after my great run yesterday, i decided i would keep the momentum going and go for 9 today. and a glorious 9 it was. the temperature ranged in the 50s, the sun was shining, and the humidity i so often trudged through back east was non-existent. this day was a gift from the running gods, and i took it.
the first 2 miles of my 5 mile loop were uphill, consisting of 2 hard inclines and a handful of easier inclines. it made starting my run kind of grueling, but ending it oh so sweet. and in-between, the time somehow vanished away. it took nearly 2 hours to finish but not once didi hear the clock ticking, not once did i ask myself, am i almost done? i can't remember anything i thought about to occupy my mind, the minutes and the miles just seemed to add up, without me counting. it just felt good. today's run was like a little gift i gave myself.
my splits:
1: 13:41
2: 12:00
3: 11:40
4: 11:36
5: 12:43 (this is where i looped back to my car to take off my vest)
6: 11:54
7: 11:49
8: 11:45
9: 12:24
T: 1:49:35

nice run!
about the blog header: you first have to make one, mine was about 9.4" w by 2" h.
Then you go to "Manage Your Blog"
Click on "Template"
Within that code you have to scroll down until you find where the words
(div id='header-wrapper') and ends in (/div)
replace that whole thing with your code which is a link to where you have your .jpg uploaded. This is what mine looked like:
(div id='header-wrapper')
margin:55;
(img src='http://runwithneese.com/graphics/ndyj.jpg'/>(/span)
(/div)
I had to add the margin:55; to bump it down because it was getting cut off on the top.
Note wherever you see a ( put a < instead, it wouldn't let me type the code in this comment box
Good luck!!
email me if that wasn't clear i'll try better in email. neese@runwithneese.com
Sunshine and new running shoes! You just couldn't go wrong with that combination. Glad to hear your sucky run was followed by a great run. Your reply should be.. what sucky run? That's right, now your get'n it!
Looks like Neese is educating you to become a full blow programmer. I guess that's almost a requirement to use Blogger. Fortunatly my wife Michelle got her undergraduate in Computer Science so when I need help I just ask her.
> exactly how cold is it
> still in canada in may?
Hehe. That depends a lot on where you live. I live in Vancouver, which is probably the mildest city in Canada. It's never too hot and never too cold here.
According to The World Weather Information Service, in May, in Vancouver, the average minimum is 8.4 C (47.1) and the average maximum is 16.5 C (61.7). That's about the same as Seattle in May.
I forgot to add the F for Fahrenheit. That should be 47.1 F and 61.7 F
What an excellent run!! :) Days like that are definitely gifts to yourself.
Isn't it great when you can get into that Zen-like state and just cruise? Congratulations on a great run.
Wowzers! Nine miles!
Holy buckets! Nice nine! And you said that you wanted some of my energy! Ha!
That's a great long run. Those in-zone runs are awesome - must be contagious. I had a great 7 miles after work today. Also, I probably suck up the two-a-day workout routine since I want/need to lose some weight...
