Thanks for the race report, Colby. And you are not average at running - you ROCK!! I think I remember reading that only 2% of the world's population can run a mile - that makes you elite right there. But just counting runners - What percent of the world's runners can run a marathon? Well under 50%, I'd be willing to bet - plus what percent of marathon runners can beat your time? You did great - be proud of yourself!

And I'm inspired - I didn't blow off last night's run even though it had to be on the treadmill. Did a little over a half an hour worth of speed intervals. It helped being able to watch "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" on t.v. while I was at it. Sometimes a little goofiness in the background really keeps the "boringness" down.
