Thanks- wish I felt like it! I've been struggling with the hot weather and feeling really sluggish and slow lately. Cut back my mileage to ~25 last week after running 30+ for four weeks straight (basically just cut out my long run). This week isn't looking too promising so far, 5 easy yesterday and only 1 today because I was wiped out from moving furniture around all day at work. Guess that counts as a strength workout.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

I hear you on the sluggish and the heat. Dealing with the same things here what with Texas summer approaching and just getting back to the training after a month's layoff. I would definitely count moving day as a strength workout!

Run to Win25 Marathons, 17 Ultras, 16 States (Full List)
Last two weeks: 5/5/2008 — 5/11/2008: 25.3 miles (cutback week) 5/12/2008 — 5/18/2008: 34.9 miles Thanks for the heat advice. It's been getting too hot to run long in the afternoons, so I hooked up with a local group that meets on Sunday mornings to do long runs together. Mostly marathoners (including a sub 3 hour, 15-16 minute 5K guy) and a few triathletes. We ran about 10.3 miles at a 8:35 pace, a little faster than my normal easy and long run pace (~9:15) but I had no problem finishing it and felt good afterwards. Going to continue meeting up with them throughout the summer and maybe the fall. They've got me thinking about running a half-marathon later this year!
