Sorry I have been a little occupied. 6 month olds seem to do that to a new daddy. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have missed reading your blog. So a comment on your writings on the 5 don'ts. 1. Arent you suppose to wear what you are going to wear on race day so nothing is new? Okay, Im sure you probably got enough of that. As for the rest I would not agree more. Especially the 100000 miles a week strategy. Iv'e learned its like a tip and balance type thing.

There was some great advise there and we all know that its not a "one size fits all". We take what we need from it. <br /><br />As far as dumb things, we all have our stories :)<br /><br />Having a blog is like being a celebrity. Get the "hey I read your blog" and the "can I take a picture" all the time!!... I wish!! Ha! But If I saw you out and about I would definitely stop you and at least talk to you....
