I am getting shape, I tell ya. I ran a local 8 kilometer race today, and I won it in 27:10. That is one of my faster times in many years over this distance, so things are definitely looking positive for my upcoming marathon in Las Vegas in 2 weeks!

:beer:

My wife is dressing up as Elvis for this marathon. Very cool. They are trying to break the world record in having the most "Elvises" run in a marathon. :Dude: Let's hope they break that record.

Going to work in the morning there are places that I can't drive 8K in 27:10. Congratulations on the win, and your hard work to earn it!:AOK:

Congratulations! I think I remember reading a while back you were having an achilles problem or something...I guess you've overcome that obstacle? :beer:

Thanks guys, yes some injuries are sometimes hovering over me, but so far I'm staying ahead of them... :beer: The achilles is fine for the moment.
