| | I finally took Vinh's and Lyman's advice and went for a nice slow run. (Sorry for those of you I just offended for saying 9:25 pace is slow.) It was really nice out. I thought for sure it was going to rain because I washed three vehicles yesterday. I got about half a mile into the run and tried to pass some egg nog, but when the prarie dog started poking its head out, I immediately stomped on the brakes on that idea. That would have to happen to me on the day I decide to go real slow. It made the last two miles brutal. Even with the slow pace I saw someone way up on the sidewalk walking along. I figured I might pass them so I was playing out the scenario in my head on how I would have to say, "On your left." Just then I heard, "On your right." I knew who it was. It was On-Your-Right-Bicycle-Girl again. I wonder where she goes. She always has this yellow back pack on, and she just pedals on down Rittenhouse Road. Anyway I said good morning to her and told her it was nice to see her again. I'm sure she has a pet name for me, too. Time - 52:42 (avg. pace 9:25) Splits - 9:27, 9:21, 9:18, 9:25, 9:34, 5:39 for 0.60 (9:26 pace) Here's a couple more pictures from last week's marathon: This is my Derek Zoolander Blue Steel pose. Gary and Sandy (not necessarily in that order.) They can't take a bad picture. This is at the Hoover Dam. I can't believe how much the water level has gone down. I remember when the water surface was up to that second tier beneath that bridge. It's kind of scary actually.
