Personal:

I'm married to Nan Kennard and she kicks my butt at running.  She has beat me handily in every race we have done together except for a downhill mile we did once.  She is my running inspiration.  I'd like to run a marathon with her someday and actually keep up.

6.15 Miles - 54:38 - 8:53/mile - HR: 134 - 650ft. elevation gain/loss.

That was a nice easy run again today.  My legs feel fine.  My right glut is feeling better, still some residual minor soreness, and I noticed my right hip/butt feeling slight tiredness at one point in the run, but no pain.  I secretly want to get up early and go run for 4 hours just because (ok I guess its not secret anymore, ok jun, you're giving me the bug), but I'm restraining myself on account of...well...prudence I guess.

I was listening to "The Revolution" by Ron Paul for the 2nd time on my run this morning.  I highly recommend reading it for a fresh perspective that doesn't get much attention unfortunately.

Ha. Glad you had a good day. You are definitely going about healing the right way. Enjoy your weekend.

Good to see you getting over your injuries. I just watched an interview with Ron Paul on CNN and I really like a lot of the things he says. I don't agree with everything, but I wish more politicians were like him. You can tell he really does what he thinks is best for the country, and he isn't s sell out to the special interests like most of them are.

Nice job and nice blogging. I'm enjoying my VFF. Hope they help with my tendonitis.

Keep up the healing. When's the 30 miler going to be?
