Total Distance
7.37

Usery Pass.  I invited both of my Ragnar teams to join me.  Nobody came.  Typical.  I haven't even run half the distance lately, not to mention they've all been dead flat.  I wondered how I'd do.  For that reason, I was glad nobody showed up.  As I was driving down the road I realized I forgot my water.  Oh well.

I saw quite a few runners on the Bush Highway on the way up there.  Maybe they're gearing up for SGM next week.  There were tons of cyclists.  I didn't feel like counting them, not that I could have even if I tried.  But I made sure to say good morning to all of them.

I heard my pace from my pocket after the first mile.  I thought, "Hey, that's not too bad."  But I told myself that the 2nd mile is always the slowest.  Yeah, that 2nd mile was really slow, but I felt good.  After 2.5 miles the hill is not as steep, so it gets easier.  I kept trudging up the mountain until I got to the top occasionally talking to myself as a biker would sneak up behind me.  I think with the wind at my back, they couldn't hear me.

You are going to make me think you're human. Almost.

Hi Nan!

I should have known you were the one holding me back all this time!

From Tara on Sun, Sep 29, 2013 at 17:50:03 from 174.253.176.126

Oh, I was thinking of Snoop Dogg.....him or Topher Grace. I get them mixed up.

Also, you know you are the only one who can hold yourself back!
