Whoa. That's fast. Congratulations.

Are you seriously not kidding me here? That's high praise indeed from an accomplished runner like yourself!

I haven't done any ten-milers, so I can't say how painful that would be, but that's about the pace I would need to do for a marathon to qualify for Boston. And I would love to qualify for Boston.

Hmm, but you've done, like, 9 miles up a mountain and stuff, right?

I am still sore after the 10-miler. Also, I started developing a blister after mile 3, which looked quite... picturesque post-race. My moment of glory, however, was somehow finding the reserves to sprint the last half-mile. Booyah!

Heh, well, it's a bit late for that. It's just a regular healing blister now.

Nice going, dude.

Maybe you can come over and do the Boston Marathon next April....logically that would be your next step, blister or no.

I've been very vocal on the subject of marathons: running for up to two hours, which is what I'll be doing next month, doesn't really strike me as something I'd want to do much of. Running for up to four hours is right out, independant of my wishes to be in the US or not.

Woo! Ten miles justifies a lot of beer afterward.

You'd think, but for handwaving reasons that didn't actually happen.

Good stuff!

I did 10k in about 53min so you've me beat over 10 miles. Damn I need to get in shape!
