Got up at 5a.m. and got a good run in this morning. Maybe the best workout I get all week. We are flying to St.Louis and driving to Nauvoo, IL today for the week.

The run went pretty good. I woke up this morning after having a dream that I took a wrong turn in a half marathon that I was winning. It took me out of the race...Scarry dream. So I got up and ran pretty hard thinking about how I would break the tape if I were really winning a half or whole marathon.

For me this has actually happened before, and in a very interesting situation. It was in the pre 9/11 days, and I was still not a US citizen. I was in the lead of a half-marathon on the Hill Airforce Base, and I missed the turn. Shortly I saw some hangars and lots of equipment, so I figured out I was lost, so I just ran to the finish the way I intuitively felt would get me there. How about that - a Russian spy lost on an American air force base?

I ended up adding about 0.2 of a mile or so, but still won the race. Who knows - that distance might have needed a 0.2 mile addition anyway - my time was 1:16, and it felt like I had really run a 1:16.
