Ran 8 miles in 56:58. Probably the fastest I've run 8 so far. Kira and I got to talk between taking major breaths. She's a good friend- and about 1/2 inch taller than me. Can you believe it?

Worked on the elipitcal for 15 minutes as well. Worked on abs. Am here at home listening to John Mayer's song "edge of desire". I'm lifting my free weights right now. Next is some pilates core work and I know it's going to hurt. Beautiful day today! I think I'll go for a run this afternoon. I'm going to register for my fav race (speedy spaniard).  My goal this year for that is to NOT sprain my ankle or any other injury two days before- and totally beat last years time. I know I can do it...

 This is great, I just found this picture on my friends blog. The road that runs along those tall skinny trees is part of the speedy spaniard route. It's so beautiful. Here in the SF we call it "tree road". I spent tons of time down here getting into teen trouble and such. Burt, come run the speedy with Merri Lyns and I!

You were a teen trouble maker??? I don't believe it. When is the Speedy Spaniard? I'll think about it.

Hey, I didn't get to watch that video of Nie because I can't watch YouTube videos at work. I went to watch it this morning and it was gone. :(

That's a fast eight. Nice running.

Thank you Calvin!

That road has had more car races on it than any race track in the U.S. Not that I ever did...??? but I am just saying. Those trees use to be a lot taller, but then they all died and now they are growing back. Great 8 today btw!

Tyler I knew you had some stories of tree road! LOL Of course Kellie probably does too. This road is famous! I miss those big tall trees. I had a friend that took me down there and said ok I'm going to just drive and you count the trees....so I started counting and then she sped up! LOL! I don't know how many trees there are but I was sure a sucker. I'm sure we'll pass you on the 'speedy route' this summer again! :)

That is a very fast 8 miles. Very nice. Abs, elliptical and weights? Wow, you're on one today. Have you stopped working out yet? :) (manly smile).

I saw a lady at the gym the other day wearing a Speedy Spaniard shirt. I would run it, but I am just not speedy.

From Lily on Wed, May 05, 2010 at 16:03:32 from 67.199.181.73

You don't have to be super fast to run the speedy. You could totally do it. You have a great pace :)
