It's time to graduate to 10Ks.

Who set a new personal best at the 5K distance today? Who finished under 23 minutes (22:59, actually) today? Who's more committed than ever to working his way up to at least one marathon before he's 35?

Here's the link, if you care.

Edited to add: I just realized earlier today that 22:59 is not a personal best, but the faster time was unofficial, it was on a cross-country trail, and I almost killed my friend Chad when I set too quick a pace on the first mile. So... 22:59 = fastest official time... but who's counting, really?

Now that I've read back over it, this is not that impressive.

Color me a bit late in getting this on the ol' blog, but here's an interesting train of thought from late Saturday afternoon...

• Caesar salad, bread, steak au poivre (look it up), scalloped potatoes, apple pie, and vanilla ice cream for dinner on Friday...


• Bran flakes with chocolate chips (And milk, yes. Duh.) for breakfast on Saturday...


• A Coke (No diet, no caffeine free, no plus, no cherry, no zero, no lime. The real thing... as it was meant to be consumed.) while beginning repairs on some damaged moulding Saturday morning...


• Half a Digiorno pizza (I'll take my product placement royalties in cash, please.) and a Smithwick's Ale (Again... cash. Euros will be fine.) for lunch...


• A practice 5K time of 23:41.

I think I've found a new diet.
