Saw the Bill Cosby bit the other night when they were honoring him on with the Mark Twain Award. I remember as a kid listening over and over to the album "Why Is There Air?"
Well, another lesson learned for me today. Of course I've known forever that I would have today off work. One would think that I would be smart enough to say, "Hey! I'll do my 20-miler on Wednesday instead of having to do it at Conference over the weekend!" Well, I didn't think about that until my buddy suggested it last night. I had a pretty exhaustive XT day yesterday, but I thought, "What the heck. Let's give it a try anyway." Well . . . . I made it 12.5 miles today. My legs were beat up. My quads hurt so stinking bad, there was no way I could do anymore climbing. If I could've run on a rolling trail, I know I could've finished, but the climbing - ugh! Now I'll have to gut it out down in Rancho Cordova, either on the road or on a treadmill. {sigh}

Teresa, sorry to hear about your SIL. How on earth did they find this problem when she went in for her elbow?
Francesca, congrats on your 3rd place HM finish - very speedy!
Hi Tina!
Larry, nice tempo effort - I think you'll do greta at your 8k!
Twocat, so sorry to hear the doc's news of continued non-running. You'll have to make do with baking muffins for 6 more weeks.
I had a nice wave run at lunchtime. It was a beautiful sunny day and I wanted to do some speed work, but when I got out there it was 68° and I was afraid I would melt like the wicked witch if I ran fast. So I did a slow mile, then picked it up to see how I felt, and I didn't feel any hotter, so ended up doing 6.4 miles with miles 2,4, and 6 faster. Paces were:
11:08, 9:35, 11:11, 9:30, 10:59, 9:23, 10:30 last 0.4. Felt good! Took my shirt off after mile 2.
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
Deez4Boyz, if you have your Garmin set to Auto-Lap every mile (your mile beeps) then it will capture the miles automatically. No need to push any lap buttons.
