Lunch- 8.  I run with a pretty good, fast group of guys from work at lunch most days- 2 of them placed first and second at the local marathon this weekend, running 2:39 and 2:49.  And another ran a 1:30 for his first 1/2.  Awesome.

Interesting article about what could happen if Ron Paul were elected.

Quick report- Sick enough Friday to almost turn the car around and drive home, but ran anyways.  First 18 miles were ok, last 33 were not quite so much.  Still had a lot of fun and enjoyed the day, despite abject physical suffering (in other words, my day was typical for most mid-pack ultra runners).  Good times.  

Full report is now posted
