<p>Hey all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Long time no post...Internet access, at least by phone, is sometimes hard to come by in Vermont.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, last time you heard from me I was possibly coming to my senses and realizing I wasn't up to a half marathon just yet and that maybe I would drop down to the accompanying 5k race. All of which means, of course, that I ran the half.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I ran it well, under the circumstances. The time of 1:41:56 is a mere shadow of what I can do at my best but I took it as a training run, ran at a relaxed effort the whole way, and the knee didn't act up once. For those reasons I was positively thrilled with how things went. Really it felt like I was rewarded for having the courage to stick to my guns after all. Oh and DW ran the 5k so it was a good day all around.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recovering pretty well now, not surprising given it wasn't an all-out effort. Planning on a swim today. Back to running tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - have a blast with those trails</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - those are a couple of mighty long rides. Fatigue perhaps?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - smokin' HM time. Wow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - well done on the 5</p>
