We did the Manhattan Beach 10k this year. My time was 1:13:56 clock, about 20-30 sec faster (off the top of my head) by my watch. I'm pleased overall. My right knee started aching the last mile. I've not yet downloaded the Polar data; it'll be interested to see my mile splits etc.

We're planning on doing the Long Beach Bike Tour (pre-marathon) next Sunday.

The house stuff is coming along. If all works out, the tenants will be out around Oct 27th; the seller has given us permission to start work on the floors early, so we're hoping to do so starting the 30th, enabling us to move in the weekend of Nov 4th/5th.
