Today I had one of those runs when you remember just how fun running is.  I felt great and was having a good time doing it.  I did 16 miles on a very hilling course and just ran at a fun pace for the first 15, then dropped the last mile to mp and hit it at 6:40 on the nose.

Total run 16 miles  1:59:13  AP 7:27

Today is my 16th anniversary.  Doone and I are heading to Vegas tonight to go to the temple and then we are staying the night there.  Unless I'm able to sneak in a lunch time work out, I'll have do some exercise other than the conventional type for my PM work out.  :)

Happy anniversary to you and your wife. Have fun in Las Vegas. Were you married in the Vegas temple?

Happy anniversary!!! Have lots of fun.

Oh, I get it. 16 for 16. I could do that. Forget the birthday thing. Anniversaries are the way to go. Of course my next anniversary will be my 14th.

From MarcE on Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 23:55:12 from 206.225.68.25

Great run, Rhett! I hope you and Doone had a nice getaway in Vegas. Happy 16th anniversary!

Thanks everyone. We had a great time.

Mac, We were married in the Las Angeles temple.

Burt, I wish I were that clever. It just happened that I ran 16 miles on my 16th anniversary.

From Burt on Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 14:25:32 from 206.19.214.144

I was married in the Las Vegas temple. It's fun to tell people I got married in Vegas.

From Smooth on Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 17:25:02 from 174.23.217.47

Did you go back to Vegas for the Bowl game? It looked very windy and freezing cold.

From DonGardinero on Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 21:45:16 from 152.216.7.5

You takin' the week off from running? I'm going to try and get a run in tomorrow (Christmas eve). It's been a week since my last run.

From Kelli on Thu, Dec 24, 2009 at 00:18:53 from 71.219.95.151

Hope your Anniversary last week was good and fun! I have been married more years than you, WOW. That makes me feel kind of old when I think about all of those married years.

Have a very MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!!

From Rhett on Thu, Dec 24, 2009 at 11:06:01 from 74.32.214.224

Smooth, nope. I've done the Las Vegas Bowl 3 times and frozed every year. As I watched on TV I was so glad I was at home with a warm blanket on my couch.

Dale, I became very ill on Monday and have been recovering all week. I feel good today though.

Kelli, thanks, have a Merry Cristmas too.
