Thursday Evening 6.39 Miles in Vancouver
I had wanted to get up Thursday morning and crank out another 10 miles, but my legs were a little banged up from Wednesday morning's effort. So after a long day of work, I got out on the streets at about 8:30 p.m. Pacific time.
I went pretty much the same route that I did Wednesday morning, but I made my turnaround shorter -- specifically at the top of a hill on Victoria and Adanec Street.

Out: 3.12 miles - climbed 262 feet - 33:36.98 - 10:46/mile
Back: 3.27 miles - 37:06.62 - 11:20/mile (11:10/mile)
Total: 6.39 miles - climbed 525 feet - 1:10:43 - 11:04/mile (10:58/mile)
(less 34-35 seconds when I took a quick break before turning back around and my watch didn't stop)
I didn't think that I was going that much faster than what I had yesterday morning. My legs felt a little fatigued and it had started to rain about 15 minutes into the run.
I could feel myself slowing down, especially as I passed the mile 5 mark (looking back on the course that I mapped.) My body started to hurt more than anything else. As far as cardio-wise, I was perfectly fine and relaxed, not rushed at all with this pace.
I came back in again on Hastings Street into the Central Business District and part of that goes through what is known as the lower Eastside, which is a tough part of the city. Lot of yelling and none of it I stopped to look or acknowledge ... I just kept running. And with that, nobody among the street people, drunks and homeless bothered me.
But it does make you thankful for what you have and the abilities that we've been given.

Any idea what's going on with the RTW links? rusa.com/rtw is dead. And no results last few races.
Also, is the 1st January RTW race on the 6th or 13th? I would understand moving it to the 6th because of the Marathon, but some online sources have it on both dates.
L's L website is nonindicative. (Withholding comment of my nonsurprise and their general ineptitude)
Will see you in 2007. I'll be back baby. Mwa-ha-ha-ha.
