10.20 mile run with Dave and Clyde this morning. We were running all over the road this morning. We seemed to be a little tired. Clyde had a new loop for us to try so it was different than the usual. Clyde said I pushed the pace but it was him while we finished the run pretty hard. Decent effort for this morning. 

13.40 mile run this afternoon. I did my Bloomington/DC loop in reverse like yesterday but I extended it on to the actual loop. I just relaxed and enjoyed the run and didn't worry about anything except just running. I am going to try and get some miles on the legs to have them practice running tired. I will see how tomorrow morning's run goes.

Good news of the day is that we found out we are going to have a boy! If anyone is reading this, I would like to take a vote for names. Here are the choices:

1- Donovan

2- Taine - (short for Prefontaine)

3- ESPN

4- Leroy

5- Samuel

Please cast your vote by Sunday, December 25th and then that will be the name of the child. Thank you for your time.

Running allusions aside, Taine is pretty sweet. Congratulations.

Congrats, this is awesome news. Of course if you want your son to be a winner then Tebow is the only name you need to consider.

Sunny likes Taine.

Taine and it could also be short for Rocktaine.

BTW Congrats!

As always... you should think about the negative nicknames that could come from the name - Taine seems to have something that might fit with that! But then if anyone makes fun of him he could just crush them with his massive quads!

Congrats to you guys! I wouldn't know what to do.
