This was pretty much the same as my run last Friday except I ran the backwards loop inside out.  And a little farther to get to seven and a quarter.  I saw my HPGL.  I wonder when he's going to assign me as a home teacher.

Splits - 7:50, 7:45, 7:41, 7:48, 7:56, 8:09, 8:17, 1:54 for 0.25 (7:42 pace)

Here you go Scott.

I wanted to get a long run in in the heat of the day for some last minute Ragnar training.  It was 4pm before I finally made it out.  I took 4 Orange Mango electrolyte strips that dissolve on your tongue.  I put a bottle of PowerAde in the back of my truck so I could drink it after the first loop.  I'm not promoting PowerAde.  There was just a better deal than Gatorade.  Then I ran 0.7 miles to Fry's Marketplace to take back the Red Box DVD's.  Date Night and Karate Kid.  They were both good. 

Then I continued on trying to push a good pace on that first loop.  I was trying to feed off the energy of Nan's awesome performance today.  But that was making me emotional, so it didn't help much.  I finished the first loop and drank my PowerAde.  Then I went out for my second loop nice and easy.

I felt pretty good.  I don't think I could run a marathon anytime soon, but I'm looking forward to upping my miles and maybe doing one next year.

Time - 1:26:55 (avg. pace 8:40)

Splits - 8:11, 8:17, 8:08, 8:19, 8:33, 8:49, 8:55, 9:07, 9:15, 9:07

I had some some P90X Recovery Drink when I was done, and I will promote that.  Order yours today. :)
