STEEL

first song on my shuffle: "'03 bonnie & clyde" jay-z ft. beyonce

i ran 5.5 miles today, and it felt great. but that's not really what i want to talk about in this post.

one of my good buddies from college just ran like an f'ing stud at the 2006 usa cross country championships. he ran in the open men's 12k race and beat guys he never did when he ran cross and track in college. this kid is STEEL. his race pace was sub-5 minutes per mile. ouch. apparently espn2 will be broadcasting the race at 11 p.m. CT tonight. looks like it's going to be a late night.

b - you are my hero.

mileage for this past week: 9.5 miles

tomorrow: rest day
