Today the Snook and I hit Old Navy. Hard. Good thing we brought an extra suitcase! Now all cosy in Uncle Ron’s guest room / man cave.
The red pants were $8 on sale. He got them because, yes, he’s actively TRYING to dress like Sheldon Cooper now. http://twitpic.com/294zdi
Nostalgic trip through the old haunts today. Visited my old high school, the grocery store I worked at, our old house in Wolcottville…
You can really smell the serenity out here. Gorgeous day. http://twitpic.com/297yan

Check out the 6.40 km run I did with RunKeeper – Easy recovery. 2mi out in the sun; 2mi on treadmill inside. Sore from the race.
W00t! Finished 6th out of 16 in my age group! Top 50%!! http://timetorun.net/Results/2010/Elkhart%20County%20Parade%205000/agegroup.htm
Neglected to put sunscreen on my legs. I look like I’m wearing red socks. Oops.
@imdominating @UrbanGmaChic @carbolicious GAHHHH! And he’s even wearing a Pacey shirt! So awesome.

I think this will go down as the HOTTEST race I’ve ever run. The storms that went through over the weekend lowered the humidity, but it was still a very sunny day (probably mid-80s). Nevertheless, I am thrilled to report that I successfully met my goal of finishing within 35 minutes with no walking. The Snook made a valiant effort to catch me in the last half-mile but I outlasted him. Mom also finished strongly near her goal time of 40 minutes. The official results are here. And hey! I actually finished in the top 50% of my age group! That’s a first. 🙂
Heading to the fairgrounds for the Elkhart County Fair 5K Road Race!
On the bus to the starting line! Feeling keyed up. http://twitpic.com/28lkfs 90% of the field looks to be high school track stars. EEP!
Finished! Snook and I both met our 35min goal! SO HOT. Mom did 40min, and Joey finished 3rd in kids race!
Hahahaha… Snook just won a door prize! 2 trackside seats to the country concert at the Fair Wednesday night!

Just completed a 3.22 km run with RunKeeper – Another 2mi to make up my scheduled LSR for the week. Phew. Sweaty.

Severe thunderstorm warning! We’re all hunkered down in the basement. http://twitpic.com/28167q
We survived! The power flickered, but it’s all good now. For some reason Syd storms scare me more, despite Indiana’s penchant for tornadoes.
Family reunion time. Here’s Snookums with my aunt’s tiny, tiny chihuahua. http://twitpic.com/288da6
@venks79 Oh no! Sorry to hear it!
@TimBags Looks awesome! Sorry we can’t be there.
Sitting out by the lake. Rain’s stopped and the sun has come out! http://twitpic.com/289ioa
Me with my 2nd cousin Jaden. WHAT. A. CUTIE. http://twitpic.com/289q7v
It’s a wonder any Indiana kids survive to adulthood. We would’ve LOVED this growing up. http://twitpic.com/289sn6
@SallyPompom Congratulations!
One more from the reunion: me and Grandma Harter. This is where I get the Korean from! http://twitpic.com/28cfcp
@imdominating My comments are tempered by the fact that the Snook reads my tweets. So I’ll just say: HUMMINA.

So far vacation hasn’t stopped me from getting in the miles! The Snook and I arrived in Petaluma, California last Saturday morning and spent that first day resting up. On Sunday, I went out for my long run. I used RunKeeper to search for routes in the area, and I noticed that many of them ran alongside the airport. So that’s where I headed! I did my 8km pretty easily that day. Petaluma is flat, and the weather was cool and dry. On Tuesday the Snook joined me for a 6km run through a few parks. Now we’re in Indiana, gearing up for the big Elkhart County Fair 5K Road Run on Sunday. It’s a lot more hot and humid here. We joined Mom today for a nice slow 5K alongside the river in Elkhart. It was probably close to 90F (about 32C). We survived though! Our entry forms for the race have been dropped off. The really funny thing is that the race runs along the parade route and starts 10 minutes before the parade, so we’ll have “thousands” of people cheering us on! (Mom’s worried that if she doesn’t go fast enough, she’ll get run over by a marching band!)
July 18: 8.25km
July 20: 5.96km
July 23: 5.66km
Total this week: 19.87km (12.4mi)
Total in 2010: 545.36km (340.85mi)
I’m only 12km behind my goal to run 1000km in 2010! I’ll let you know how we go with the race…
