6:45 a.m. Cramming for the 10k tomorrow. Herding cats run with Anna, Ash and Jack. Jack is 1 today. What a great year we've enjoyed with him around. We crossed paths with the Viewmont xcountry team. He was waving and saying "hi" as they all passed. We stopped at Dicks for a yummy cake donut. Anna is mad at me because I was telling her to keep up. I'm such a turd dad. My expectations for tomorrow are pretty low; maybe the off-week last week will work in my favor. Funny how it matters for some reason; it's not like I'm a talented runner or anything... Still, I'm hoping for a pr, but there is nothing in my training since UVM that indicates one will be forthcoming. The speedyish 5k 3 weeks ago feels like a distant memory. In any case, the Desnews 10k is a top-notch event. I hope to go find some marathon friends to run in and just enjoy the crowd and heat.
