I hadn't been thinking of it in those terms. I was looking for distance, not time. Thanks! I like that, Richard. I hadn’t been thinking of it in those terms. I was looking for distance, not time.

Sounds weird, but it worked for me today.

What a typo that is! I reread that entry and never saw it. Now that I think about it, I think I'll will keep the name. Chocolate milk with cinnamon = The Chocolate Mile! Yes, Susan, that's kinda wierd that our times are so close. Ofcourse, you were also sick so maybe that's why you were slowing down. :) All I need to do is bottle that virus and then spread it to the other runners a week before the race, and I'm all set!

Cool. And I'm with Susan on the chocolate mile. If there was one of those, I suspect that I would run muucchh slower (you know, to savor every step of the way.)

I want one of those! (Sorry, couldn't resist:)) Sounds like a good, strong run, Jon. I have the opposite problem--every time I speed up, I get out of breath. So I just keep plodding along where it feels comfortable. A chocolate mile???? I want one of those! (Sorry, couldn’t resist:)) Sounds like a good, strong run, Jon.
