<p>Resting here today.  Ran 75 miles in 6 days last 2 weeks.   Sun is out now and mid to upper 80's today.  Summer is around the corner. Our spring ususally lasts a full week. </p>

<p>Hi all......Kick is loading real fast today, wonder if they did something to it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>10 mile easy LR in town, followed by weights at the gym. I just hit a milage PR for the month of Feb. (112) after hitting one for the month of Jan. (148). Looking at my log I see I can easily keep doing this until June. I think I'll give it a try. I saw this dude at the gym this morning, I've seen him before but never really noticed. Talk about a muscle imbalance. This guy had upper arms the size of my thighs, and calves smaller than mine. Dude I think you gotta work the whole body.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Congrats <strong>rip</strong> on the hardware & overall award. Enjoy the H & H in Florida too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi back at ya <strong>KS</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a nice visit with your friend <strong>Heme</strong>, great run yesterday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wow <strong>TW</strong>, that little Claire is growing up fast, she'll be breakin hearts before too long. Obviously though, she's gettin her good looks from the Pickles side of the family.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice long run the other day <strong>Happy Feat</strong>.....sounds like you hit your overall pace, some were a little faster, some a little slower.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Envious of <strong>Orange Mat</strong> on the desert isle, not so much the rain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What dualthon you plannin on doing <strong>Opie</strong>??</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Ran 3 recovery miles today under clear skies. Temps in the low 30's.  We've had a ton of snow recently but not this weekend. The roads are pretty clear and safe for running.</p>

<p>Resting today but I've been pretty gun ho on the XT lately, and for the second time this week, my RHR was in the mid-40's so I'll take it!  Johnny, I'm looking at this <a href="http://www.draperdu.com/" target="_blank">duathlon</a> which has a variety of courses, on and off-road, and as you can see, the hard course was the National Championship last year.  I would do the short on-road course.  The off-road course is actually a pretty good place for a trail run, too, as I've done in the past.  I hope to get clip-in shoes this week and Paul has been kind enough to loan me an extra road bike he has.  My old department-store bike won't cut it.</p>

Looks cool....that 43 mile bike seems awful long for a 5K run though. Good luck. Tinker AFB is where my daughter works when she's in OK city, and also where her big M/IC employer is building their new office, but then you probably already knew that.<br>

<p>Tinker is one of the big employers here.  Actually, the long du course is a 10k/69k or 43 mi./10k and the short course is considered a traditional sprint 5k/24k/5k.  I also have the option of a longer ride at the Hotter 'N Hell races in Wichita Falls, Tx in August.</p>
