Good day all. I had time to drop in from around the world.

Yesterday I did 8 on the TM @ 7:40 pace.
Today, 11 on the TM @ 7:49 pace followed by 7 on the stationery bike in 20 min. Total of 2 hours of cardio.

Wish I had time to comment on everyone, but no such luck. Hope all are well.

Keep on running.

Will check in again when I get a chance.

Yeah, Newport is nice. This is in the Puget Sound - not the ocean though, so it's much more quiet, and not as "touristy"!

Hello everyone....bragging post for me today.

I have a race tomorrow morning so no 14 mile run for me tomorrow. I didn't really want to run my full 14 today either due to the race in the morning. But I had to do something.

I went out (72 degrees, sun, slight SE breeze) and just race...figured I'd go to my 4 mile turn around, then 5, then 6, then 8....turned around at 8, but didn't come home the normal way, ended up adding another 0.7 miles to my route.

Total today, 8.71 miles...nice and easy is how it felt, but pace was right on for where I want to be (9:25ish pace)...and I feel stupendous!

Now, the other bragging part...tomorrow's race is down at Comiskey (well, US Cellular Field...where the CHICAGO WHITE SOX play.) What's really cool, I got to go onto the field yesterday...was given 2 tickets to do some on field "practice".

So, because I have the pics....here's me in the dugout


and one of me out on the field


So I hope to get some more shots on the field tomorrow.

And last but not least...for all you Simpsons fans, in Chicago, there is 1 7-11 that was turned into a .....


...kwik e mart...so I thought I'd share it with you all.

Have a fantastic weekend!
