Good luck this weekend!
I could so run 27.79 mph if I wasn't injured.
Good luck this weekend. You are going to kill it. In a good way.
The pace decrease fact is one I need to remember. As the weather cools off, my pace should "automagically" increase!
Gatorade makes me barf so therefore it makes me go zero miles per gallon.
Hoping for a PR Sunday, don't let me down there!!
Good Luck on your 10K!!
Number of Andrew's that are going to rock their race Sunday = 1
percentage sure I want Canadian's on my side = 100% [awesome video, loved that. Largest oil producer to USA?! loved all the random facts!!]
Have a great race and don't go on any away missions dressed in a red uniform. :)
Hope it is not too hot.
D'oh! I'm sorry for leaving you out of good luck wishes.
Good luck at your 10k!
Have fun with your 10k! Now your getting into serious distances....

PS: pace doesn't slow down 20% with every 5F over 60F...more like a couple percent ( which is still a lot).
Do great this weekend!
"average life expectancy of a Star Trek red-shirt crew member (in seconds)
after landing party"..that made me laugh.
One of my favorite shows in the Big Bang Theory, in one episode a character is talking about Star Trek landing parties and says 'I'm spock, you're kirk, she's Dr McCoy, howard is Scotie, and Rajesh is the guy who always get killed'
Good luck on Sunday!
Good luck with the 10k! Hope the weather is cooperative :)
Luv the numbers! Hopefully no one was too surprised about the % falling above or below average. :) Have a wonderful race and don't forget to enjoy yourself! Sometimes I pay too much attention to the info my Garmin is spitting out that I forget to look around and enjoy the journey. Good Luck!
Good luck with the 10K. Looking forward to hear all about it!
Wow - the 10k snuck up pretty quickly, no? Best of luck!!
Good luck this weekend! You're gonna kill it =)
Have fun at the 10k
Push yourself this weekend, but most importantly, enjoy!
Good luck, kick some bum this weekend!
Good luck. A PR may be in the air!
I've always been a fan of Leon de Lunden (Belgium), one of the greatest bird shooters ever (consider the previous to be in a sarcastic font). OK and Usain Bolt hitting 27 + MPH? Crazy. (no sarc font)
Aw Man, you threw in the Chargers thing just for me, didn't ya Grasshopper. Hey, how knows, maybe Shawn "Lights Out" Merriman will soon be playing for MY Rough Riders.
Love the numbers! Who knew it took 3,000 cows to make the footballs for the NFL's yearly supply?!? That bit of trivia will definitely come in handy sometime :)
let us know sunday afternoon how you did!
finish strong, andrew!!!
Jaw drop... 27.79mph... holy smokes...
