1 hour 24 minutes 58 seconds

This is the amount of time it took me to run 9 miles today. That's right folks - I ran 9 miles (without stopping and more importantly without anybody or anything chasing or trying to eat me). I am feeling good right now, but I just know that when I wake up tomorrow I'll be one sorry hombre'!

There was only really two weird/memorable things that happened on my run. (1) I have now come to the realization that I must live in a valley. There were at least 5 hills on my run that were at least at a 45 degree slope. Not exactly the way I wanted to start and finish my run today.

(2) I had a guy walking on the street ask me if I had a cigarette as I ran by. I had to ask him to repeat himself because I wasn't sure I heard the question correctly. Here I am decked out in shorts, a technical running shirt, my iPod, and my fuel belt (all 4 bottles almost completely full) - does it look like I am storing my after run cigarette in my belt? I ask you, why would someone that is clearly exercising (running) have a spare cigarette?

What a weird dude!?

That's hilarious. Only better if he'd have asked for some change.
