saturday morning. Very unusual weather in the area this year. Where did you move to?

Happy running!

I don't think that BR is coming this year. For some reason, the past few years he has not? I also have good BR story. The first year he ran, he ran quite fast (~1:19 or so). The next year, I think, he broke his leg/ankle, so he was still on the mend. I was able to speak with BR for the first 3 miles about drug cheats, state of running, winter running, southern hospitality, etc. He was a "regular guy" that seemed to have a passion about running. After his 3 mile warm-up, he politely stated that he must go now and took off! Good luck on Sunday. The weather looks near perfect, again.

Hello Nicki and Mike, I just moved to Salt Lake City. BR was there when I ran Germantown in 2004, we met him at packet pickup, I warmed up with him (well, technically we were both finished warming up and were headed to the bathrooms ;-) ) and then saw him at the awards ceremony. He really is very down-to-earth guy.

I would have loved to hear his views on drug cheats!!

Have a good week! Bonnie
