Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson

Blah! Get well, Bugs! 6 miles yesterday to put me firmly at 70 for the week. Starting off this week right with 14 easy today. I'm scrunching all of miles early this week so I don't have to roll off a 90 minute run on Saturday, so this week looks something like 14, 10, 10, 19, 8, 6, 5. I hate doing it, because it does risk injury, and my speedwork suffers, but at least I get the miles in. Speaking of the weekend, this is the weekend we're in DC. The final answer is that we're staying nearer to Ashburn, at the Dulles Residence Inn. I'm thinking about a nice early Sunday morning run ~7am or so, maybe 5-6 miles? Who's in?
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
Hail to The Victors!
I think I'm in Jeremy. Will see how the week progresses with recovery though. I'm in Detroit this week for some work and some house hunting. We'll see how it goes. The flurry of activity on my house has died down with no one on the hook yet. Guess we'll see.

Sorry to hear about the water in your basement and hope your feeling better ASAP Bugs!!!
Hope your daughter feels better ASAP Kimmie! Thanks Kimmie I've got a slight addiction to bowling on Facebook
What's bowling on Facebook? I've found a plan that I'm happy with... calls for 8 miles of hills tomorrow... I think someone on here recommended it to me. So, how should I run 8 miles of hills? If I don't have a hilly route, would I just run a warmup and then repeat the same hill 10 times and then cool down? that's probably not the best... still thinking...
Oh Mighty Wing
Shan, how's it going getting the shamrock results figured straighten out?
I wish you luck and good health Bugs. What's great about marathon training is that it keeps you consistent and training really hard all through winter. What's bad about marathon training is that if you get sick, you're a little screwed and feel like you have to make up for time lost. Just remember that you have a good base, and you need to get better.
