5 miles today.  again goal was to get faster each mile.  also I am going to try to push myself more and more.  I've been really not trying as hard as I know I can.  I think I'll start training now and hope for a 10k pr for Save a Sister.

Oh my Gosh! I'd say you met your goal! Nice work.

I have been trying to run faster as well. If you want to push it one morning this week, I'll keep my jabber mouth to a minimum and we can run faster :)

ha ha I know what you mean. It's like you want to talk while you run, but if we run too hard we can't! This week tomorrow I probably can't run until 6:45-7ish, but Thurs & Friday I could do an early run w/ you and I know Lynsey has been wanting to do a speed run once or twice a week.

I just realized something. I am so much slower than you are. I'm certainly not as cool as you are. And I'm definitely not as good looking. I'm so far out of your league, it's not even funny. Yet I'm the only male on your favorite blog list. So guess what I realized? I'm the plucky comic relief! The token dorky kid everyone likes to laugh at. That's all I'm good for. Why didn't I see this before? You used me, Merri. You chewed me up and spit me out.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

where is this coming from Burt? :)

It was a moment of clarity.

Oh, I was just being jealous because I can't run a sub 7 on my fifth mile. Maybe some day...

Pent up anger
