My goal was completing in under one hour - and I hit under 58 minutes!

Not only was my unofficial time under an hour (57:13), my official time, which I'll get this evening, should only be about 30 seconds higher. (I like to start at the back of the pack.) Of course, this means I'll have to push myself harder next Saturday to beat this time. Shouldn't be too hard, because next week's race is flat, not rolling hills.

As a side note, I will have to refrain from listening to FTL during races. The occasional outbursts of laughter seem to disturb my neighbors.

Now since I ran to the start of the race from home and back after, I have 9-9.5 miles under my feet already today, and need to start packing in the calories. That postrace latte only gets me so far on the refuel.

Is that good?  I'm guessing so.  Congratulations.

I am the parent of a 5 year old that loves reading. This has been a parental goal of mine since before I was a parent. A trip to the library is considered to be a treat that is looked forward to. I often use books and extra story times as a reward. I intend to keep encouraging this as I think this is one of the greatest gifts I can give my child.

It makes me feel like a pretty good dad.

That is absolutely something to brag about.  An ability to read early and well, and a love of reading, is the best gift my parents gave me.

This.

When I walk through the house on a rainy Saturday afternoon and see each of the three kids curled up with a book, I get a strong sense that we're doing a pretty darn good job. And, now that the youngest is well into the "big kid books", the conversations between the kids at the dinner table are often about the exploits of heroes and villains in books, instead of the latest video game cheat or Hannah Montana / Jonas Bros / Other show my kids don't watch.

So did I - but then screwed up on the second hole.

Cold, rainy 10k this morning - 54:59 - New Personal Record! Bigger thing for me was being in the top third for both my age group and gender.

(Next up is a 13.1 mile race in two weeks - where I will be thoroughly humbled as I slide back down into the middle third, or bottom half.)
