I just shaved off 10 minutes of my Boston qualify time just by waking up this morning:-) Hint, hint!!! I ran out to the old BYU farm and then headed back for home, my legs felt pretty hammered so I went pretty slow... My average pace was 9:10 and my heart rate was 138, total time was 1:04:46, I also did my standard lower body strength training for my legs and also my core training. I thought to do what Superfly did for his special occasion but being as I'm 45 I don't think that running a mile for everyday that I have been alive was going to happen... I mean, maybe I will get 45 miles in this week but that's the best I can do, ya know I felt old and tired today, usually I wouldn't admit that but I kind of feel that way today:-( But hey life goes on and all you can do is keep pushing forward and hope for the best and give it your all!

See ya tomorrow.

Happy birthday, Clay. I noticed the same thing will happen to me this year. Yay for more time for us non-elite FRB'ers! As for not running 45 miles today, what's the matter with you?! Come on, off your duff and get going! Maybe you'll be done with your 45-miler by the time you have to go to bed! he he
