What a great birthday weekend with QP. Overcast and drizzly but made for a nice run. Lots of hills but wasn't defeated by any of them. QP pulled me up the hills quite nicely :) Felt motivated by the variety of runners pushing themselves and it was evident in some of them that this race was a huge effort and struggle. One thing I love about these races is knowing people have worked hard to get there and are working hard to finish. I was having bathroom issues midway through so had to stop a few times to keep things in check. QP helped me scout for bathrooms, almost stopped at the gas station but it was closed. Wheres a porta john when you need one? Don't think it was anything I ate ... maybe just being in a hotel threw me off a little. Got a great new shirt at the expo, "There will come a day when I won't be able to do this anymore ... today is NOT that day!". Love that shirt ...

Thanks Brent. We did have a great time. It is great having a great friend. Who else can say they are friends with a pirate? Not too many people I bet.
