1) A six mile, EASY run, with all the orange and yellow and purple trees to guide me. But the best part of my EASY run, was looking down at my Garmin and seeing an average pace of 9:14.
I'm SO back.
2) I stayed up late to grade some tests. Not fun. Today, a cool little skateboarder kid came to my desk at the beginning of class and said, "You graded our tests ALREADY?" In an effort to make a joke, I replied sarcastically, "Of course I did. I'm just that good." He walked away and said to no one in particular, almost under his breath, "Well, you ARE an Ironman finisher...."
Guilty as charged.
And now, I'm off for another run.

Ha ha ha... Great to see the positive impact you are having on the kids!
It's always great to get those blessed Garmin surprises.
What that kid was really saying waas darn, that means my mom is going to see my grade before the weekend.....buzzkill!
You should print out a big picture of the Ironman logo and place it in a prominent part of the classroom, less the kids forget.
They say "anything is Possible" (IM logo). You can put that on your desk.
Way to go on the run. A sub 4hr at chicago for '07?
Smiling. You kick ass.
They are just worried you will go into taper madness and choke them. If you do remind me to send you a few teenagers.
Glad your back, what is the next race you plan on? Ready for some speed workouts?
