I ran 15 miles this morning...

I have never run that far; and I did it solo. Pretty cool, it was a beautiful, cool morning after a few days of rain. I combined 3 familiar routes into a solid, 'rolling' 15 miles---finished in a little under 3 hours. That puts me about pace for a 4:45 marathon. I am very comfortable and happy with that. I am hoping to under-promise and over-deliver on race day. But, we'll see.

Just finished visiting some old haunts with Noel...we were supposed to go to the movies, but instead caught up over a couple of pints of beer and some chips with melted blue cheese...an old favorite that I had completely forgotten about...

Look forward to the Labor Day posting of photos of the Super Max prisoners from Noel's roof...
