Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

I set out this morning to do a ten mile run. It was cold and the roads were icy and I didn't feel very motivated so I decided to do it on the treadmill. I put in the 1995 Orange Bowl ( A great game where Nebraska beats Miami in the final minutes of the fourth quarter to win the national championship). The game was so good that I just kept running and running. Ended up doing 13.1 miles. I tacked on the 0.1 just to make it an official half marathon.

I have lately been doing a lot of TM running while watching football. It has been a lot of fun, but I think I need to get some of these long runs in on the road so I will be obeying the training principle of specificity. I need to be prepared for Painters next month.

So how long did your TM 1/2 marathon take? Are you a Nebraska fan? That was a heck of a defensive performance they put on Sat. night. If Suh wasn't so fast, McCoy would have held on to that ball a second longer and the Corn Huskers would have won.

Rhett, It took 2:10. My goal is to go sub 2 at Painters.

I love the Cornhuskers. I went to dental school in Omaha from 1993-1997. They won 2 national championships during that time. I wasn't able to watch the Texas game but heard it was very exciting. I think they are finally making there way back up to where they were in the glory years of the mid 90's. Do you watch a lot of college football?

I am a college football junkie. I don't really do the NFL, but I love college. I am a BYU fan, but I keep up with most all of it.
