Thank goodness for Rattletrap.  This morning my Garmin didn't turn on.  I would have flipped out and probably released my aggression in the form of bruises on my kids' butts (totally kidding), if I hadn't read RT's blog yesterday.  He said he merely had to reset it.  I went on-line to see how to do it, and voila (that's French for voila) it was back on in seconds.  So I took about twenty minutes to clear out some of my history.  Then I set it to alert me every 8:10.  But when I took off, I felt really good.  I felt like I could maintain the pace I was at for the entire run.  Oh man, I just looked at the clock.  I'm going to be late for work.  Bye now!

Do not attempt to run 8 miles at 6pm when the only nourishment you've had in the day has been a slim fast, two glasses of water, 2 granola bars, and 2 pop tarts.  Just trust me on that. 

At about 2.75 miles this girl caught me.  She was pushing it pretty hard so I tried to keep up with her for a little bit and make small talk.  I should have tried the blade of grass trick on her, but I didn't think about it.

Beautiful morning to ride to work.  Nice and overcast.  Bit of a headwind when I turned west, but that helps to cool me down.
