<p>Dave- really hope everything is ok. hang in there!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recovery 6 on tap for me. This week will be easier for me, more total miles, but more spread out.  those 4 7s wore me out last week.</p>

<p>Good morning Dave, BBS and 4BM.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dave-  I hope the back is o.k</p>
<p>BBS- have fun with the 6 miles.</p>
<p>4BM-  Enjoy the rest day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got out for 2 X 15 minutes of tempo.  Both felt nice and hard today.  I put in a good effort.  2.10 miles (7:10) pace for #1 and 2.11 miles(7:08) pace for the 2nd tempo. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now time to take kids to school and one to see the docter etc.....</p>

<p>Morning all, quick Monday post for me as it's busy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a rest day for me anyway. I'm beat after a long trail run Saturday and then playing all 90 minutes of our soccer match yesterday. Glad that season is over because it's been brutal; we were forced to play in a division way above our skill level and basically got our asses whooped every week, yesterday it was 10-0.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jill - to answer your question from Saturday...I am running the <a href="http://www2.thenorthface.com/endurancechallenge/races/2011/dc/index.html" target="_blank">North Face Endurance Challenge</a> DC Half Marathon on 6/5. For the most part it's run on the Potomac Heritage Trail in Virginia and that's where I trained Saturday. I think I veered off the course at some point and ended up on a Nature Conservancy trail, so I didn't quite get the "dress rehearsal" I was hoping for, but it was definitely a vigorous trail run, mud, rocks, roots, 14% switchback climbs/descents, and all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have good runs all, those who are getting out, or have a restful Monday.</p>

<p>I hit up the doctor's office this morning and came away with meds for a recurring sinus infection.  Hopefully that'll prevent my head from exploding and remove the lifeless feeling I've had for a while. I've been feeling tired, fat, slow and generally out of shape.  Ahhhh!!!   Maybe, just maybe I can get something in today.  However; chances of a good showing in my 10 mile race on Saturday are falling rapidly.  That kinda sucks... as does my mileage this month. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dave</strong> - Yikes!  Hope it's nothing serious.  Anything to do with jumping out of an airplane?</p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong>/<strong>4boysmom</strong> - rest up</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - nice job with the tempo intervals</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - easy does in with the mileage increase.  It takes me 3-4 weeks to get used to a higher volume.</p>

 

[Boyerdavea]

<p>Thanks everyone.  Nothing too serious, just tweaked it on Friday Swimming.  Doc seems think it was really due to the long run on Friday morning and dehydration.  Anyhow, maybe I should change my Friday swims after long runs. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Prescriptions:  Muscle Relaxers and stretching!  Just what I have been doing minus muscle relaxers. </p>

<p>RA-  I think I am in the same sickness situation as you, except for congestion.  Took my son in today and he got meds to keep him from getting pneumonia.  I sure hope both of us get better soon.  Although after one week of having this sickness I was back to running.  Makes me wonder what you and I will be doing running wise once we are not sick anymore. </p>

<p>Hi everyone.  I did a very pleasand slow 10.5 miles on the greenway this morning.  Ran into a running friend of mine and had a nice chat.  He's in his 70s and likes to travel to seniors competitions.  He mentioned thinking about getting a coach.  I hope I am still that hooked on running when I'm in my 70s.</p>

<p>5.5 trail miles for me this afternoon. Finally talked my running partner into trying trails so I took it easy on her. I'm hoping to get another trail run in tomorrow if it's not too rainy out. It'll be my last mid-week trail run until September when the kids go back to school </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dave</strong>, how's your back? What did the doctor say?</p>
