Nice morning, getting cooler and cooler every day.  It was a little bit breezy which kept drying me out but I had my water stash every 2.5 miles.  My Garmin died at .5 miles so I just had to run by feel, pretty sure the first 2 laps were 6:30ish pace, then I slowed into a more comfortable pace for the next 2.  I was just going to run 1 mile of the final loop and turn around for an even 12 but I saw a guy ahead and caught up to him.  He is here for the conference from Indiana and was in the same boat as I was, nowhere to run.  I told him I'd show him my loop so I ran with him for the final loop.  I wish I would have had him earlier, it made it really nice to talk to someone and forget about running for a bit.

Really kind of clueless about my total time,  all I know is I made it to work on time.  This conference out of all other conferences I do per year really is the only one where I start thinking about getting a new job.  So ready to be done.  Then I get to go do it all over again next week in San Francisco.

I'm looking for a running partner really early on Saturday morning for a 22 - 24 mile run.  Any takers?

Couldn't convince your wife to let you come to Poky?

Nope, It was a pretty definitive "NO" when I brought it up again.

I love running with a buddy, it's the best. If my ankle wasn't all jacked up I might take you up on that 22 miler, except that your too fast! I tried to tell Britt to let you run it, but she was pretty adamant about you not. Save it for St. George!

I would be very interested in doing a long run with you. What kind of pace are you looking for and where were you thinking of doing it?
