<p>Not much for me last week as I was still recovering from the hammy pull...lots of elliptical, lots of walking (with some short pieces of running mixed in).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Feeling much better this week and I think I've put the injury behind me. It took two weeks to heal - that was about what I expected.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will slowly ramp the running back up this week, just easy runs, no speed until next week. Then I can hopefully get back on the training program.</p>

<p>Last week's 14 miler went well, and the tempo went kind of well.  I ran tempo pace by feel, and it was slower than I'd like, but no worse than I should expect given my level of fitness.  I ended up running 34ish miles rather than the 42 that the schedule called for. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last week mr jebba spent many days out of commission with a virus.  I am just now catching it, so I have no major goals for this week.  Just keep running, is my only plan.  I hope to be back to my regular schedule next week.</p>

<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - glad that hammy is starting to come around.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Jebba</strong> - I hope whatever is going through your house leaves quickly and without too much of an impact.</p>

<p>Last week was a cut back week for me for Tough Mudder Wisconsin.  That was a good thing too because it was crazy hot and humid here.  Race day was no different - it was 75 degrees and 94% humidity at 6:00 am.  Our race wave started at 9 and we finished just before noon (when it was close to 100 degrees).  Holy cow was that race fun!  And honestly much harder than I had expected.  I've done mud runs before, but this race is not exaggerating when it dubs itself "Probably the Toughest Race on the Planet."  I am 3 days out and still wicked sore from head to toe.</p>

<p>I was bummed I couldn't do the Capital Mile on Sunday, but my body was simply wrecked.  The boys did it and both improved by over a minute from last year: DS#1: 6:19; DS#2: 7:24.  Very cool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week I am building in more recovery than I initially anticipated, but next week I should be up to heavy miles again.</p>

<p>Cool stuff, <strong>runninlaw</strong>, your boy's times are awesome!    You look much muddier than the other two    No time to post stats, but my week was pretty much the usual stuff with 55-60 miles including an interval workout and a long run.   So far so good this week.</p>

Yeah, the boys are getting fast.  We are running a 5K this weekend - cannot wait to see how DS#1 does.  He has gotten a lot faster this year.<br>
 </p>
<p>Me muddier?  Yeah, unfortunately I went down (HARD) in the "Electroshock Therapy" obstacle and they did not.  My kids desribe it as me falling and face planting in a muddy hay bale.  Crazy stuff.<span style="display:none;"> </span></p>
