<p>Morning, folks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't make it in here yesterday b/c I was busy.  But great job, <strong>Duck</strong>, on Boston!  <span><img alt="icon_thumleft.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif" style="width:22px;height:20px;"></span>  Sounds like a great trip and great experience.  I had EXACTLY the same thing happen with me just before the finish (right calf seized up).  Fortunately after a couple steps it went away for me too.  Although you finished a couple minutes faster than me and ran a smarter race.  :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BOB</strong> - supah excited for your race.  Any updates on the weather?  After some crappy cold snowy rainy days here, the sun is finally shining.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have 8 with 3 x 1 mile repeats tonight.  Was supposed to do it yesterday, but was super busy at work and then opted to go to happy hour with DH instead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good news: already lost another pound this week.  I love that about taper.  Why is it that I always drop 2-3 lbs just by cutting back on mileage?  Anyone know?  I still eat the same....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and last question: are you feeling better <strong>Timr</strong>?  I still have a head cold, but I am hoping it leaves soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>EDITED TO ADD:</strong>  Already checking the weather reports for Eugene.  It is way too early, but I can, so I am.  :)</p>

<br><br><p>Can I quote you and say that is exactly how felt this morning?  I did not even want to get out of the freaking bed. Just a major case of the blahs.   <span><img alt="hmh.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hmh.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>So as to know miss a workout, tonight after work I am going to ride the bike for an hour (my regular Friday exercise).  Then tomorrow morning I can go run the 2 miler from today. </span></p>

<p>Since I was a bum and did not complete any fitness I will pass on a sports play from 45 minutes down the road that made national sports headlines:</p>

<p>I made an executive decision. After lunch I drove home and packed my running gear and brought it to work. At 5 I am going to go knock out my scheduled 2 miler (instead of skipping it and doing it tomorrow).  I have felt so blah all day long.  Maybe the run will snap me out of the mood.  There is a nice refreshing misty rain out there now at 60 degrees.  I bet it would actually feel really good!</p>

<p>Phew.  Just got back from the run.  Super conditions but I simply have no energy when I run after work.  I figure it is probably because of my horrible diet.  However my legs, specifically my knees, felt good.  Normally when I run after work my knees just bail on me from the start.  That was encouraging.  Despite the great cool weather and the short distance I was taxed a bit.  Again probably due to low energy.  I was sweating more than a 5 miler for me.  Oh well.  It's done.  It's in the books and I am glad I didn't wimp out and skip running today.  Gotta win these little battles if I want to get better.</p>
