I am sitting here drinking wine, nibbling some brie cheese, and playing around online while Zach creates some kind of delicious chocolate dessert... I am forbidden from entering the kitchen so I don't know what he's working on exactly. All I know is I'm going to devour it immediately after dinner. Or, you know, before. Whichever.
Zach and I had an amazing run in Forest Park today. We were just talking about it and he called me Speedy Gonzales, and I thought he said Sweetie Gonzales, hence the title. Sorry if that is offensive? No I'm not, lighten up. Dude is fast.
And so am I.
Saturday: run
11.0 miles/1:26:28/7:51 average pace
Here's the splits. Keep in mind the main trail in FP climbs for about a mile or two, then more or less evens out. But it's a little rolly the whole way. We stopped a few times between miles 4-6 or so to rest, enjoy the view, and make out (kidding). I didn't use my GPS since I can't keep a signal up there and the trail is marked accurately.
1- 8:34
2- 8:10
3- 7:52
4- 8:08 (average, missed the 4th mile marker)
5- 8:08 (average)
6- 8:00 (turned around at 5 1/2)
7- 7:34
8- 8:07
9- 7:37
10- 7:35
11- 6:28
That last mile is a screaming downhill, but still. I'm sure that is the fastest I've ever run a single mile, and it was after running 10 hilly miles.
Happy Valentine's Day, my loves!!

HOLY HELL SWEETIE GONZALES FOR SURE!! awesome awesome run jen!! happy vday to you and zach - the cake looks amazing.
I would congratulate you on your ridiculously fast run, but I am completely offended. The Latino community is tired of being marginalized in this manner and worst of all, of being portrayed as a rodent. How dare you?
LOL ;) You're hella fast!
