Aug. 11 - Rest Day; Aug. 12 - 4.5 Miles Ran

Beautiful early evening run around Day Pond.  Interestingly, there was nary a soul at the pond on a very nice evening.  Maybe the steady presence of the huffing and spitting 1,000 mile man has finally driven the crowds away!

I did three laps for a total of 4.5 miles.  I was pretty sore from many hours of yard work on Sunday, but felt very good at the end of the run.  It amazes me how pulling weeds for a few hours ends up taxing the body more than a 10-mile run.  Maybe if I did yard work more regularly...

I completed miles 903-906, sponsored by Kevin Farkas (903) and Keith Webster (904-906).  I'm pretty sure Kevin and Keith were neighborhood friends back in the day.  Thanks for your sponsorship fellas!

It's long past time for me to send out a HUGE thank you to the person made the entire effort possible--my wife Ellie.  Today was a perfect example.  I couldn't get out to run at lunch so I called leaving work and asked if I could get a quick run in after work.  She says "no problem" even though this unexpectedly puts her on dinner detail.  Seems like no big deal until you multiply that x 100, throw in a few 20 mile runs with the commensurate 4 hour recovery and appreciate that she works full time and is going to school.  So THANK YOU Ellie, there's no way I could have done this without you!
