Hey Mr. Crossing Guard Man...raise that sign for me...

I did it! I ran a 3/2 without cheating!
Well...sort of. I did have to take a small break when my knee felt like it was going to give out on me. :)

But seriously. I did my 4 mile loop around work - yes, kids, 4 freakin miles! - and set my watch to a 3/2 interval and (to quote Emeril), "BAM!" I did it. I realized, however, that I have to continue to push through the pain. Once I was able to recover, it make each 3-minute run set a little easier.

Since I haven't had a chance to put in any pretty graphics in a while, I thought I'd add this little number to commemorate the really nice crossing guard dude who saw me coming and actually stopped some cross street traffic for me so I didn't have to wait and jog in place on the curb.



And for all of those of you were wondering (seriously, people!)..."No. This is not an actual representation of Mr. Crossing Guard." I mean really...duh. :)

Great job Chris! Was your crossing guard as cute as that little guy at least?

Not as furry, but just as cute. :)

Yay, Chris! You are rocking and rolling now. And watch out for the knee.
