Race on the Base, Los Alamitos, CA
I went with my running friend, Jim, to run the annual "Race on the Base" event at the Los Alamitos military base early this morning. Weather was around 50 degrees with light clouds. Great race conditions. I finished the 5k run around 19:41 and placed 4th in the 40-45 age group and about 25th overall. I was about 10 seconds slower than my time last year at this same race :( Then we ran the 10k about 30 mins later. I finished the 10k around 42:05 which is a PR for me! I am very pleased with my finish times today considering that I haven't raced any 5k's or 10k's for the last 8 months. Time to start adding in some speedwork into my training!

Busy Sunday!
Today certainly was a BUSY day. We spent all day starting around 11:30am shuttling the girls back and forth to the Irvine Barclay theater at UCI for a Chinese New Years performance. Jody and Jamie both performed with their Chinese classes from the Irvine Chinese school. They didn't get home until about 9pm. What a day! Here's 2 pictures of Jody and Jamie when they got home.

Rain storm passing through Irvine
- It's been raining on and off all weekend, including today. I know the local mountains are getting lots of snow. I would love to take my girls up to the mountains to play in the snow, if I could get away from work. Just wishful thinking I guess. Then again, the girls have school too so they can't get away either.
- I was also excused from Jury Duty today. I was there for 2 days last week, and we all had thought this civil case involving Real Estate was going to last through this Wednesday. It's my first time ever being on a jury. Fortunately, both parties decided to settle this case early and not waste anymore taxpayer dollars. I was glad to be done.
- Christine started coming down with a cold/flu last night. We had heard that another round of flu was going around the school the past 2 weeks. Since Christine volunteers at the elementary school, she is certain to catch it eventually. She took an Advil tablet and went to bed early last night. Today, she said she was feeling ok during the day but started to feel the onset of the typical flu symptoms coming this afternoon. Now, she's back in bed, trying to rest up and recover quickly. As for me, my throat started hurting a little last night and now my nose is running. Oh, oh....
-FORTUNATELY, the girls are all fine :)
