tonight i ran outside! first run outside in quite some time. i was too mesmerized by the temp. readings on weather.com to notice the high winds. by the time i realized the wind situation, it was too late and i was nearly a mile into the run. very windy indeed. and we all know the best thing about a brutal headwind: after the turnaround, it pushes you all the way home.

ended up with 4.0 miles in 33:50 (8:27's); my fastest mile was a 7:59 which turned out to be my new record as of the day i started using my nike+ sport kit thing. it didn't feel like it so i'm a little suspicious, but if paula radcliffe wants to congratulate me on my new personal best, well then i will let her!

i'm up late because i started watching the departed on dvd. turns out i had to watch the whole thing. not bad, not bad.

and now i must iron as i have a really early day tomorrow. i don't forsee an update until possibly monday. until then, i bid adieu. may all of your long runs be long, and your fast runs be fast. may the wind push against your back, and all of your motivation bubble up inside of you unitl you cannot stand still any more. or something!
