Last night marked a very, very, very slow 5k practice run for a friend who is doing her first triathlon in a week or so. When I mean slow, I mean 11 mpm pace. Nonetheless, there is some utility in practicing a run as slow as that.

That was followed by a LOT of beer. Way more beer than normal. Fortunately, discretion prevailed and I stopped at, oh, about 4. Seriously. The poison of choice was Oxford Raspberry Wheat, which I chanced upon in Mechanicsburg PA. I haven't had Oxford Class (as I was introduced to it) in years. Now that I think about it, the last time was almost a full decade ago.

Surprisingly, this morning's run wasn't as painful as I thought. I suspect I'm still oozing beer from my pores, but the weather was excellent this morning (although I normally prefer a little cooler). I had forgotten the overall distance, and thought I was going a little faster than I thought...but nonetheless, today was pretty good...given the extenuating circumstances.
