Thanks, Missy! How is your SF recovery going?

backroadrunner (Eryn) is planning to do a 15k she discovered up near her folks' place...assuming her thumb is OK. She sliced it bad--down to the bone--at work yesterday. I talked to her on the phone last night and she tried to run, but it made her thumb throb, so she decided to take the night off.

My 15K is a week from today, so I'm going to assume I'll be fine. It hurts like hell right now, as I went back to work today. I did it Thurs afternoon, took Fri off. I haven't run since my little mishap as it throbs when I put it below my shoulder. I was thinking of doing 13-15 miles today, but I finally got out of work & now we're having a thunder storm. Lightning seems to ruin all my runs.

I'm starting to stress a little. My mileage has been pretty shitty the last few weeks due to weather, time, kids, now my thumb. With only 6 wks left, I need to get my butt in gear!

thanks missy. this 5k was the only race I wanted to win this yr.The 5k was a memorial race for Officer Shawn Silvera, a h.s. classmate of mine that was intentionally hit by a pursued mf'er while Shawn was laying down spikes on the hwy. An ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly murder. Shawn had two small kids and a wonderful wife. It's a really small race (about 200 people) and I wanted to post a time that would distinguish the small race from the multitude of others in the state (16:30 wins most small races). I ran 15:36 for the win. Going to post sub 15 next year!!!!

Jeff, HUGE congrats on your win...and for such a good cause. My heart aches for the families and loved ones of officers killed in the line of duty. I hope this race was a little bright spot in their lives.

eryn, im sending some quick thumb healing vibes your way! i'm sure it will be fine in time for your race.

kirsten, the recovery is going well. i've now been at 45-50 mpw for 6 weeks essentially pain-free.. so i'm feeling very fortunate. i will begin training for the philly marathon beginning this week. thanks for asking Big grin when is your 20 scheduled for?

jeff, what a wonderful tribute to your friend. talk about running for a cause.. good for you Smile sub 15 is definitely in your horizon.. way to go!!

Next week some time...hopefully the day after Labor Day. DS has only a half day of school (he's down at a charter school near DH's work), so if DH can't take a half day to bring him home, then I will probably do it on Weds. of that week.

Looks like your mileage and lack of pain is a VERY good sign of race success. What sort of mileage peak are you looking at pre-race?
