good Early Abe 4.7 mi 00:39 08:20 pace

In preparation for this weekend's huge "Honest Abe 16-mile Challenge," I ran 4 (score) and 0.7 miles at an easy pace with Jack. I have to say that I love the mini-challenges that Thomas N. has started, they great for motivation, and the Honest Abe is a big one for me since my Twitter name (Oblinkin) is an homage to my daughter's inability to properly say Abe Lincoln when she was a bit younger.

I plan to crush my Abe this weekend by running 6.4 miles tomorrow (Abe's height), and 12 miles on Sunday (Abe's birthday in Feb.). Everybody make sure to sign up for the Honest Abe Challenge of at least 16 miles total (he was the 16th President) this weekend here: http://www.dailymile.com/challenges/747-the-honest-abe. A special thanks to the crew at Run Talk Radio and my Twitter buddies for helping get this one started! Check out this RTR short to see where it all began: http://runtalkradio.com/2010/01/abe-lincoln-the-runner/
