First off I would like to extend congratulations to all the Edmond Running Clubs members who ran some distance of a marathon this weekend. I know we had a number of folks participating in the Route 66 as well as the San Antonio Rock n Roll Marathons, and I think that all faired well. My hat is off to each of you.
In the shadow of those great ones, I did 10 miles today, averaging 13:00 exactly per mile for 2 hours 9 minutes and some change. On this run I saw several other runners, all faster than me, a dead possum (yes I'm from the South and we do call them that), and a dead mouse, a tennis shoe, and one very beautiful runner that I actually got to run with for my last 3 miles (oh yes, she is my lovely and sexy bride...Bonnie). I was beginning to slow when she connected with me and kept my pace consistent for those last three miles.
She even got a couple of catcalls from someone about her great legs, personally, I think she's got great buns. Guess I'll have to work in a photo of them...her great legs.
I feel pounded, but glad I ran. Memphis is coming up in just over 3 weeks and I think I'll be ready for it.
For those of you in the Phoenix area that read this, I'm also considering the P.F. Chang Rock n Roll in January. I know a bunch that ran that this year and wonder who will be running again in '09?
Later everyone.

Nice job on the run, Randy! I can't wait to start building up some good mileage here in the near future. I am not training for anything long yet, but I have a desire to do some longer runs!
While I keep struggling to improve my time, you guys keep blowing me away by finishing multiple marathons. I haven't even done a Half yet! Heck, I haven't even done a 10k yet (my first isn't for another week). You're inspiring, Randy, keep up the good work.
