On stopwatches and tiny dogs

Great run.

I felt good the whole way through and finally broke the 10:00/mile barrier, finishing my 3.17 miles in 31:38. I'm not going to win any races, but it's a definite improvement over my efforts in weeks past.

Of course, no run would be complete without a dog chasing me. Or, in this case, two dogs. They weren't pit bulls (thank god), but two extra-small Min Pins. Am I doing something wrong here? I half expect to run into a coyote before this is over.

Anyway, seven miles tomorrow. Seven! It's all uphill from here.

I'm a non-runner, too. Last year I trained for a couple of months for a 10k, then got the flu the week before the race. I ran it anyway. Was passed by eight year-olds and the elderly.

You're doing it for a great cause, of course. For a little extra inspiration, here's a short video I think you'll appreciate -- http://www.ahamoment.com/vote/allen -- about why one BB/BS volunteer got involved and stays involved. If you like it, click and vote for it and it might wind up a TV commercial.

Best,
