Then later, a race. This race reminded me that if I want to run fast, I have to, you know, run.

But one thing I am proud of: I was only passed twice. Once was by a girl that passed me at about 2.5 miles. I had passed her at just before two, so that one was no good. But a high school freshman (boy) passed me with about 1/4 mile left. And I ended up out kicking him in the end. He probably would have beat me if some guy hadn't tried to pass me really close to the finish. I held him off and in the process, passed the kid.

So yeah, I should run more.

What an outrage that you have to run a lot to race fast. My strategy lately is out the window, I guess.

Hey, good work at the end. Was the kid from your school? Pretty cool.

I think you'll find that you'll be able to run fast on limited running if you keep doing P90X. It's like Tony says. Keep pushing play.

Thanks guys. Joe, the kid isn't going to my school, but I know his family pretty well. I kinda felt bad about beating him.

April, I'm not usually mentally tough when it comes to racing. But lately I've been making more of an effort on that end.

Burt, you've said that before, but I'm not sure I believe you. Or I guess I need more direction. I'm hitting the p90x every day, feeling good about it, but I can't seem to make time (for many reason) for regular running. What was your routine for running while you were doing it? What year was it? 2010?

Yep. 2010. I need to do it again.
