March 25th, Sunday

Today I ran the Hot Chocolate 15K downtown.  If you are a chocolate lover, you have to do this next year!  The course was pretty hilly starting at the PetCo Park parking lot, going up to University via Florida and then down Pershing, up 26th St. & finally down C St. back to the start.  I ran way too fast, 9.36 miles in 1:22:45 which was below 9:00 miles.  I hope I am not hurting tomorrow!  That's what happens when I'm left to my own devices and don't run with someone who will keep me under control!

I'm starting to get a little bold in my advertising campaign for this run.  I decided to start to decorate my truck and here is the 1st step.  I have a few other ideas that might or might not happen but you will see it here if it does.


My truck is pretty old (177,000 miles) so I might get creative, we will see...

Hope you all have a great week!  I will be busy trying to pick 45 kids out of the 100 applications I have for Ambassadors for next year for school.  Always the toughest job I have all year!  Wish me luck!

Love you Mom & Dad!  <3

    Good luck picking the new Ambassadors for next year! :]
    You always do a good job, and the program succeeds due to your hard work and dedication.

    Hope your legs aren't feeling too tired! I'll talk with you soon Mr. Rickling!
