Well some good and some bad from the weekend. The good was I set a 7 second PR from 6 years ago (only 6 more years till 28:35), and I ran a smart race in a good position the whole time. The bad was just the last 4-5 laps where I let the pack put 10-20 seconds on me after running a perfect race for me up to that point it was disappointing for them to pull away from me at the end.
After the race I had in my mind that I was going to I was going to go to In-N-Out burger and get a double double animal style (the 3×3 would have been too much). I didn’t look up any before the race and figured I could just drive around and find one. Well after driving all over Palo Alto passing 3 Jack in the Box, 2 McDonald’s, a Taco Hell, and many other restaurants it just did not want me to find it. It felt like Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, without the drugs and cheetah, and me wanting to go to In-N-Out Burger. I knew my stomach was not going to accept anything else so I kept searching only to come up empty. After 30 mins of driving being 12:30 am and my stomach rumbling, I settled on a Jack in the Box which was terrible. Today I have a plan, I mapped it out on the way to the airport for lunch this afternoon, and I will not be denied.
Up next is the Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Half Marathon in 2 weeks on May 15th where I will be running to defend my title from last year.

Sorry about the last e-mail. I clicked on the 2010 results. But you are still number one in our book.
