no running for me yet but it has been a glorious day!! started off with 3 of my boys going to morning mass with me then we went out to breakfast.........this afternoon dh went food shopping and cooked dinner while 2 of us went to the gym - i came home and made chocolate fudge brownies and chocolate lava cakes for dessert.....and had wonderful chats with a few friends before and after the gym!! now we are all home unwinding - probably been the longest stretch all 6 of us have been in the house (awake) at the same time!! at the gym: 30 minutes bike (10.8) miles, 10 minutes arc trainor, 10 minutes step mill then did some upper body work and my PT exercises!!

Erika - given your foot pain, I would err on the side of caution for the moment. Relax. Go watch the scrimmage and enjoy. Don't forget to take the video camera.

Oh great, NOW you tell me. Heh. Well, I did go out and cranked out 10.4 miles, first 8 of which were faster than I'd planned. Nothing like a little GI distress to make you turn mile 5 into a tempo run to make it to the McDonald's asap... I won't eat there, but I'll sure use their very nice restroom. (It's a new McD's and the restrooms are still pretty nice) Felt soooo much better, and turned out three in a row nice relaxed 8:25 min miles until I started back up the hill. The next two miles were hot and hard... sun came out, wind at my back, ugh. Took off my gloves and top shirt, tied it around my waist (so sue me), and struggled home. Tomorrow will be a xt day, or easy rest. DS1 has his first scheduled game tomorrow evening, but I bet it's canceled cuz there's no way the fields will be in playing shape. Yeah, Evryday! you're smiling... that's a good sign! Waiting for the RR...

dg, hi! I miss you & many other favorites here. And that btb guy is obviously a nice fellow! I can't keep up and post on two sites, however. Quite frustrating. enk, I've been following your training so closely you'd think I'm a little weird. Please just rest and read whatever junky magazines you'd like and just have a mellow and relaxing week. You'll feel sproinky by Sunday, I promise!

Time to celebrate two magnificent PR... Wild's 13 miler and evryday's 26.2!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

wrapping up work, but had to say what a great day it was....lousey weather, but a great run. 10 miles at just slower than marathon pace. I tried to go slow and easy, but the legs said go faster. :-P back to work now...
