Oh I did not sleep well last night. I turned and toss with uncomfortable bitching legs. Today will be better. I woke-up with an email from coach asking how I was feeling. I had asked some questions about phases. Basicaly was told I've done enough aerobic work the last three years (most of you know I've done 98% base work in my running carreer and the other 2% races.) and it's time to add some specific training. I'm just loving having specific guidiance.

Sorry you didn't sleep well Bugs!! got 10 miles in. Going to pick ds from school for doctors appointment.

A little tired today. I actually feel pretty good after my recovery run. Throwing a few elements in to force me to run slow. Extra clothes, no sleep, tired legs, and a full tummy. Worked. Ran a 10:24 pace.

glad to hear it!

it was my hands.

So now Shan is wearing tight shoes on her hands? I give up... Kimmie, that goes under the category of "life isn't fair," but it still sucks. Hope you get better soon. Your race is behind you, you did awesome, pressure is off. Take the time to be good to yourself and recover. I've been very lucky the last couple of years with not getting very sick. The worst two times I can remember was last July... I got sick right before 4th of July and ruined my weekend and my training for the upcoming HM, and the Christmas before that. Totally put the crapper on my Christmas break and training for Carlsbad. My body is very considerate of my employer's needs. Only gets sick on holidays and vacations. Bugs, that is nice to have the direction a coach gives. Sometimes I think I'd like that instead of trying to plan it all out for myself, but I'm relying on pretty good resources to come up with my plan, and so far so good. But it would be nice to have someone say "you've worked hard enough on that, time to take it easy for a bit." Hope your legs recover well. Off to do a little recovery run at the gym. We didn't get as much snow as forecast but we did get quite a bit (for us). Still having flurries throughout the day today and windy, which is unusual for us, so I'm watching the snow go sideways past my window. Blech. I'm driving to the gym!

Just had a nice 4 miler. Now, for some Friday night time with the kids while my wife is off to a Pampered Chef party. Looking forward to a long run around 10 miles tomorrow.

I love Pampered Chef.... Bryan, you did 515 pushups this morning?? Why? How?? 3.32 mile recovery run today at lunchtime on the TM. *Yawn*
