This and That

For anyone even remotely interested in football (that would be me), it sure was a great football weekend. Especially if you're a Seattle and Denver fan (like the residents of my house).

Time to restart the count. I must say, I, too, was wishing for just a few drops yesterday.

At least I took advantage of a dry and occasionally sunny day to get in my longest run since Portland: 14 miles. While my knee started really hurting around mile 10, after stopping and stretching the pain eased, and my sciatic nerve thing that I've been feeling lately didn't feel too bad. I finished the run at a 9 minute mile pace overall. That's my goal pace for Boston: stay slow, and just try to come in under 4 hours.

For those who actually have a holiday today (I'm off to Federal Way for "Diversity Day" with my youth program), enjoy!
