I ran an extended Tri-City loop again this morning, 8.1 miles @ 9:25/mi. The pace was easy, but my effort to hold the easy pace was not all that easy. I think yesterday's run with Tom and Will took a little more out of my legs than I thought. I think the temperature being in the low 20's made me a little slower as well. Nevertheless, every run is a great run. (Do I have to pay Tom a royalty every time I say that?)

Paul for all of your efforts over the years and especially the last while giving me sound running and life advice I grant you an exclusive royalty-free license to use my blog tag-line as often as you'd like :)

Just for kicks I googled "every run is a great run". Surprisingly, there were only six matches, three of which were on tom.fastrunningblog.com. Two of the others attributed the quote to Sasha...Azevedo not Pachev. Apparently Sasha Azevedo is an american actress, athlete, and model. So are you quoting her or is she quoting you? :)

Miss Azevedo said it first. A couple of months ago or so when I was trying to come up with a new blog title I found a website with various running related quotes including this one. It seemed to fit my general feelings toward running so I borrowed it.
