Quote of the day

 
     "It's not so much that I began to run, but that I continued."

     Great quote.  I need the motivation.  Today will be run streak day 369.  I'm registered for the Highlands Ranch half marathon.  I haven't run a race in quite a while and I am nervous, but if things don't go well, I'll just treat it as a training run.  I need a race right about now, though, to judge where I'm at in my training.
     Have a great Labor Day everyone.

Update:
     It was a great race....small, but well organized.  There was 642 feet of elevation gain balanced by 1432 feet of elevation loss.  The last two miles were all up-hill, however.  I only remember the elevation gain!  Time 2:36:39 per my garmin (11:59 pace).  Race results are not yet posted for this year.  I felt okay until mile 10 or so, when "the hill" started.  On the plus side, I ran all the hills.
