7 easy miles a bit faster than yesterday. Legs feel like they are back and ready to get started on perparing for the Phoenix Marathon on Feb 27.

On a side note, tomorrow is the second annual Hot Air Balloon Half which I am the defending champion (see race report under Rhett's Races).  It starts at 7:30 sharp on the island.  Registration is up 100% from last year as Blake has confirmed that he will be racing with me.  If anyone else wants to join us, you can sign up on race morning.  The cost is $00.00 and all proceeds go to me the race director.  There are no aid stations, no street closings, and you must wear a GPS watch as the turn around is when your watch says 6.55.  Everyone is welcome.  There will be approximately 50 hot air baloons flying around us in honor of our great race.  It is a beautiful sight to see.  Weather is expected to be in the upper 40s with almost no wind.  See you tomorrow.

If I head down after I get off work at 2:00 am, will I make it in time?

Have a fun run

Sounds like a fun time!!! Enjoy it

Dale, maybe you can make it next year. That would increase registration by another 50%. :)

HBR, it was fun, but the hot air balloons didn't fly because there was too much wind. :(
