The Manchac 10 mile run is coming up in about 7 weeks. This is one my measuring posts on my way to the Mardi Gras Marathon Feb. 1st. As part of my training I do a long run on Sunday mornings. I am happy to announce that this past Sunday I set a new personal record. I ran 9 miles without stopping. It took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to do, but I did it. I felt surprisingly good afterwards. I had run 7 or 8 miles several times before, but something about 9 just seemed really far. My training guide(that I printed of of runnersworld.com) says I am to run 9 miles again this weekend. I feel confident in getting it done and feel like I can even pick up the tempo a step or two.
Yes, I was a bit sore on Monday, but not as much as I expected. One of the nicest things about the long run is that it adds a big jump in mileage. For those of you who have not noticed, there is a tracker at the bottom of this page keeps up with how many miles I have run this year. I love putting in the Sunday mileage. It makes it look like i really did something substantial. Well, after doing it I would definitely call 9 miles substantial. On the down side, I only ran one third of a marathon. I've still got a long way to go.
Ps.I had a great time at the cookout Sunday. K and all were glad y'all came over. I hope the grilling was to your liking and we definitely like the idea of the mountains or anything having to do with Alaska.

My top Finger Lickin' BBQ Joints
***NOTE: The following is a list of my favorite RIB joints and are ranked according to the ribs. So if you are looking for a list of butts, shoulders, or sandwiches, this ain't the place for you.
1. Archibalds, Northport AL. - It's a shack, seriously.
2. Dreamland, Tuscaloosa AL. - Ain't nothing like 'em, nowhere!
3. The Brick Pit, Mobile AL. Hard to find but worth the search.
4. The Commissary, Germantown TN. Who woulda thunk you could find such deliciousness way out in the burbs?
5. The Tin Roof, Natchitoches LA. "Tin Roof! Rusted", a true BBQ Love Shack.
6. Central BBQ, Memphis TN. Centrally located on Central Ave. at the center of the BBQ universe, and delicious too.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a Great BBQ joint in the NOLA/BR area. There is a good kentucky style BBQ place in River Ridge but I don't recall the name- I think it's called Hillbilly BBQ" or something like that.

the steaks on Sunday were very good...
Did you ever see the episode of "how I met your mother" where neil patrick harris runs a marathon on a whim, he said if you want to run a marathon, you just do it, so he ran the NY city marathon, and finished it.. But then on his ride home on the subway, his legs stopped working... it was a very funny episode. I picture you sitting at home unable to walk on sunday nights....
9 miles is a long, long way to run. Especially when there's no free beer at the end.
