getting ready to hit your watch?

I was confused (still am) Arbor Day is in April, why do you have a run in Nov for it? (my state founded it, and my husband gets it off work since it's a state holiday but I guess you can plant trees whenever).

No idea, but keep in mind Texas doesn't have Spring. lol!

Yes, I am checking my tune up race choices for Dallas White Rock Marathon.

Yes I not-so-fondly remember running in Ft Worth this Feb with 68 degree start marathon (Cowtown) and very high humidity. At least you have flowers in Feb. We are stuck in ice/snow till late March.

I was gonna say... Jerry's racing a bunch of middle schoolers. Talk about stacked odds.

Looks like you all wore the same uniform. Did they run Boston or do you go to the same school?

Heehee. I ran Boston. They came from one big running team.

I miss getting Arbor Day off (I too used to be a Nebraska state employee). But here in IL we get Lincoln's Birthday off as an extra holiday, so I guess that is OK. Very Happy
