<p>Hi KS!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Roly....... cute avatar!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck, FO.... for both the 10K and the MRI.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Checked out another section of forest trail today for an easy 4 miles.  Don't think I'll keep it on my destinations list.... wide straight, mostly flat double track that was totally chopped up by horses hooves.  What little single track I could find was covered with horse poop.  Good thing I have plenty of other much better options.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Havea greta weekend everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>G/L to both Rip and FO in their races!</p>

<p>Hi Folks,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monkey or ape? (My anthropology degree is too old to tell from that picture...)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>tw, you love it. Who are you kidding! Enjoy the Claire visit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FO, that's some progression: rest, race, mri.  GL,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Anniversary Happy Feat! Tell that guy we think he's a lucky son-of-a-gun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soon I will feel a ripple in the Force when ksr and mrsksr enter New England. ks, is Julie running too?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had one of those magically easy runs today. 12 miles, 8:21 pace.  36F to start! This was the first run of the season with l/s and gloves. Anyway, I'm well aware that at this point in my taper I'm prone to going out too fast, so I was very conscious about maintaining a slow and easy pace. And yet the splits kept going down no matter how easy I coasted. A nice confidence booster. Greater Hartford Marathon, site of my 3:33:39 PR  (3 or 4 yrs old now) is next Saturday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Golf tournment at the club tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Thanks Mike; I'll do that!<span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></span></p>
<p>Beautiful run for you today. <span>Are you not just dying of nerves before your race next weekend??</span></p>
<p>Is it just me that does that? As usual, all those "tendonitis" pains and twinges pretty much evaporated after the HM; so they weren't "real" after all. In the two weeks prior, I swear I had the screaming meemies. I'd be wired for hours and then totally drained for the next few.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best of luck Rip and FO! Run FAST!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FO, if you can race, why are you getting an MRI? Was your X-ray normal?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TGIF everyone!</p>

<p>Hi all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks everybody for the good luck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope you have a great pre-MRI race FO</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My run was just the opposite of Mike's.  I was deciding whether to even do a run since I knew it was going to be easy anyway, but I felt pretty</p>
<p>good and the weather is fantastic so I stopped at the park on the way home.  From the first step, my breathing was labored, my knee hurt, and my lower back hurt.</p>
<p>Nothing loosened up much so I stopped at a little over 41 minutes.  I'll call it 5 miles.  That half marathon mudfest really beat me up as it was probably equal to 17 or 18 miles.</p>
<p>After the race sunday, I'll take a real easy week maybe not running at all to get rid of all the aches and pains.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Off to Chicago in the morning.</p>
