AM- 2 miles by myself, then met Jeff Shadley and his harem (literally- he has a group of 2-3 fast, good-looking women he runs with!) for about 8 miles.  Then did 2.5 faster miles with Jeff to his house, then 2 miles back to my in-laws house.  1:49:02, ~14.5 miles.  Thanks for letting me join your group, Jeff.

Right foot hurt a bit, but nothing too bad.  With some ice, it should be ready for SGM.

As of 8 am, I'm at the top of the mileage board!  Must be taper week (plus Sasha hasn't blogged his run yet today).

Thanks for the run and joining the IF running group this morning. 2 homely guys and 3 fast nice looking women, quite a sight!

I should have drove up and joined you guys this morning. But I did a long run yesterday. I think I did too many speed miles because my legs are sore. I'll only do about 8 miler today. Nice run Jon.

So now we know the secret to Jeff's success.

Fast, Good looking. Why do I run with Dave and Logan everyday. It's time to move to Idaho!

Yeah, Clyde, I had the same thoughts about Paul and Cody...

Why do I run alone?...
