In the Long Run
With the marathon five weeks off, I've only got a week or two to improve my fitness and to reintroduce my body (and my mind) to going long. Last Saturday, after a long break, I ran eight miles. Today, I went for 16. The pace, 8:36/mile, was a bit slower than what I hope to run in Death Valley. Interestingly, though, my splits were negative until the last mile. That was encouraging. But the last mile wasn't. Man, I wasn't starting to ache.

Hi there Pete,
Just to give you a heads up, you're probably going to get some more comments on this post: this post. I found you when I was out looking for the latest info about rashguards s sport products, and even though this doesn't relate to rashguards s sport, I still had to stop and tell you that you're doing a great job. You're about to get some visits from my brother and sister. I told them about your blog so I hope you don't mind.

Howdy Pete,
I'm impressed with what you wrote here in your this post post. I gave up my search for swim shirt information and wanted to hang out here on your blog - well done. I might make a blog like yours about swim shirt, but I wouldn't try to compete with you. You're doing a great job Pete.
You got a great thing going... by friend.

Aloha Pete,
I'm a visitor from Hawaii and just found your post this post. I like it... it's interesting so I decided to read and say hi. Although my interests are mostly about quicksilver rashguard related information right now, your blog got my attention and was a nice change. Thanks for your nice blog Pete, I think I'll tell my cousin to stop by if that's okay.
~ Aloha ~

Hi Pete,
I have to say that your blog hits the spot!
I was out looking for information on baby rash guard but found your post: this post to be far more interesting than what I was looking for. Quite a good job you're doing on your site here... I'm thinking about making a blog about baby rash guard I want to make it look like yours here. If you have any tips or secrets maybe you could share :)

It was great to visit your blog, thanks.
