I broke the illusive 6 minute barrier last Friday at the track. Afterward, Coach assured me that I'll be ready to run sub-40 for the 10k at Raleigh Relays in March.

It was slightly raining and there was a high school girls field hockey game going on while I was running around the track so I'm sure I was labeled "creepy" by the parents in the stands. Of course, it's also possible that they didn't think anything of it until I started screaming "I'M NOT CREEPY! Just running a one mile time trial by myself in the rain. . like you've never gone 3 days without shaving!" All this while shoving a moon pie in my mouth of course.

On Saturday I went to a Metallica concert which has absolutely nothing to do with this blog post except that I'm hopeful I can recruit Jason Smith to join in on the fun. The dude ran a race in snow shoes. That's a total Dusty Spikes move!
