Nice work again, Steven.

So you were in Strongsville and didn't let me know?  I could have set you up with a whole group to run with.....

I ran 4 miles today.  That's all.

And I'm good with that!

Actually, I'm glad I waited until today, because I've still got a few hot spots here and there from last Sunday.

I didn't know you were in that area.  Thought you were up more Cleveland way.  My time was really limited.  I only had a window between 9:30am - 12:30pm yesterday.  Little guy lost this morning so we drove home around 10am, and I did my long run here.  But --- had I realized it, I probably could have found time for an afternoon drink!!  Sorry Michele, my bad.

I am closer to Cleveland, but we ran in the Metropark near Berea - so we were about 10 min from Strongsville.  I actually run weekly with a women from there.  Nothing is too far for us on the west side - it's the east siders that never leave......
