20.0 miles on the treadmill this afternoon.  First hour was a little tough to sort out mentally - but once I found a groove the run was good.  Was a guy in the gym who was a Hulk Hogan look-alike complete with the headband and blonde mustache - not quite as fit.  Some of you may know that Hogan had a home in Clearwater for years (he may still)...but this wasn't him.  Anyway, did the last 2 miles in 13 mins.

I was gonna say, are you sure it wasn't the hulkster? But then I read the end of your post.

"ddcanops" has you by .07 on the mileage board. Who enters hundredths of a mile?

Go run across your street and back and adjust your mileage.

Ha! - Very precise on this blog.

The Hulkster remains a Clearwater dude - Mom and Dad saw him in Best Buy a couple weeks ago. They (and a few others) gawked at him all the way to his bright yellow and red pickup truck.

Congrats on completing what I can only imagine as complete torture on a treadmill, but thats probably just me.
