Don't know what's gotten into me, but did another outside run early this morning.  I actually like running early Sundays down the middle of the street (13th West) because other days there are too many cars to do so.

 1) 8:21; 2) 7:37; 3) 7:34; 4) 7:22 5) 7:24; 6) 7:22 ; 7) 7:22 ; 8) 7:28; 9) 7:26; 10) 7:46; 11) 7:34; 12) 7:36; 13) 7:39; 14) 7:25; 15) 7:08; 16) 7:30; 17) 8:08; 18) 8:32; 19) 8:24; 20) 8:11; 20.25) 1:30 (6:00 pace just to finish).

Foot is holding up, so I was glad.  I wanted to be strong for miles 2 through 17, then had planned to let the pace fall a bit for a cool down.  I was glad because there was a bit of slight, but steady uphill but was more glad to stop having to fight the headwind on the way back.

By the way, I'm a big fan of So You Think You Can Dance and it is finals week.  I fear, however, that I would bust a move more like this:

You are going to smash PC!!! Way to go man!!!

That is my favorite show, seriously love it!!! I was SHOCKED this week with the male that went home. I picked him to win.

YES, that would hurt and you might look something like that, only taller! I would look far worse.

Nice 20 miler today down the middle of the road. Gotta love slow Utah traffic on Sunday, I am sure it is the only State that has that perk.

From Jon on Sun, Aug 02, 2009 at 18:30:43 from 75.169.136.216

Ouch. In every way, ouch.

From Andy on Mon, Aug 03, 2009 at 00:16:20 from 198.60.114.178

Way to crank out the miles. Soon you will bag the treadmill and run them all outside.

From Bec on Mon, Aug 03, 2009 at 11:27:00 from 67.177.35.60

That video clip hurts watching it. I can't believe that it's already the finale. I think I've watched it twice this season. Great miles by the way.

From jeffc on Mon, Aug 03, 2009 at 11:29:08 from 167.207.128.101

I read your blog quickly today because I couldn't watch that clip anymore...Ouch! Very nice long run and great finish!

From Rhett on Mon, Aug 03, 2009 at 13:00:54 from 74.41.249.102

Pual, you don't run outside. What are you doing? Just don't get any crazier and try that dance move while your doing your crazy outside running down the middle of the street. You may not have such a pretty mug anymore.

From Matt on Mon, Aug 03, 2009 at 13:17:26 from 65.121.71.253

Very impressive long run Paul. I hope the foot holds up because I think you are going to do something amazing.

From Mike Warren on Mon, Aug 03, 2009 at 13:34:20 from 207.50.149.221

Impressive run as usual! You are the man. Save some miles for the rest of us, lol.
