Another NSV for me!

I just ran the 4.35 mile loop around my neighborhood and finished in 36 minutes. Not bad for a 285 pounder. (That's about 20 and a half stones for those of you across the pond!)
(About a month ago, some of you may remember me erroneously reporting a time of 34 minutes for this distance and later appending it to 43 minutes--well this time is official.)
The differences:
I've been running harder lately.
I ran the opposite direction, so I got the big hills out of the way first.
I left the bigger dog at home (She's got to read every pee-mail along the way--I spend a good bit of my runs dragging her.)
I'm probably ten pounds lighter than I was that first time I ran it.
I've got new running shoes!
