polka fest 10k

thanks to jim over at terrell daily photo for today's photo of me at the beginning of the polka fest 10k...

my time wasn't great today, but i had an excuse. last night, while preparing for the race, i reached for a 24oz beer from the top of the cooler at the convenience store - and a 24oz can next to my selection fell and hit me on the ankle. i had visible swelling and a bruise! so, i limped along today and finished my 6.2 mile run in 1:20.

It was a nice run, with a cool breeze... and even with my bad time I didn't come in last =) so all's good!

one more

another pic of outdoor kitty... still haven't found that mouse, but the steel wool seems to be doing the trick for the hole on the back porch =)

outdoor kitty
