I wanted to run an 11:25 in the middle 8 miles, and I only ran an 11:31.<br /><br />Plus I don't know how I managed it, but I ran 3 legs of the square into a 17 mph headwind! But mind you the lower left leg was with a nice tailwind. Had to stop for lights pretty much at ever 1/2 mile intersection ... that's what you get for running on a busy Saturday morning. <br /><br />Barb (@Still Running), I actually stopped at pizza pizza for a refreshing bathroom visit and a slice of deluxe.<br /><br />Every place on my route except city-run community centers or libraries says "For customers only - ask a staff member for the key". So the pizza slice was a necessity - I did not enjoy it one bit.<br /><br />Plus perhaps more good news ... I dropped below 250 lbs in my weigh-in after the run!Andrew Opalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840813324329773479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354270740210130211.post-49823732884631063852010-11-20T12:12:44.865-05:002010-11-20T12:12:44.865-05:00Hey Andrew, Hope it went well.
