I was going to write up yesterday's run yesterday, but something bad almost happened - - the might Duke Blue Devils almost got beat by Belmont. Since I have lived in CA (way back when) I have been a Duke fan, they came out to California and cleaned UCLA's clock two years in a row, and I liked the way they played, since then, I have been a huge fan of the program. Last night, Belmont played an almost perfect game and lost by a single point. Incredible game.
Yesterday's run was a pretty fair run, I can tell spring is here because the winds have picked up a great deal. I did a quick out and back from the house, 5 miles out on Stoney Point Road and 5 miles back. Stoney Point used to be a pretty good run not so much anymore. Since all of the suburban sprawl occured, there is a ton of traffic on it, even at 6 am when I was running, so I was mostly off to the side of the road. There was a good tailwind on the way out and of course if you have a good tailwind on the way out, you have to suffer the headwind on the way back, no big deal, just makes me a stronger runner. Averaged out to be a 7:45 pace for the ten miles.
I think I am at a closure on the race day attire: With three votes (Julie, Fay and Don) cast I will go with the new shorts with the pocket, my FASTEST SHIRT EVER with my name on the front and I am considering a throw away shirt for the fine ladies of Wellsley College. The first 13 miles are downhill, so I should be able to put up with that. Umm, no earrings or sweatbands, but thanks for the suggestion Faye.

I'm counting on North Carolina to take the big one...No KU fan in this house.
Glad the tough decision is done on what to wear. It kept me up all night last night. I was all concerned about it. ☺
