AM: 10 miles around Pendleton.  I considered running on the hotel treadmill as I didn't want to deal with the hill but I ended outside anyway.  Felt okay.  Just okay. ;)

Lunar (460)

PM: 10 miles on the hotel treadmill.  I didn't dare compete with the heat again today.  HBO was playing Kung Fu Panda which passed the time nicely.  Jack Black is becoming one of my favorites.  Anyway, 7 miles easy and then the last 3 were a little quicker (6:00, 6:00, 5:40).  Finished with a 7:02/mile average.

I went back to the Great Pacific again for dinner tonight (same as last night).  I had the same waitress and ordered basically the same as Monday's dinner; 2 EAS protien drink (20 oz), large salmon ceaser salad, sandwich (peanut butter, banana, honey).  After taking my money she asked 'so uh, do you eat all your food here or take some home with you?'  I told her I had just ran 10 miles, after running 10 miles this morning, and that I was hungry.  She looked back at me like (fill in the blank) i.e. I had 3 ears, I had 6 eyes, I had cauliflower growing off my forehead, etc.  What do you say to a non-runner to not sound like a freak?

You're not a freak yet! 30 miles a day would be freak level. Seriously, we live in a society where anything over 5-6 miles requires wheels of some kind. Wouldv'e been funny if she replied "Ahh that's nothing, I did 25 miles before my shift!"

I know, right?! I actually heard her tell her co-worker that she was proud to be able to run 3 miles before work. It's all relative, I suppose.
