<p>Hi Happy Feat</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I normally don't take any time off either.  Last time I did was several years ago due to an injury.  I was out at least 6 weeks.   This time I feel I've really made some good progress since summer is over and I want to just absorb what I've gained and then recharge the mind and body.  I think I've got some good racing years left and I've got to get the most out of them,   My 1/2 age graded over 79% last week and would have been over 80 % if conditions would have been better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't start the thread tomorrow.  Have to run early and then a funeral service that will take away the whole morning and part of the afternoon.  I'll check later in the day Wed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ran ez 5.5 miles this morning.  Got a few sprinkles at 3 miles and then it stopped.   Mosquitos are back!   Rained pretty nicely for a few minutes after i got home.  Need.more.rain.please</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got to get some work done so check ya laters.</p>

<p>6 miles for me tonight and 2 lessons learned: NEVER shorten the warmup and start SLOW.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I was feeling overconfident after how great last nights run was; so I decided to shorten my warmup to just one mile instead of two and started about 20 seconds faster to boot!</p>
<p>Well right off, my right AT and calf were <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> pleased. It took until the third mile when I was actually "warmed up" before things calmed down. I was kinda tired too, so the whole run was just completely different than last night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The good news of the day is I discovered the "marble" in the side of my neck that's responsible for my headaches lately and have been massaging and stretching and just feel a whole lot better tonight.  Even better, my massage therapist finally called me tonight and I have an appt for Thursday. Sooo happy about that!</p>

<p>Is your TM programmable Rip?  I'm so not surprised you couldn't watch tv during your workout today<span><img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1323834012542_161" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> - pretty technical and challenging if you ask me. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Sounds like good timing, Johnny. Your Garmin will arrive back when your ankle is ready to rock and roll again.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope the orthopod gives you the "all clear" tomorrow FO. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.</p>
