Paula Radcliffe

I had a long day at the office today, so when I got home, I just put on the sweatpants, and sprinted around the block a few times till my Nike+ told me I had gone a little over a mile.  At the end of the run, a European female voice came on and congratulated me for achieving my personal best time for a mile.  Turns out it was Paula Radcliffe, and she just wanted to hack into my iPhone and tell me how awesome I was.

I wonder why she didn't call to say anything yesterday when Nike+ said I ran a 6:45 minute mile?  If you look at yesterday's graph, it shows a real drastic up and down pace, but I stayed pretty steady the whole time.  I think I should probably start using gmap pedometer to calibrate each run to make sure I'm not "cheating" myself.

Oh well, thanks anyway Paula!

Its amazing the difference two months makes.  In a few weeks I'll be back to normal.  Now its labored breathing, burning lungs, singing knees, and constant phlegm buildup!

I always wondered why people spit when they run.  Now I know.  Heavy mouth breathing leads to phlegm buildup, which leads to gagging amounts of mucus, till I either spit or choke.

Hows that for the joy of running?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gateway to nowhere

I havent run at all since the last post.  Ironically, I've lost over 14 pounds since then!  I think its a combination of pressure at work, and the Grapefruit Diet.

I think after the race I just pooped out cause that was the goal I had set, and I failed to set another one for myself.

I'm getting that urge again though, so maybe this time I'll try setting a goal that is a bit further reaching.
