And the records keep falling

Mile in 18:42 and the two mile in 36:03. I focused on rolling off my left foot. The calf is still too weak to keep up with the right, but it is getting a little less jerky. (All this without "smelling salts" in my jog bra.)

What brand is your jog bra? A "Manzeer" or "Broa" I would like to find one for a loved one and need to know what style is best!

Keep breaking records. I love the updates!

be careful of setting records ;-)

"Standards improved but at a cost. In 1753 Woolley Morris ran 10 miles in 54:30, a new world best, only to burst a blood vessel and die within the hour. A few years earlier a well known Welsh runner, Guto Nythbran was reputed to run the 10.4 miles from Newport to Bedwas in several minutes under the hour. He collapsed and died soon after the race, following an over enthusiastic slap on the back from an admirer."
