No you are no lost!!
If you are followers of Jess and were directed here from her blog: WELCOME TO MY BLOG!
Today is rest day for me.
Yesterday I did my speedwork
10x400 @5k pace on the treadmill. Boy that was not easy. First time going up to 10 repeats. First 5 I did 30 sec faster then 5k pace and last 5 at 40 sec faster.
I got an 11 miles for my long run this weekend and an easy 4 miles. It is supposed to be really hot here (90+) so I am getting up early to beat my enemy: the heat!
________________
Head over to Big Daddy Diesel to wish him well, he is running his first half marathon this weekend! GO BDD!!!!! (did you see the HABS won last night!!!)
Also mon ami Chris K is taking the blogland by surprise by running a half marathon Sunday, yep just like that.
Good luck boys! Looking forward to the race reports! WITH PICTURES: BDD!!!

So this week's Would you rather is brought to you by little old me. I know you were all wondering when will we get a Canadian version? The day has come my friends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you rather...? No 13
The Maple Leaf Version!
1. Would you rather see Céline Dion in concert?
or Mariah Carey?
2. Would you rather eat a POUTINE ( Fries, FRESH cheese curds and gravy)
or a Big Mac?
Caro: Poutine! Best Junk food Ever, 100% Québécois!
3. Would you rather go to a hockey game?
(Yes BDD, I HAD to put that picture, Oh Canada!)
or a Football game?
Caro: Please..Hockey is a religion for us Canadians!
4. Would rather have lunch with Jaqueline Gareau, REAL winner of the 1980 Boston Marathon? (Do you know this crazy story about the 1980 Marathon and Rosie Ruiz who cheated? You can read about it here)
or with Joan Benoit Samuelson, winner of the first Women's Olympic Marathon?
Caro: This is tough! I pick Jacqueline because this story is crazy and also she speaks French!!!
or 2 nights on a desert Island with Richard Hatch?
Caro: Ice Hotel for me, I have no desire to see Richard Hatch's naked butt!
