Okay, so this is the delima I have. Last week I ran this same loop by myself and I had to walk at some parts up the hill and my ap was around 9:50 I think.  This week, I ran with Jordan and determined to run the entire way with out walking, by slowing our pace way down.  So I did, I ran the whole thing and I was really happy about that but then our AP is really, really ridiculously slow.  What's better? It's weird because I think it's harder to run the whole thing, even running much slower, than it is to run at a somewhat faster pace and have to walk a little bit. 

Anywho, then we went to Portland and toured Oregon Culinary Institute.  Much, much smaller than LCB.  But, I liked it little better.  The courses/classes wast started by the same chefs that started LCB, and many of them are still there today.  Which is appealing to me.  And its much more affordable.

I'm curious to see what I decide to do!!!???
