Running:

• My cold worsened last week and I decided to take a few days off to recuperate. I’m finally starting to feel better and hoping to get out for a run later today or else tomorrow. In the meantime I’ve been dreaming of trail runs and races to come, including the Post Oak Challenge next month (signing up for the double, probably 25k+quarter mara) and a full marathon later in the year (Route 66 in Tulsa). http://bit.ly/fmntPS #
