I neglected to mention that Saturday was Syttende Mai (literally, 17th of May), Norwegian Constitution Day, akin to our 4th of July. So, happy belated Syttende Mai to my fellow Norwegians!
Sunday I'd hoped to go out and run at Chester Woods, but it just didn't work out. For one thing after 11 miles on Saturday, I didn't think attempting 10 challenging miles would be a good thing as my running isn't going that weel and I had just an hour to run. So I ran down to county 22 and around the bottom of the hill before we had a graduation open house to attend out in Byron. Photos above.
Track & Field on TV: Thursday on FSN (Channel 30 on Rochester Charter Cable) at noon, Pacific 10 Championships; Friday at 12:30 pm, Big 12 Outdoor Championships.
Med-City marathon is still in need of course marshals. If you're able to help out for a few hours, please contact Ben at the Y. Look for the RTC water stop just east of the bridge near the golf course. ;-)
Look for a sale at Running Room during packet pick-up on Friday and Saturday. No details yet, but there will most likely be bargains to be had. Still needed for upcoming clinics: 10K instructor. Contact Paula if you'd like more information about this position.
Great Harvest will be having a fundraiser on Sunday for a relative of the staff who's preparing for a kidney transplant at Mayo. He's a single father who's been unable to work for 3 years because of his medical condition. A note: There is no surcharge on product for these fundraisers. The Sweeneys just generously give the proceeds to thes worthy causes. So consider stopping by when you're out and about on Sunday from 9 am to noon. North Broadway and 7th St NW if you've not been there before. (If that's true, you're really missing out!) The Sweeneys are very generous supporters of many, many community events including RTC events.
New for running skirt shopping deals: Skirt Sports Outlet . Lots of things at half price, including a zebra print skirt with pink accents. That just might have my name on it!
It's time for the Off-Season Striders to get off and running. The (short) season will commence on Saturday at 7:30 AM at Panera South. Routes, distance and pace are highly adaptable. The only constants? Java, food and conversation. Consider joining them!
Last night was Cooking Light at my house. Faves? Probably the scones (Barbara) and the cake (Kelly). Fabulous, both of them. But everything was very good. I found that making pasta by hand (as in rolling with a rolling pin and cutting with a knife) is rather putsy and might be worth it on occasion, but not for general consumption. ;-) Eric just passed through and grabbed a scone and said they taste 'just like pizza' which is a big complement from a 21-year old!
Well, that's all it my short list. As always, I welcome bloggable contributions!
Thought for the day: 'An apology is a good way to have the last word!'
Cheers.

Not if I get to that zebra skort first! I am the biggest "zebra" collector alive, am just sure of that! You should see my desk at work, =)
I second the comment on the generosity of Great Harvest. This past weekend they called us to ask if we would like bread for our Roll & Stroll event. We hadn't even approached them, they called us!
Much to our surprise, when we picked up the contribution, it was 60 loaves of a delicious variety of breads! Very generous indeed.
