I don't recommend running 13.8 miles in the rain without first applying Body Glide

What a difference the weather makes in running performance. I went out for 13.8 miles this morning and nailed it at an 8:38 pace. Were it not for the slow start, it would have been damn close to an 8:00 pace.

I'm looking forward to the 20 next weekend. Dan, I'd like to come up on Saturday. Is that agreeable? I'll bring a lot of plant protein.

Check out the Brooks-Hansons Original Distance Project blog.

These guys are insane. 120 miles per week on average and peaking at 140. They admit that it's not enjoyable, but that's what it takes to become a world-class athlete, an olympian. Very interesting stuff.

Ryan- yes you are welcome to come up on Saturday. I've got a couch, but I'm not sure how comfy it is for sleeping. You have a sleeping pad or anything?
