Yeah, the big threads slow down the databases, or something.

No, I didn't race this weekend. Did you? Have you recovered from Boston yet? Got any races planned in the near future?

I ran the naturist 5K up by Decatur. Finished fourth (2nd AG), but I finished ahead of a guy who beat me a couple of times last year. And I beat last year's time by 1 minute.

I feel fine two weeks after Boston, though I'm probably still not back to full speed. We'll see. I may do a half-marathon in KC in June, and maybe something in OKC in a couple of weeks. May do the Dublin 10K again too; that thing has beaten me both times I've tried it, and I want to do it right for once.

At my last race, I won a certificate for one loaf of Panera bread, each month for a year. The one in Cedar Hill is the closest one to me, so I drove out there yesterday to get my April loaf. Got the Tomato Basil. Pretty good. I'll try a different flavor this month. Any suggestions? The mutli-grain and sunflower looked good to me.

---

Those sound good. I don't buy bread at Panera so I'm not familiar with the selections. BTW and FYI if you come to town for one of the FWRC races there's a Panera a few blocks south on University, just before the river. I sometimes stop in there for lunch.

It's June 11. Details here.[/URL" target="_blank">

Yeah, I knew there was a Panera on University, just easier to head straight up 67 to Cedar Hill then to have to mess with that Fort Worth traffic.

I just figured, if you happened to be in the neighborhood anyway ...

Brian, I checked out your link and last year's results. How is the course? The only 10K I've done this year was the Haltom Stampede, and that was after doing the 5K. So I think I can get myself up to par in time for this one.

I think you'd do fine. The course is middlin' hilly, not real bad; there's a block or two of gravel road in the first mile but otherwise it's pretty much normal, asphalt and some brick. The festival going on around it is kinda fun -- I liked touring the bottling plant.

Until last year the age groups were oddball, 36-40 and 41-50 for instance; they changed them last year *while the race was in progress* -- the first posted results had me third in the men 41-50, but then I became fourth in 40-44 because of two fast 40-year-olds. Oh well, I should be a bit faster this year.

The past two years were warm and humid.
