Great, great weekend. I volunteered at two races (riding my bike to both of 'em), the Women's Distance Festival 5K on Saturday and the Barr Trail Mountain Race on Sunday. Very inspiring to watch so many runners have great races: Katie PR'd for 5K, BLOS took seven minutes off his best BTMR, Jillian ran 2:31 and took home some hardware, Amanda was top five for the ladies, Shad ran a great race despite refusing a pacer for the final half mile, Nick was solid, GZ proved to be slightly better than 2 flat, and Nell McCaffery, who had an epic wipe out in front of Katie, GZ, and I at the spur and still got up to finish in 3:29:59 - beating the cutoff for the race by one second. Really awesome seeing all this. And of course, deserved or not, the 2:12 Kenyan marathoner who had his ass handed to him by the mountain will probably become part of BTMR lore.
Lots of other people doing great stuff, including AJW's win at Vermont and Tim's toughing it out at North Fork, but here's about all I did all weekend long:

Are you sick? What's wrong? You always race whenever you have the chance. Keep it up. I am sure we can find something for you every weekend until Aug 21.
Hey - thanks again.
Where is the shot from Kinsfolks?
Looking forward to a month of smack talk between Brownie and Brandon.
