Well whadyaknow. I just ran 8 miles. That is one of the longest runs I have ever been on. I have almost 2 month to get ready for my race. If I don't hurt myself I think I can actually do it. Here are some things about today's run. My shin hurt in the first 1-2 miles. Just an ache, not real pain. My knee felt tight at he 4-5 mile mark. I don't know what that means.

I had a brush with greatness yesterday totally independent of my running training. I was standing in line at Swain's behind Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News. Of all random things to happen in my life.
