On my way home this afternoon, I stopped by the grocery store for a few items. And what's right next door to the grocery store? Dunkin Donuts. Looking for a little pick-me-up for the afternoon, I decided to step into Dunkin and get a cup of coffee. Now, usually, I don't drink their coffee, but it was right there so I got a cup.
Yum-o! Marcy's right, that stuff is dang good. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's superior to Starbucks, but it certainly is a close rival, and based on what I'm about to reveal, is maybe also more powerful.
So, I got home, cleaned the house and then set out for a 4 miler. Here are the splits:
1: 8:56
2: 8:56
3: 8:49
4: 8:46
Total Time: 35:27
Yes, you are reading those numbers right, and yes, every mile came in as a sub-9er. Based on these abnormally fast digits I have concluded that Dunkin Donuts perhaps adds crack to their coffee. And if that's true? Fine with me -- I could become a Dunkin Devotee.
Shhh... Don't be givin out all Marcy's secrets ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice ! Dunkin always gets me going.
ReplyDeleteAlas I finally have a reason to dump my beloved Starbucks!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Dunkin Donuts for their coffee and other assorted goodies. It really is probably a good thing that we don't have any near by.
ReplyDeleteMy local grocery store sells Dunkin Donuts coffee and I've always wondered why it is so popular . . . now I know!
ReplyDeleteSuuhweet. I think they are starting to sell dunkin donuts coffee at the grocery around here....mebbie I should try some.
ReplyDeleteIts a blessing that DD are everywhere here. I have to admit that the coffee are quite good compared to Starbucks. You have to try Colatta! Its awesome.
ReplyDeleteOK I looked up in my dream dictionary, why I have one..no idea. There was nothing on running in the company of animals. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSmoking awesome Jess on the SUPER fast miles. I am buying that $8 bag of Dunkin coffee next time I am at the grocery fo sho. Watch out I may do sub 12's.
No doubt! They DO add speed in that shiz. How do you think I managed the RBF 9 on the 9th? LMAO! :-X I always get the coconut or hazelnut. YUM!
ReplyDeleteAnd Lisa is totally foolin she would NEVER give up Starbucks :P
I don't even drink coffee and know "America runs on Dunkin."
ReplyDeleteI could become a coffee drinker if they add crack to it! Heck, even if it would give me 4 miles of 9:30ish splits, I would start iv's! That was one kickass run, especially after cleaning house!
ReplyDeleteWHAT THE FUUUUUUUUCK????
ReplyDeleteI hate you Jess.
:P
(that means not really)
OMG! Jess, that's some fast digits! Wow, you have got faster and faster with every run. I'm gonna start drinking DD coffee like crazy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Jess!
damn girl, if I had a dunkin' near me I would drink that stuff before every run!
ReplyDeleteNice splits!
Damn! If that's what happens when you "run on Dunkin" I may have to pick some up! Nice numbers!
ReplyDeleteWow! I am IMpressed.
ReplyDeleteI promise I will get the heel crap fixed and can try to run soon. Until then, walking it is. (Found out I probably should not even be doing that either. Crap)
And your comment? Cracked me UP.
If that's the case maybe I should switch my pre-race routine from Starbucks and a blueberry muffin to some Dunkin Donuts and coffee. Nice run!
ReplyDeleteHmmm.maybe that's what I need to get me back on track.
ReplyDeleteWow! Awesome splits, Jess! Kick ass!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokin cup o joe. That's fast. You are getting faster every time you go out.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered the DD out here on the west coast and man is it delicious. We don't really have DD around here but thank god that their coffee is in the grocery stores! Woo Hoo.
ReplyDeleteNo DD around here, but I have had the same experience after a Red Eye from 'Bucks. Good times (pun intended)
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes. What was in that coffee? You were flying!!
ReplyDeleteWait, "Dunkin" Donuts? Shit, I thought it was drunken donuts. No wonder I couldn't run worth a crap when fueled up with them. Okay, I'm going to have to try your version.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, that must have been some damn jet fuel or something. Nice job on the run!! Must be all the training with wild animals.
Crack only makes me fast when I'm running from the cops because I've been selling it to school kids.
ReplyDeleteHell of a job getting faster!
Holy crap! Look at those splits!
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should set up Dunkin Donuts stops during marathons instead of Gatorade.
