I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.
Have a great week ~

Thanks, Leslie! When can you start running a little bit?
This is sort of a taper week. Otherwise known as a cutback week. I'm not sure there's a difference, really.
Monday: 1.2 mile walk, 2.5 miles elliptical, 20+ minutes U/B weights
Tuesday: 6 mile easy run, .25 mile walk
Wednesday: 7.5 mile hilly trail run, .3 mile walk
Thursday: 5.2 easy miles at lunch
Friday: 4.1 miles run with some striders, .4 mile walk
Saturday: Santa Claus Half Marathon, 1:40:11 and 1st in AG. Yay! Warm up and cool down makes 14.2 miles for the day
Sunday: 11.2 miles run with some tempo miles in there, .5 mile walked
Totals: 48.4 miles run, 2.7 miles walked, 2.5 miles elliptical and 1 x U/B weights
Erika - I've told myself I won't run until I've gone an entire week without any foot pain, and so far that hasn't happened. Everything I've read indicates it takes 6-8 months for this type of soft tissue injury to heal, and it's only been four months. Feels longer. I'm really, really hoping I can start running again come September, but we'll see.
In the meantime, I've been finding it hard to stay motivated lately, and as such, I have no idea what I'm doing this week. I may start doing my The Firm DVDs again and improvise anytime they want you to jump around in any fashion.
Thanks Leslie.

I have no idea what the heck I did, but I ended up with two posts.

Hey guys, I really should be posting here, but for some reason fell off the wagon. Hopefully I can stay buckled on now!

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
My mistake, Tim. Should've read "more miles walking than running . . . ."
