    TaoRunner on 11/11/2008
  • Fun but short run in Aman Park. [3.5 mi @ 9:08 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 11/7/2008

    TaoRunner on 11/4/2008
  • What a great day for a run in the park. Lots of dogs and people. No watch just a fun run. Crashed my foot Thursday but it did OK today. [9 mi @ 10:13 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 11/2/2008
  • What a wonderful afternoon for a run. The sun was out if was cool and it was breezy. Run at Siedman Park. Probably a bit longer then 9. Ran the second loop one minute faster then the first. Good run. [9 mi @ 10:20 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 10/30/2008

    TaoRunner on 10/26/2008

    TaoRunner on 10/23/2008

  • Beautiful day and a very satisfying run. Fast for me. [5 mi @ 7:53 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 10/14/2008
  • Not as long of a run as I had wanted. It really gets dark fast and early! Crashed once and decided to call it quits because of darkness. [3.5 mi @ 9:42 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 10/12/2008

  • Ran with Chris. Really picked up as we went along, 8:30 the first mile, around 8 on the second so the last one had to be around 7:30. That's pretty fast for me. [3.1 mi @ 8:00 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 9/1/2008
  • Had wanted 8 min miles and this is pretty close. Reasonably happy. Overall 2 minutes slower then last year. [6.2 mi @ 8:08 min/mi]
    TooRunner on 8/24/2008
  • Things aren't getting better. Bike computer didn't work and I took a wrong turn on the course adding distance. Still not very happy, but this was a pretty good ride. [25 mi @ 3:04 min/mi]
    ToaRunner on 8/24/2008

    TaoRunner on 8/15/2008

    TaoRunner on 8/14/2008
  • Practice swim in Lk MI. Dang was that water cold! And it was smooth as glass so I didn't really get to practice swimming in waves. [.3 mi @ 30:00 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/13/2008
  • Much slower then I had hoped. However the I know the middle miles were run at sub 8 min pace. Red traffic lights really add to your time. [7 mi @ 8:44 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 8/11/2008

    TaoRunner on 7/21/2008

    TaoRunner on 5/27/2008
  • Lackluster run. It seems I'm not as young as I used to be and it takes more then 2 weeks to recover from a long race now. Sigh. [11 mi @ 9:43 min/mi]
    TaoRunner on 5/24/2008
  • Easy run just to enjoy the out of doors and the sun. [5 mi @ 8:41 min/mi]
