Short run before we headed off as a family to Riverfront Park to make breakfast on the Coleman stove. Yum. Run was fine - stayed on the dirt road for most of it, took a new route. I was struggling heading uphill then looked at the watch and I was at an 8:30 going up. Not steep mind you but I'm normally a 9:15-9:30 on that same stretch. On the turn around I got the legs moving and it felt great. I wonder what I can do on a nice downhill course with proper training. Probably do okay. I doubt I'll do that in the SGM but I'm confident that I'll do pretty well.

Kam, my A is a 3:38 (beat Vard's 1988 SGM time), B is 3:45, and C is 4:00. Allie, breakfast was delicious! My SIL lives in town now and it was her idea - keeping her family traditions alive. Not quite dutch oven bacon over a wood fire like her & my wife's Grandpa used to make, but tastes so much better outdoors.
