Another Shirt Run completed!

We ran another Shirt Run yesterday with the MTC. There were over 70 runners that showed up, 27 of them "new" members. It was 34 degrees at the start and warmed up to the mid 40s by the time we were done. It's pretty hilly and all on the roads so I was a little stiff when I work up this morning. I set out to the reservoir to run another 3 hour loop but my legs were dead and I ended up bagging it! Frank got his 3 hour in so he's doing well and should have a great time at Rocky next week. I'm going to run at the club tomorrow and hopefully will get 10 easy ones in. I'm getting so I prefer to run on the treadmill. Who would have thought that? Yesterday I ended up running the entire 15 miles alone again so that was a bummer although I really don't like to talk anyway so it was probably just as well. I thought I would be last again but I ended up passing about 8 people towards the end so that helped justify my theory of starting out slow and just maintaining an even pace. I almost caught Marie which would have been great as she as told me she's run with me but then got caught up in the "race" of it and took off. She finished about a minute in front of me; I should have really kicked in at the end and passed her! Next run!
The rest of the day was pretty quiet. I spent some time on the internet shopping and checking out some trails around here to add to our running options and then we went out to lunch. It ended up being a beautiful day after a cool start this morning and it got in the 50s and was very sunny. I'm getting pretty spoiled here!
Oh I almost forgot. I have been approved by the State of NC and have received me license to practice massage. I called a Spa that my hairdresser had told me about to inquire about part-time work. I have an interview this week! I tried to schedule a massage there and couldn't even get an appointment until mid-March so they need my help! I could be working again be next week! (not until after Texas) I'm very psyched about that! Some extra cash would be great plus it would be great to meet more people!
