10.25 miles on the treadmill. On one of these miles I achieved a time of six minutes!

Averaged 8.4 mph. 

Took Abby to the "Kid's Club" at the gym which she is getting kind of old for at eleven. When I checked her in the next oldest kid there was three. Had to bribe her with lunch afterwards. 

I wanted to watch the men's 800 again but can't find it on the internet. So I watched Dave Wottle win the gold in 1972 about five times on youtube. I was seven but I vividly remember it because of Wottle's golf cap. I think that's the same Olympics where Dwight Stones caused a stink for wanting to high jump in a Mickey Mouse t-shirt. That may have been '76 though.

I miss the 70s too...seriously, though, if there was a dude wanting to high jump in a Mickey t, then the they should have let him. What's more American than freaking Mickey Mouse?

This year's 800 was amazing. Seeing Salozar in the stands was cool, and as a former half-miler, my Dad was hyped as well.
