8 miles
1:08
8:30 pace (estimated)
No space-age gadgets today since I left the Forerunner at work. Based on time and landmarks I did 8-8.5 miles - from home out 43rd to Market, then down to the path at Chestnut, backtrack to the start of the path, then out around the parking lot in back of the Art Museum at the 34 minute mark. Then the same route home, plus a couple of blocks extra to make 68 minutes. Confident I was doing at least an 8:30 pace, since I think the distance was more like 8.5.
Beautiful spring day, low fifties, with lots of runners and cyclists on the path. I can still feel the right shin a little bit, so I'm paying attention to that. Hoping to do two more 8-milers this week, then break 900 miles with a 5k race with Doug on Saturday.

Hi Murray,
I have a friend who's a long-distance runner and she recommends a book called ChiRunning: http://www.amazon.com/ChiRunning-Danny-Dreyer/dp/074325144X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239590443&sr=1-1
Apparently, the book is about running style/form and injury prevention.
Thanks, Dad. I'll take a look at that. Sounds like it could be a good complement for the FIRST program I'm starting soon.
Nick - that was you! Sorry; I'm used to the old man commenting here. Thanks for the advice.
We're all really looking forward to meeting you!
Ha ha! Actually, it was me making the comment from Nick's computer. I guess he was logged into his account and I didn't realize.
Glad to hear you'll be coming out!
