No time to recap, but yesterday's posts showed an appreciation of Jay and all his work for so long on getting the dailies started and doing such good recaps. Hard act to follow, for sure.
I got out this morning for 1.2 miles, but basically need to make a decision about this lingering butt/leg thing. It lets me run but it's not getting completely better. I'm not letting it really heal. I see the doc today, but I'm thinking I either need to only do a mile a day or stop completely until it truly is better. It's just hard to know. I sat on a pretty hard picnic bench for almost 3 hours (got up periodically) at the winery yesterday evening which didn't bother it while I was drinking wine, but might not have been the best thing....
Have a greta start to the week!
Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth

Tet-great summary. Jay couldn’t have done it better.
After a fun weekend I developed a pre-summer cold. Not fun. Despite that I went out early this morning for a 2.5 mile power walk. Now staying indoors in AC as the scorcher approaches.
Great job, tet! LOL, though. The guy pretty much broke up with my daughter yesterday, so he didn't join us. The religion thing was an issue, I guess. She's a priest and he's an atheist. Not like he didn't know what he was getting into. I have to wonder what SHE was thinking! She's very OK about it since the guy she likes best just got back from 6 weeks in New Zealand for a work project. He has won some Emmys as a puppet designer and manager (if that's what you call it when you work the puppets). She has a good attitude about the whole dating thing.
I had a good 9.3 mile run thru the neighborhoods this morning.

KSA - Sometimes the hardest thing is to just stop and let it heal. I keep tossing around in my brain "but it feels better today" "but if I only do this 'this' and not 'this' . . ." Then I think back to how bad it was before and I absolutely don't want to go there. I can handle a couple - or even a few - weeks without running. If I had to go months again like last year . . . . Also, if sitting on hard surfaces is an issue, try one of these. I have one at work and in my car. I don't go anywhere without it.
Tet - Doesn't yard work count as cross training?!??
45 min of core/ST this a.m., focusing on the hammies. Not if only I could get this nerve thing to calm down . . . .
LOTS and LOTS to do. Have a great week, friends ~~

Ksa__a fair number of folks seem to manage two religions in a relationship. One and none seems a bit trickier.
1 measly mile in LA just so everything vaguely remembers this running stuff. Weather is a BIT confused—high of 73 here and 93 back in Boston
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
....thanks tet//...........this could get Weird quick..........I Love It.........

..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
Well done tet and big big big thanks to Jay for all those wonderful summaries.
I'm with you Karen. I've decided to shut things down for a few days as this calf is now not very good.
Biz trip this afternoon.
Be well all.

stumpy- Yeah, she was certainly willing to date him and liked him a lot. I think being a priest is, well, a lot, even though Episcopalians are pretty chill and not particularly evangelical.
My doc really wants me to keep doing some running. He thinks it will help- but I really think I should just do a mile or so. He did the dry needling (which I hate) but it seems to have helped. Leslie- I do have that cushion. I also have this sort of donut shaped one that I keep in the car. It helps, too. Trying to stand more is the best thing.
Carolyn
Good luck to those of you trying to heal up!
Tet, I'm not sure I understood all of your post, but thanks for filling in for Jay!
My quads are kind of mad at me after Saturday's 32 mile race, so I'm taking a few easy days to recover. There are a couple long sections of very steep downhill where you have to brake while running, so it's a quad buster for sure, but I ran it pretty hard anyway, knowing I'd pay for it later. I wish there were some trails that steep around here for training, but I don't know of any. I posted a RR over in the RR thread. I'm still smiling from what a fun weekend it was with my friends!
It's funny how, during an ultra, you hit times where you think how dumb running is and how stupid you are for signing up, but when you finish, you feel so happy you'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
True dat!! Congrats on a fantastic race, Carolyn.
KSA - I have a Jarvis standing desk and love it. Mine is about 72" x 29". Easy to assemble, moves on hydraulics. It's what kept me able to continue working last year. Without it, I think I would have had to consider disability because it hurts so bad to sit. I still spend a significant part of my day standing.
Okay - It's been a very long day. I'm going home.
I like my standing desk, but I can't stand all day. Meetings do me in, too. This bout of the tendinopathy isn't nearly as bad as some I've had, but it's still not great.

My beloved Tetsujin, you did an amazing job with your recap. Thank you. While we all know that neither one of us could ever measure up to JAY, we MUST try our best to do a recap as we move forward. Thanks tapeboy for your first attempt.
As for me, it was 11 biking miles for my wings. I am trying to be VERY patient with my post injury come back...it is so hard...
