Seeking a better country...

Running around the westside at twilight.  My left calf is sore from sat.  I spring off that leg when I'm trying to go faster, but not all out.  Sometimes I stand up and almost fall down, until I remember.  It feels better this am.  I have sick kids at home today hugging the toilet seat.  Hopefully I can get them to puke before I go to work.

My daughter turned 7 today.  There is no one on the planet sweeter.  After we got the cake, chaser and presents done, I put her to bed and hopped on the TM.  I think this is the last tough workout before the marathon.  8 miles, 6 at 6:45.  

Following 1 mile of warmup, I did the 10k in  41 minutes even, while watching 24 and biggest loser.  Instead of a nice bowl of strawberry ice cream, I'm having wheat toast instead.  I should have stuck with 24.  Great after work day today.   

TM, 8:30 pace.  Arguably the best moment of all 8 "24" seasons came up on the run...when George takes over the plane and detonates the nuke.  There was a tear in my eye as the run finished.
