Today was a beautiful morning for running. The shade and cool breeze made for a perfect 18 mile run. I tried to keep my pace at about 8 minute miles so I didn’t get too worn out. This is definitely the pace I will run if I decide to run a marathon. Science Friday had some interesting topics to entertain me during my run.

Congrats on a great run Bill! A nice pace over a long distance. The weather is certainly perfect. Go for the marathon. While I was running and biking today, I entertained the idea of doing the Reeds Lake Triathalon. (After 18 miles, do you really love the smell of running?)

Yeah the stink wasn’t pretty. Reeds Lake Trithalon seems interesting, but I definitely need to get some swimming in between now and then.

Wow… 18 miles is a long way! I’m impressed. I’m still hanging around the 4 to 5 mile mark. Oh well, one step at a time I suppose!

Wow. I’m envious of your 8 minute miles!
