<p>Hi Gang,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ks almost put me to sleep there...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ahem, anyway, I'm here to report 8 miles, 6 at MP, 8:29 overall avg. Legs felt a bit fatigued due to last night's gym w/o, but it was all good. Upper 60's and humid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>55F, Johnny? Sounds downright cold!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OM - you out there? Wassup?</p>

<p>It was 55° here too Johnny....In my refrigerator!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actually I ran a little behind today and finally got out to run at 4 pm.  80° and the sun was beating down.  I was going to do a little in the state park and then do a road loop, but the shade felt much better.  I wore my garmin for the first time at the state park and was pretty surprised at the results.  The first surprise was how slow my pace was.  I ran 7:50 on the roads to get there and then ran 8:30, 8:21, 8:16, 8:56, and 8:38.  The last mile and a half in town was about 7:20 pace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What was more surprising was the ascent and descent numbers.  The total for 7.5 mile was 2,132 feet!!  One mile alone (the 8:56) was over 500 feet gain and 400 feet loss.  If my math is correct, that would make the uphills about 18% incline.  I know some may even be steeper than that because years ago, they put wood in to make steps so it was easier to get up the hill for the hikers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No doubt over the years I have probably overestimated the miles I ran there so I'll have to take a hundred off my lifetime total.<span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Made me smile with that, KS <span><img alt="love2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love2.gif"></span></p>
<p>Actually it's only 7:15 pm right now, but I'm done with my easy 4 miler and promise to hit the hay sooner than later.</p>
<p>Thanks for the vibes. I actually did get almost 6 hours last night and felt more human today, but will do what I can to get even more tonight.</p>

<p>TW - it's been an interesting and rewarding comeback. I've learned alot about listening to my body and making adjustments. It was the first time I had to actually stop running for a couple weeks straight -  incomprehensible to me at the time (a diehard compulsive runner) - but was the only way to get the symptoms under control. Then for months I could only run if I ran extremely slow and only every other day. I've had some minor relapses, but I know what to do and not do now. I'm thrilled to be running four and five days in a row now, and finally working on pace and distance. </p>
