Long-Term Running Goals:

I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter.  The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance.  Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.

Personal:

I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.

I got to the race a little early and wondered why they weren't set up yet.  Turns out I forgot they were starting at a different place, so I had an involuntary warmup and an involuntary cooldown session. 

I was determined to run a sub-7 minute pace, but they decided to throw in a hill.  It was only 1/5 of a mile, but it was enough to slow me down.  Oh well.

86 F felt suprisingly cool, 20-29% hum, calm winds, nice and clear
