Well, from now on, no complaining allowed! I would LOVE to be able to run 10 minute miles!
You are now officially a speed demon in my book!

HA! HA! Well, that was a FAST run for me and not typical at all.
In my first Olympic distance race on 5-28-07, I plan on running a 11-12 minute mile, so I don't get a horrible side cramp.
What is said though, is that in my last race, I ran a 10:20 minute mile and I still got passed by EVERYONE! In a tri, you have to run a 7-8 minute mile to really be a contender out there. Thus, I'm a slow runner.
Anyhoo, thanks for the kind words.
I was shocked at my average on the bike, and I plan on running a 18 mph average in my race! I think I can do it!
Thanks Mini, Starfish and Tri Girl for the kind words. I hope that was just a small example of how good my race is going to go!
