10 Mile Run (AA) **164**

SANTA MONICA -- Went with a tricked out little long-loop, using San Vincente more than usual and completely looping the Brentwood CC. Good stuff.

Really kept the hop up from the start, but the reason this was above average was the little charge I got running past the mansions...my legs were bent coming out of the hill, but the only thing that emerged was a good feeling. A feeling like, "I know this and all will be well." And that's like 3 miles in. Pretty good. Haven't had the emptiness emerge for way over a month. Great stuff.

Nice to get a double-digit effort in there. We've got the Nike Run Hit Remix on Sunday morning, so we'll see how good a fiver I can pull off.
