AM- Long run with Paul.  Slept in a bit (till 6:30, I think) which was glorious.  Ran to Paul's, then we ran a leisurely pace to the canal and up the canyon to just short of Guinavah Malibu.  Weather was very nice, and I really liked my new arm warmers and handheld water bottle from SGRC- thanks, Steve!  We blabbed at each other the whole time, mainly running related with a few random topics thrown in the mix.  After a few faster long runs, it was nice to be a bit easier on this one- 7:54/mi to the turnaround, 7:42 avg on the way back (though we did a few sub-7 on the downhill before slowing as we tired out).  22 miles, 2:51:37 total.

So when you say handheald is it the kind that straps to you hand and is around a 16 oz size. I've got to find something I like for Squaw. So far I really don't like anything. The Nathen pack works really good but I still don't feel racey at all when wearing it. I may go get one of those Nathen belts that carry one bottle of around 20 oz. This is much harder than just packing two gu's and maybe some shades.

Yes, a handheld 20 oz with strap. Amphipod, from the Running Center. I have a waist pack but don't like it for long distances cause it starts upsetting my intestines. I have 2 camelbacks, but they are too big for a race. I think I'll do 1-2 handhelds for my long races.

Hey Jon, did you know I ran the 2007 freedom run with you and Cody?

So I was a few minutes behind you guys, and you never actually saw me back there- but I did the math- and with my age and weight handicap I beat you both handily!
