Rick, thank you for empathizing.

I've rested. I've had another Greek-style yogurt (Chobani blood orange, yum). Now, I'm off to eat brunch. I'm craving red meat, specifically lamb. I'll have to settle for beef.

It is tough, I know, I am coming back myself. The question one must ask is do they want to get it right now during the cold dreary off-season, or have it linger into Spring or possibly longer when races and beautiful days are plentiful. Sometimes a couple of days will suffice. Other times it's a couple of weeks. Or, if you have my luck, it could be a couple of months. Whatever the case, the number one priority is getting healed so that you can run, not hope that you can.

Okay, I promise I won't run this week. Damn you and your insight.
Do you even run?
Basya: What a run! And in that humidity???? You killed it!
17.4 miles, easy, done at 8:28 pace. It was a pretty fantastic run, actually. I forgot what a difference actually running your recovery days at recovery pace makes on the quality days. I finished up the week with 80.1 miles and healthy. It was a good week! Training starts tomorrow.
Hi dailies, lots of coffee goin' on this AM...
Baboon - enjoy the bachelor weekend
Rick - those turkeys look like dinner waiting to happen
Basya - great distance, in poor conditions
Scotty - nice, more dinner on legs
Heidi - great run and great weekly total
18.3 today, 7:04 pace. Almost 60 degrees and dry in January, amazing day to run.
Last night I did 10 with 10x strides shortly after DW and I heard coyotes in the area -- she was worried. I think a whole day of reassuring her that they won't attack me has helped a little. Someone's dog did go for a few hundred meters with me today in the park, all the while the owner trying to catch and leash it. He almost did a face plant in some wet leaves and I managed to keep a serious face on until I was well past them.
Jay: What a run! Well done! Watch out for those coyotes - eeekkk!

Had a pretty successful recovery run today. Was going to only run 3-4 miles but ran with a couple friends whom I have never run with before instead. They had me running faster than I probably should have but it felt good. Then I did a dvd yoga workout with DD2 which kicked my butt because I am not bendy nor do I have upper body strength. But I am working on it.

I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
OMG! You guys are killing your runs today! Way to go!!
I checked the weather before I dressed for my run. Temperature was 34 so I opted to save my one long sleeve tech shirt for Tuesday when it's supposed to be in the mid 20s. I ran 6.51 of my fastest miles ever (averaged 10:07) and returned a Popsicle - the wind chill was 23 with 19 mph winds! That's pretty freaking chilly in these parts!!
Have a Pinklightful Sunday evening all!
But The Smile That I Sent Out Returned With You.
Pinktastic, you flew through those 6.51!
SIAR, beef fry is a beef alternative to bacon.

Did 10 in 1:12:31. This wound up being a fartlek type thing. Threw in around 8 surges ranging from about 100 to 300 meters at around 5 min/mile, and ran the last half mile progressively hard.

8.5 miles today around Lake Tabeaud...Tore me up. This was my first time out at the lake since last fall. The trail was a mix of ice, mud, and horse manure...ugh. Needless to say, I didn't make good time and I'm feeling it too. Average pace of around 10:04 (I'll have to verify once I download the Garmin).
