7 Mile Run (O)

SANTA MONICA -- I've been holding off, but what the hell...here it is. I slapped an outstanding on a run.

This run was really incredible. I was running hard the whole way and thinking very clearly. Not a lot of looking around...not a lot of daydreaming or even pushing...just focus. One foot in front of the other with eyes usually straight down the road.

I was flying for at least 80 percent of this one. And that's saying something. I don't think I've ever run quite so fast for that long. This is probably the equivelent of that 10K on the treadmill, except a bit longer and for real. Very impressive.

Those good vibes carried over as Craigers Monroe cranked a 9th Inning dinger to squash the Yanks. How about that?

From the moment I took my shoes off, I knew something like that would fit right in this evening. A little dash of the good stuff is floating around.
