Bwahahahaha! Actually, it was 11.09 miles on my Garmin. Damn, I should have run just a few feet further. Tongue

Nice tribute Kirsten - did you run at 11am? When I lived in Canada we would wear poppies for Remembrance (Veteran's) Day - do people do that here or is it just in the Commonwealth counties?

Nah, I couldn't get motivated until after lunch...I was waiting for the predicted sun to show--it's still completely overcast. As for the pace...I was shooting for anything between 11-11:30, it was just funny when I hooked my Garmin up to Motion Based and that's what it posted. I remember seeing the poppy pins when I was a kid, but I haven't really seen those in years. I had forgotten about those until you mentioned it, but my grandpa always had one pinned to his car visor.

If you missed it, you can try running 11.11 miles on 11/11/11 in three years. Personally, I'd rather run 11.11 miles in 1:11:11 than at 11:11 pace.

There was a tornado that hit my hometown at 11:11pm on Nov. 11, 1911.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
