Holly.. as always.. THANKS! I think I'll post as we go this week since I'm still hobbling at the start of running and then things get going good. Hopefully the soleus strain will resolve soon (it's week 5 so by the end of week 6 it "should" be pain free) Mon - Rest ( 2 mi walk) Tues - 8 miles (2 slow warmup 10:30 pace then 6 miles at 8:27) Wed- 10 miles (2 slow warmup 10:30 pace then 8 mile progresstion 9:38-8:01) Thu - recovery (4 mi slow with Tory same 'ol hobble, hobble, better, better..) Fri - run in rain? (yup 8 mi in nor-easter incl 6 mi GA at 8:35 pace) Sat - recovery/x-train (4 slow miles) Sun - Long 20+ (did it, not pretty with hooomid conditions 20 mi in 3:09:25 .. leg held up) Total: we'll see maybe 50's Actual 54 miles... rough week nursing injury.

I'm doing too much nursing right now to run 40 miles, but I got close. 37.5 miles with 3 really great Quality runs: 1. 12x400 with 90 seconds between. Got them down to 6:41 at the end! 2. 8 miles with 3 miles at Tempo. Nailed the pace on this one 3. 15 miles at 8:56 min/mile pace Kewl. Bill
