I really tried to take it easy today.  I did fairly well until I turned around and hit the downhill mile.  Then my legs just wanted to keep going.  My total time was 44:16 for a pace of 7:22/mile.  Splits were 7:32, 7:30, 7:25, 7:17, 7:19, and 7:11.

It was nice to meet you and your wife at the Pachev's last night.

Thanks for coming and bringing Kathleen. Jakey had so much fun with you...that really was fun for me to watch because he is usually so shy. I guess he was high on strawberries or something...or maybe he just really likes you.

Kim - It was good to meet you too, and to meet some other bloggers. It's always good to have a face to go along with a name.

Sarah - Thank you! We had a good time. I was surprised about Jacob too. Usually he is pretty shy, but he had his foot stuck out there, and I grabbed his toes. Then he made a little game out of it and wanted me to keep doing it. He is so cute. We loved it when he wanted to brush his teeth and made the little teeth brushing motion.
