Total Distance
4.00

Four on the treadmill, pace from 8:15 to 7:30, gradually increasing. About 31 minutes of very controlled, even running. Tomorrow I'm running a 10k, but it's mostly just an excuse to get some uptempo miles. I'm not in true race shape, but I hope to get an idea of what kind of capacity I have right now. Under 40 minutes I'll be pleased. The rest of the state will be pleased if the Seahawks win.

Are you becoming a Seahawks fan? If so, your friendship with Paul may be in trouble...

From Paul Petersen on Fri, Jan 11, 2008 at 12:04:21

I don't mind the Seahawks. It's the Cowboys or the Patriots that get me riled up.

We'll see if he says that even if the Hawks beat the Packers tomorrow.

I'll bet some hapless Packerite a-- what do you call it?-- bruger. Any takers?

Come on, high steaks gambling. You gotta love it.

Mmmm...high steaks...

If the Hawks win tomorrow, I only get to eat 2 brurgers in Moab. If the Pack win, I get to talk about incessantly and post amusing photoshopped pictures of Vince Lombardi riding pig and Mike Holmgren as a penguin.

Looking at Holmgren, you'd barely have to photoshop him.
