Mary's News 9/3 through 9/14
Hmmmm where have I left off and what do I need to catch ya’ll up on?
Unfortunately, I’ve missed the boat on logging my runs. I think it’s relatively fair to assume I got 1-2 runs in last week (definitely not more than that….I know I didn’t run on Labor Day).

It turns out we picked a group of high school dudes that play together on a u18 team in the area.
They had split their team up into offense and...
Mary's Official Again (well...almost)
My first task of September (other than opening my eyes to wake up) was to email OC marathon to request my deferral code and registration link so I can register for the 2011 marathon.
Of course, my email was met with this automated response:
