Back to it: only one glass of Coca Cola today; celery with peanut butter for lunch; jog-walked 22 kilometers, including a loop up Long Road (Mokuleia Access Road) from the bottom to the Peacock Flats campground gate. Average pace: 9 minutes per kilometer.

I made the mistake of looking at a couple of running blogs this afternoon. Nine minutes is the easy pace at which slow runners run a mile. Slow girl runners! My nine minute per kilometer pace is equivalent to 14:30/mile, or walking pace.

Here’s a fun* running blog: My Endless Summer: Adventures, Marathon Training, and Good Eats while Island Living. Yeah, it’s another blog by a gorgeous girl who bombs ultras like they’re nothing.

*Or, “discouraging,” when I consider my waddling fat-guy efforts.
