been a while

Well, it's been a while since I last posted. The running has had its ups & downs. I missed the Vancouver 1/2 due to being in Berlin & Wales on vacation. I then missed the Seattle SeaFair 1/2 due to oversleeping (though I'd like to blame the shuttle busses). And, due to injuries from an ATV accident on July 4th I was unable to participate in the Napa 1/2 Marathon. But, I'm now getting set for the trip to France and the Medoc Marathon. My goals have been adjusted to 12min/mi pace and a finish time of 6 hours or less.
