Go Big or go Home

I ran 6 miles at mines falls today. It was outstanding!! The weather was great, the course was great, and i felt awesome for 5 miles. The last mile beat the bag out of me a bit, but I'm fine and ecstatic. According to Hal Higdon and every other freaking expert, I shouldn't have doubled my miles today. Ideally, they would have had me run 4.5. That's like going to the pub and ordering a 12 ounce draft! GO Big or Go Home! I knew I had 6 in me, I woke up thinking six and i wasn't going to be denied. I'm hoping for 9 in 7-10 days.

It's funny, I'm running with such confidence now. I respect the half marathon distance, but I don't fear it like i did last year last year. It's a very different mindset.

One quick observation- Bill O'Reilly reminds me of a great boxer who fought past his prime. He reminds me a little of Tyson. He's still able to get the big fights because of his name, but he has nothing left in the ring. The O'Reilly from 10 years ago would have knocked Obama out cold last night. The current washed up Bill barley landed anything but jabs. It's a shame, I was once a card carrying "Factor" maniac, but i know I'm a Glenn Beck fan. O'Reilly couldn't hold Becks jock on a good night!!

That's all for now...Ross
