May 16 - Rest Day; May 17 - 5 Miles Ran, 2.5 Miles Sponsored

I took Thursday off but just finished a nice 5 mile run on the Pinebrook Loop today (Fri).  The weather is perfect, mid 60's with light winds.  My sister Beth McGuire chimed in with sponsorship of 2.5 miles--thanks Beth!.  I'll give you miles 525, 526 and half of 527 which I should get to tomorrow if I can squeeze in a run before Shea's 12th Birthday Sleepover Extravaganza.  I want to do a long run but I am worried that will result in late day nap which will result in me covered in silly string or worse.  We'll see.

I completed miles 520-524 today.  For those following Jason Lester's run across America for Chase and other causes (www.r-u-n.us), he just pulled ahead of me today.  Jason's covered 545 miles in 12 days whereas I've been at this since Jan. 1 (137 days)!  Pretty safe bet that it won't be much of a race from here (Jason's doing about 43 miles/day v. my 3.8).  It will be amazing to meet him when he arrives in Sandy Hook, probably sometime in mid to late July.
