Obsessive 21

Hi Peeps
Gotta make this quick as the Men from Thunder Down Under are expecting me in a few hours. (God, save me).

So you might be wondering how that little 21 miler went this morning.
Let me just recommend out there to anyone who is considering taking up running - LEARN TO PRAY PEOPLE.

I had 2 goals this morning:
1. Not to chip the French Pedicure I got yesterday.
2. Keep it a sub-9 min/miles

I think I was a little obsessed with #2 on the list because I was glancing at Big G every 10 seconds. But it worked.

21 miles = 3:03:30 (you think I should bet on 3 in Vegas???)
That's 8:44 min/mile average!!!!!!

I just spent 20 mins trying to download a pic of Big G from my cell to no avail. Now I'm running late.

Have a great weekend.

    That's awesome! I don't know how you fit it all in. You must either, a) not work on Fridays or b) have a very flexible schedule---either way I'm envious! Have fun in Vegas...say hello to some Thunda for me =).

    Wow, 21 miles in 3 hours. They say the time you take to run 22 miles in a training run is equivalent to the time you can run a marathon after you taper three weeks.

    You've got Boston written all over you!
