Bush, in trouble over soaring gasoline prices, ordered a probe on Tuesday into any price gouging, called for an end to tax breaks for Big Oil and suspended oil deposits into the U.S. emergency stockpile.

Ran a nice fast 6 today and felt good. Al K. and I have a bunch of 6s and the Queens 1/2 this week. My plan for the 1/2 is to do 8:15s for the first 9 miles and then negative split the last portion at 7:45s or better.

Congrats to GVB. He kicked ass in the Vancouver Sun Run.
