Yes, I'll be OK. The leg's no worse than it was a month ago; I just need some more kinks worked out. I am also going to sign up for Winter #4 which is the last Saturday in February. Might as well do the half. You hitting either of these?

Still thinking it over. Good to know you're down for #4 as well.

I accidentally found this group. I can understand this philosophy! I'm spending my daily hour or so before bed with my ice and Exogen machine. Somedays it takes 2 miles and somedays it takes 7 to feel really good/numb but what the heck, right? Recovery indicator Nobby talks about gives me a little smiley face and tells me to have a good workout, so I go for it. My morning heart rate stays between 44 and 48, my weight goes down occasionally, so I eat a huge bowl of ice cream and an extra peanut butter sandwich. If I don't get enough sleep, it's because I didn't go to bed, not because I can't sleep. I'm not overtraining I'm "callousing myself." I stole that line from Shalane. I want to believe I'm a Master's version. Lol! That probably means I'll be crippled soon, or so I've been told. I've had enough MRIs in the last year to know that this pain is OK. Shin splints. I can deal with them. So I limp a little. I can still run!!! I am realizing that if I just push through the discomfort, it keeps moving around. I want to keep going and I want to get faster. I believe that I'll progress if I just push through this phase. So, am I in? Sorry I haven't sent you an e-mail Nader. I've been trying to find the paper to scan and I'm too lazy to write an explanation of everything. Maybe tomorrow. :-/
