AM - 4 miles w/ Roo.

PM - 4 miles w/ Andrea. We decided to run a mile hard on the tempo loop for our WOD, and somehow I pulled off a 4:47, in trainers and long shorts. I thought I might be able to break 5, but this surprised me. That's probably the fastest single mile I've run in at least two years. I don't want to jinx myself, but lately I have been feeling a lot better.

I can't say I'm that surprised.

i love those subtlelinks -- they're like advent calendars. i guessed it was going to be a picture of your modestshorts.

Those look like capri pants.

Fortunately I was in SLC yesterday and snapped this photo right after his run/

I just bought a pair of Velcro trainers so I could also run a 4:47.

dang it... letting Elle join the blog was a questionable decision.

I could never have denim shorts that long, because the first thing I would do is take out my scissors and cut them off to make an inseam that is slightly above the inner pocket liner (the way all jean shorts are meant to be worn).

I forsee all sorts of SlowJoe/FastElle comments mixups if you two are using the same computer. Rob knows what I'm talking about, he comments as Abby from time to time.

Good to know you have some juice. Maybe time to start racing? If you do not want to go all out you can at least pace me...

Thanks Sasha. I don't plan on racing anymore this year (with the exception of a family turkey trot). I don't really want to rush back into things. I'm thrilled that I feel good again, can spend fall weekends running with Andrea, and throw in some token faster running for fun.

I want a great ski season before I reevaluate lacing up the flats :-)
