Good (late) Sunday to all! The Princess and I decided to go out for breakfast this morning as we were up a bit late watching "The Wrestler" last night. Decent enough movie, I suppose. Kind of typical Hollywood but I like Mickey Rourke.
Good to see guido made it back alive!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insanity, my friend! Sheer insanity! Well, it is a nice day here in Vegas and I think I will barbeque tonight! I have baseball on the TV and all is well with the world. Hope all of you have a wonderful Sunday!!!!! |

Not a personal best but I didn't want to push things today. I was really glad to see how well this race was organized. People lining the streets spraying you down with their garden hoses and watering / sports drinks / med at every mile marker. Could have EASILY been like Chicago last year. It was HOT!

I'm glad to hear you came through fine Guido! Well done!

Such killers, in fact, that someone died. Sadly, I saw him. Came in on a stretcher right behind me. It was seriously hot. 30,000 started and thousands dropped out.
