I love 3 day weekends. I love morning runs too but I'm just not that into 4 am morning runs which is pretty much what I have to do on weekdays to make my commute, drink the requisite amount of coffee, and be at work by 7.

 Fourteen miles in 1:47. Beautiful, but cold, morning and I got to "run the sun up" as Amby Burfoot likes to say. Knees a little more achy than I would have liked.

Potato pancakes and a glass of Muscle Milk after. I'm living right! 

I am second only to some guy named Jake K on the mileage board.

I came to your blog looking for some sort of historical fun fact for today, but only found potato pancakes :(

We have had only one president named Grover. But he was president twice.

Better?

Yup. Much better. Thanks!

Those ultra marathon guys are always dominating the mileage board.

Also guys who do tempo workouts on Monday.

Also James K. Polk is the best one term president evah!

Oh! Burn. :) (Haven't said that in a while)

I love when I go to China cause I have a whole day on everyone, it's easy to be the top of the leader board.
