Hi everyone, thanks Leslie. And in case I forget later, have a wonderful vacation with the aussies Mon -> chest/shoulders/biceps (62 minutes) and 18 minutes of ab work. Tough! Tue -> 10K easy run, well not so easy cause the first 7000 meters were a real struggle. After that, it was smooth running Finished with a 23 minute LB w/o. Almost forgot: 13K bike commute. Wed ->12K progressive run on the TM. Of which I ran the first 10K in 59:52 minutes First time I ever ran a sub 60 minute 10K. It was a really hard run! Thu -> nothing to report Fri -> 5K easy run to make up for yesterday's missed run, plus 40 min. LB w/o and a 13K bike commute. Sat -> Instead of exercising early I postponed my running to the afternoon because I had an 8AM appointment. But a 20 min car drive from Amsterdam back home turned into a 2.5 hour nightmare. They were repairing a bridge and traffic was absolutely horrific. By the time I got home, there was no way I could put a run in. ARGhhhhh. Sun -> I almost killed myself today trying to PR on the 10K. I didn't die, but I did PR: 28 sept - 10K - 1:05:50 gross 22 March - 10 K - 58:04, my net time would be like 15 seconds or so faster Passed 3 runners in the last 50 meters before the finish. They didn't expect it Guess all the hard work since 1 January paid off Total mileage: 37K UB: 1x LB: 2x Abs: 1x Bike mileage: 26K

I'll be flying to Seattle on Saturday to babysit grandsons next week. Son-in-law would like to run Mercer Island Half, so I may run it with him.

Dutchie, how's your neck?

It's better, but still not good. I'm looking for a chiropractor. And now the inside of my L-foot is painful: the arch close to the heel. It seems OK during the day, but late afternoon it starts to hurt. I've noticed something ever since I used that customised insole that caused problems on the outside of my foot, but it seems to get worse lately. I'm thinking of banking the June marathon and scale down my running. I've been getting one injury after another.

Leslie... I can understand that! what will your cats do while you're gone? Dutchie, I agree. You have had way too many things going wrong... just piled on top of each other. Some TLC for yourself sounds like a good idea. Paul... have a great time. good luck if you run the half. Erika.. you have my permission to stay. am I too late? Evryday.... overholser? Eliz, good luck with your knee. I hope it isn't really hurt. what happened?

Leslie... happy zipping!!! evryday, wtg. dutchie, wtg. will fill in my totals & whatever else i've missed tomorrow.
