Wanted to get in some decent miles to start, but I was feeling tired after 10k (fighting a bit of a cold as is my family) so I just kicked it back realizing I wanted to run about 3 hours, so I figured 23 would do (prior to the run I was going to do 24 but thought I better cut it a bit shorter).  I hate headwinds, I know it is partly just a mental thing.

 1) 6:50 (don't know why I started so fast up the very steep hill out of my street); 2) 6:34; 3) 6:41; 4) 6:47 5) 6:50; 6) 6:55; 7) 7:13 from here I diverted off of 1300 W. down to the JRP; 8) 7:40; 9) 7:38; 10) 7:33; 11) 8:04; 12) 7:29; 13) 7:50; 14) 7:47; 15) 7:41; 16) 8:12 up Winchester back to 1300 W.; 17) 7:52 major headwind from hear all the way home; 18) 7:59; 19) 8:29; 20) 8:59 uphill and extra-terrible headwind; 21) 7:57; 22) 8:39 including drink; 23) 7:08 finally decided to kick it in gear after slow first 1/3 of this mile.   2:54:58  avg 7:36, avg HR 151.

Now I need to cook dinner.

Wow, super lunch. Just got hungry looking at your pics...wow.

WOW!!! I am impressed...the stuffed pizza burger, that is! Did you get a building permit for that? WOW!!! LOVE the step by step instructions with vivid pics. I can almost taste the dripping grease! WOW!!!

Sorry to hear that you are fighting off a cold! I'm sure that healthy dinner will boost your immune system some! :)

Take care.

Killer run. How can you be fighting a cold and still run that type of pace for that long??? Wicked fast!!!

Hey Smooth ... maybe we should try this recipe before SGM??? What do you think??? NOT!!!

delicious! if you are interested, there are many more of these gems at http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/

I better hide that dinner option from my husband he would love it! I wonder how many miles you would have to run just to burn off a bite of that!

From Andy on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 11:43:00 from 159.212.71.69

Great run. Are you running TOU or are you actually going to have a real taper going into SGM?

From RivertonPaul on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 11:44:31 from 67.42.27.114

Andy, no TOU for me this year. I don't quite know exactly how I will taper is, but hopefully will stay healthy now.

O.M.G. Paul....I just gained 5 pounds just looking at the pictures!!!

From Matt on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 14:09:57 from 65.121.71.253

I won't look for you at TOU I think you are smart to skip it all things considered. If I wasn't obligated to my wife I might have tried to back out. I feel alot better about you SG sub 3 chances then mine. I keep think I am going to come up a about 50 seconds short, but I am thinking weather and injury and other things considered your going to hit 2:56. Get some rest, ice up, and do a good taper

Love the burger. Slightly pink mmmmmmmmm 18 more days and I am going to get one. I had to check out Allie's http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ web site it is pretty sweet.

I can feel my arteries hardening just looking at that!

From Kelli on Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 21:52:51 from 71.219.96.151

Sad thing is that it really looks good!!! I wonder how many weight watchers points are in a slice???
