I had a GREAT run today at lunch. It was slow slow slow but it was also the farthest I’ve run since December – a full 8k/5 miles.

And what a glorious day it was out there.

I feel FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now if I could only duck out of work and have myself a cold bottle of beer I’d have myself a perfect day. :)

Congratulations, Mark. And I know exactly how you feel – I was there in August. You’ll get that distance back and then some before you know it.

Most excellent. I had a wonderful run today too. Only 7 miles but the distance, pace, and weather felt perfect. Woohoo!

Good job, Mark. Um, but you know, coming back from lunch all sweaty and smelling like beer is waaaaay uncool. ;)

Oh that beer sounds like it was a thirst quencher of major proportions. You’re coming back! Keep up the good work.

You could always carry your booze in a water bottle with you at work. I had a co-worker who did that – oh wait! Bad idea, she was suspended and forced into a “program”.
