Happy Hollow to the Celery Bog and around campus - 13 mile, averaged 7:48

Planned on 6-8, but then I started exploring and really had fun. Until I got back into Lafayette and biffed it in a parking lot. My ninja skills allowed me to roll out of it, keep running, and hit the last uphill mile at marathon pace (6:54). Little bit of blood, lot a bit of wounded pride.

I have personal knowledge of the tripping hazards of running in Indiana :) - well done Ninja.

Nice job on the tuck and roll. When I fall, it's more like Peter Griffin than a ninja.

I doubt it looked as graceful as it felt. I now think I made a few "ahh, ahhs" but not as many as Peter.
