November 19- Garett

I know I had taken a little hiatus, but does anyone know the whereabouts for Taxi Morreale? Put out an APB for a short, maybe bearded, Italian roaming around your local Italian beef sandwich shop and see if you can't get the guy to put down the "double beef, juicy" and put on his Brooks.

In other news, criminal charges are being filed against one of the blog's premier runners. Ryan tried to kill me today. Let's begin by saying I've run back to back days one of which being my longest run since this thing started. I made the mistake of calling him before heading to the gym, I had contemplated taking the day off from running but then thought an easy 3 wouldn't hurt anyone. Ryan had other plans:

"Start at your normal 7:47 pace (can't maintain this for 4 miles steady). Then every 800 meters (roughly 4 minutes) bump the pace up .2 (about 15 seconds faster per mile) until you get to 4 miles."

"Hendy," I said, "there is no way I can do this, on a good day."
"Oh, you'd be surprised, just push yourself." He replies.
Wrong! so wrong...I was hanging on for dear life before I even hit 3 miles. Needless to say I didn't make it, but I guess it was a good "off day" workout. We'll see tomorrow when I try and go for 5.
