I'll start with the good news– I didn't get hurt, and I finished the 18 miles yesterday. Everything else was bad.  Really bad. For the first nine miles, the run seemed pretty normal, if not better than normal.  I was cruising along, listening to my podcasts, easily finishing each mile in 15-20 seconds faster my…

No, you didn't have one of those weird dreams where you think it's Friday and then halfway through the morning you realize it's not.  So where's Sweet-Tooth Friday?  Well, I just got back from vacation, and figured you might be mad if I didn't at least say "hi."  So…
