We got a little rain yesterday and last night.  You'd think that would cool us down big time.  But I still went out in just a body armor shirt and a tank top.  Well, that's not all I was wearing, but you know what I mean.  I enjoyed the nice damp smell in the air, except when I run by these certain bushes that smell like urine when they get wet.

I started watching the movie Australia over the holiday weekend.  When I saw that it was almost three hours long I almost passed a bowel movement with mortar.  But I loved it.  One of the best movies I've ever seen.

Time - 48:32 (avg. pace 8:38)

Splits - 8:34, 8:32, 8:26. 8:45, 8:50, 5:25 for 0.62 (8:45 pace)

Today's run was horrible.  Why can't I learn to go before I go?  I seriously thought about stopping at Wal Mart, and I totally should have.  I was cruising along trying to find that perfect rhythm where I could relax all my muscles except for a certain few.  Then when I reached mile 5 I had the brilliant idea to speed up so I could get home faster.  That loosened a certain muscle group I had been concentrating on, which then lead me to having to come to a complete stop and regain my composure.  Too much egg nog.

Time - 45:32 (avg. pace 8:15)

Splits - 8:18, 8:06, 8:19, 8:22, 8:16, 4:11 for 0.53 (7:57 avg.)

I was not about to run 36 miles today.  Can anyone think of why that thought would even go through my mind?  But I did run 3.6 miles with a fast one thrown in the middle.  I saw RUN2DAY backing out of his driveway only he wasn't driving his RUN2DAY car.  He was driving his LONGRUN car.  I waved at him when he passed me and he honked really loud twice.  I'm pretty sure he woke everyone in the neighborhood up.

Time - 27:53 (avg. pace 7:45)

Splits - 7:45, 6:58, 8:14, 4:58 for 0.60 (8:17 pace)
