Sweet Sweet Nuts

M stocked me up on my favorite snacks last night. All the different
flavors are good but Blue Diamond just came out with the salt and
vinegar, which are now my favorite. We cannot find that flavor very
often so when she does she buys them all.
It's the small things that make people happy.

The Spa is now open

Thanks to Karen and Scott at Pool Care Products for fixing my pump and
getting me what I needed to start up this old piece of $&@/ hot tub.
There are still a few little issues to work out but it works. Actually
the heater works really well, myself and the kids got in last night
and it was a little to warm (106). M would not let the kids stay in
for more than a couple minutes, something about not wanting to cook
thier little brains. Its kinda weird because she let me stay in for
hours. So adjusted the temp and tried it again this morning, much
better.

Cable Bridge Run

Yesterday I ran in the Cable Bridge Run. It was alot warmer and less icy than last year. Lots of people ran again this year. There was a 1 mile, 5k and a 10k. There were nearly 400 people who ran the 10k. I ended up 28th overall and 4th out of 48 for age group (40-49). I ended up running and asterisk personal best. I ran a 38:58, my previous best is a 39:42. I am giving it an asterisk because my watch showed the course a little short. Also, I don't feel that I ran very well. At mile 1ish, I was already dead. My heart rate was already 190 bpm, and I had 5 more miles to go. I just kinda held on most of the run. At the end I did manage to run down and pass one of the ladies who were in front of me. But ended up being "chicked" by two.........

Here is a link to the 10k results:
