Holy COW! What a run! I think my legs are BACK! Awesome run two days post marathon. Ran six miles to Mukilteo and down Harbor Point Blvd. Beautiful out there with the trees just beginning to turn. First mile wasn’t spectacular…10:03 (so a typical pace for me). Second mile I was shocked to see a 9:38. I wasn’t pushing it, so it surprised me. Pushed it next mile, lots of hills, do a 9:40. Managed another 9:38, then a 9:36, and my last mile…9:11. I haven’t run this fast in a six miler in AGES! Fast is relative and for me, that’s fast! AWESOME! Why can’t every run be so great? I think it might have been because I was listening to "Born to Run" and man oh man does that book motivate me.

Now I’m sitting here with sweat POURING down my back (it’s about 75 out there) and glowing from my run. Do you know how hard it is to put leather pants on when you’re sweaty! Roy’s going to pick me up in a few and we’re heading to the P!nk concert! I’m rockin’ the black leather pants I wore on the Today Show, silver sparkle Converse, a black tank, and a shiny black shirt I refer to as my "Peter Allen Disco Shirt" ™. You know black is this year’s pink.

Run on peeps!
