So, training for the 8K is fine, did 4.5 miles last week, then 4 miles of (Iowa) hills yesterday, and feel great. Now I'm "tapering" and eating for a good hard run on the 4th. Goal is to finish in under 45 min. Since this is a huge race, we'll see. Probably take me 2-3 min to get to the start line after the gun goes off

On another note, I went to the inaugural meeting of the Cedar Rapids Xtreme Triathlon Club on Wed night. I did a sprint Tri in 2000 (The Pigman) and will eventually get back into it once my family life allows for more free time. Training for a tri takes 3X as much time, since there are obviously 3 things to get in shape for.

Anyway, while there, I learned about a new cross country race just starting this year here in Cedar Rapids. The Devils Dash. Please check out the great website.

Anyone interested in participating???? I'll likely just be doing the 5K, run or walk will dependon if I ever get knocked up. I walked a favorite race the year it fell when I was 4 months pregnant.

I'd love to host some Cellarites!!!

I think that logo had a few misprints. Here, I fixed it:

We've been razzing you about Iowa being flat, but I'm sure on foot, especially running for time, some of those rolling hills look like the Rocky mountains. I'd get tired just following in a car.
