KM 5k

Running:
Saturday morning I was supposed to be watching my daughter run at her XC meet. Turns out the coach held her out because of a quad injury. Nothing serious he just wanted to keep it from getting worse. Because she didn't run I opted to run a local 5K last minute. Optimally I would have rested for this on Friday, but as mentioned I didn't anticipate running this. It's a pretty hilly course. I ended up finishing 6th overall with a time of 21:15. I was second in my age group as my competition showed up for this race. Neil is a good runner. I've beaten him several times in previous years, but not this year. Anyway here's a link to the results. http://www.badgerlandstriders.org/results/09KETTLE1_Results.txt
Today I got out early and ran a nice 12 miles. The first 6 were run at about 7:20 to 7:30 pace. The next six is primarily up hill so things were a bit slower. Overall the run took me 1:35:34. I'm pleased with this run. With the Lakefront marathon 1 week away from today it's now all about resting enough with a little running just to stay sharp for race day.

Hunting:
Today I'm going out with my friend Wayne to get a look at a new property. We have a coworker who's looking to eradicate some of the deer that are destroying their property. Could turn out for another bow hunting opportunity and for sure Wayne will use it for some of the gun seasons.

Gardening:
Got the lawn all mowed and garden picked yesterday. Now I have aerating and fertilizing to get done. A little rain tonight would help soften things up for doing this. Here's a link to the latest garden pictures. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=Jeff.Paavola&target=ALBUM&id=5386230146391409233&authkey=Gv1sRgCOXx4PC8pq-7yAE&feat=email Notice all the pumpkins out in the field. You also can see how well the food plot is shooting up.
