    For those of you who are new, this is the 40/40 thread, for people who are over 40 years old who run 40 miles/week or more. We give Free Passes to those who come really close or try really hard...

     

    Here’s what I have for last week’s tally.

              Hey Sub--I just noticed you did the half, today.  Was it slick as grease, out there?  Nice time.

                Hey Sub--I just noticed you did the half, today.  Was it slick as grease, out there?  Nice time.

                It wasn't too bad. I was concerned going down the really steep hill at the start, but it was fine. I jogged for over a mile, then settled in close to goal MP, and it felt comfortably hard. I caught up to a Northstar runner around mile 7 or 8, and we ran and chatted the rest of the way. Saw a bunch of people I know, including my brother and a few former work colleagues. Great day to run outside ... in shorts!
