They make you want to run through the jungle...cover countryside at a clip, slide by in the night like a scuttling cloud....They make you bolt awake in the middle of the night with an involuntary shot of your own true adrenaline, ready to run a hundred miles; we're talking when you're there, now, really there, four-minute shape or better. They make you jittery with the smell of forest, ready to hurdle fallen trees, run down game, leave gore in the bushes.....And then when you get them all reigned in they make you lay back in the pack, coasting three laps on an old melody...and then they make you wail out of the final turn and blow down the last godamn straightaway like the midnight trail to hell!" -<br>

Thanks you for stepping in and doing such a fantastic job, Aija!<br><br>
This week is still a bit of a puzzle, just like the last two were. Final touches on DD1's college stuff, orthodontic appointments, volleyball practices, basketball games and on and on it goes. But through it all I would like to do something like this:<br><br><b>Mon</b>- 45min elliptical, hip rehab. During the day I noticed a small lump on my neck; assuming it's a lymphnode, I am not too worried as I'm feeling a little flu-ish and kids are sick, too.<br><b>Tues</b>- 3:08mi run<br><b>Wed</b>- zip. Work, then helping DD1 with applications and portfolio. The neck lump is bigger and very tender.<br><b>Thurs</b>- 3.45mi, yoga<br><b>Fri</b>- chiro. Starting to feel sick as lump on my neck continues to grow, so visit MD who started me on antibiotics.<br><b>Sat</b>- worked, then to the doc again, as I am feeling worse. Getting freaked out. Rx for bloodwork and ultrasound is given, will get on with it on Monday.<br><b>Sun</b>- No run. Feeling tired and slept through the large part of the afternoon.<br><br><b>Total: 45min elliptical, 6.5mi run and 1x yoga.</b><br><br>
Well, see what gives...<br>

Ooooh, I'm gonna bop perchcreek for his insouciance at the kinda week I drool over doing for myself. Beware the Bop, Vanmate. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Trooth be told, I learned from Aija (and others) on how to do a Weekly. Aija has always found the bestest pics and quotes. Oh, and Johnny, Aija cannot not only fill my shoes (figuratively <i>and</i>, snork, literally) but the shoe doth overflow with Aija's panache and creativity.<br><br>
I have a woosy week upcoming, but I guess I'm due. I wanted to tell willdebeest that you're doing awright. Better numbers than I put up a month ago.<br><br>
And rassmussy Mike, your running just plain makes me ... zzzzzzzz... Wowzie. <b>ETA</b>: And I don't mean <i>bored</i> -- oh, gawd no -- it tuckers me out. Whoa!<br><br>
Okay, wish my legs would hurry up and catch up with my CV system. Stepback week.<br><br><b>Total:</b> 4 mi rowing, strength/core

Aija... I did put my total for last week in on Sunday... but maybe I was on the late bus? Hmmm, anyhoo, it was 45.8, pretty much just running. This week is up in the air with some personal stuff going on, but we'll see what happens.<br><br>
Monday: XT day...... Bleh, ended up with nada.<br>
Tuesday: 5 w/3@10k pace....5.53 miles total, but only 2.5@10k pace, 1% incline<br>
Wednesday: 9 w/3@MP....10.53 mile progressive temp run, 8:49 to start, 8:00 peak.<br>
Thursday: 5 EZ..........5.3 EZ pace<br>
Friday: rest day.........Hey, I actually took a scheduled rest day!<br>
Saturday: 9..............9 Miles, and yep they had hills<br>
Sunday: 19................20 miles with mild temps (-4 to + 7 at end), some hills, some snow... legs tired now!<br><br>
Total for the week: 50.2 miles running, about 2.5 miles walking, not much anything else other than puttering around the house. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br>
(Highest mileage week since last July... longest long run since Carlsbad Marathon on 1/20)
