If you've ever wondered how it is that Jun can climb mountains with the greatest of ease...

...it's because he has so much spring in his legs.

Here's a picture of RAD and Toby.  RAD was scheduled to be induced Tuesday.  I haven't heard anything yet other than it was a little boy.  Strange when you don't hear from RAD.  That girl never stops talking.

This morning I felt like doing a fast mile.  I wasn't sure how it would work out, but I felt pretty good.  Let me take that back.  It was hard, but I'm good with the time.

Splits - 8:25, 6:41, 8:52

Now if I can just string 26 6:41's together...

I wanted to run double digits today, but I got up way too late.  I was going to get up at 5am, but at 4am I heard my dog barking.  I got up and saw she had no water.  Anyway, I knew I didn't want to get up in one more hour, so I slept in.  I finished my run at noon and it was 101 degrees out.  I ran along the Consolidated Canal.  Saw a bunch of big fish in the canal.  I took a GU chomp every 2 miles.  After 4 miles I decided it was time to turn around.  Now the wonderful headwind that was keeping me cool was no longer there, and guess what.  It was hot!  Luckily, I wasn't too far from Freestone Park, so I finished off my water and refilled.  Then I went the rest of the way home stopping occasionaly to cross the street and once under the US60 underpass because of the wonderful shaded relief.

Time - 1:15:30 (avg. pace 9:26)

Splits - 9:14, 9:23, 9:37, 9:43, 9:23, 9:34, 9:35, 9:03
