OJ, I was being kind of nosey and looking at your mileage log and noticed that you ran at the Pettit Center. How did you like it? Since I'm doing all of my long runs there now, I've actually started to hate the place. I can't wait until the snow clears off the trails near my house.

The biggest surprise for me when I first started running there was how hard the track was. It's almost like you're running on concrete, but it's kind of a thin hard rubber. I did a long run last week of about 15 miles on the track and my knees were bothering me all week. How are you coming along on you're training schedule. I'm at about 35 or so miles a week and I hope to be picking things up a bit and plan on hitting the 40's after this week. I always worry that I'm not running enough, but its been tough to run outside.

Hey OJ, Sorry to hear about your setback with injuries. You still have some time so take things easy and don't try to catch up all at once. I hope you get back to running soon.
