I think bib #115 is seriously checking you out... 

LOL I think I know that guy! I've seen that look before.

Well I probably won't hit 100% for Team World but I'll be fairly close. 22 might have been a lot for my first month really coming back to running. So far I've hit 15/22. I'll prob be close to 19/22 by Monday! I'm on call 2x this weekend on Fri and Sun but hopefully I can convince myself to get it done early incase the hospital gets busy!!!!

I am lovin' the 3-2-1 plan!  I am running my longest distances ever with no walk breaks and my "fast" day paces are dropping to close to my best times from a couple of years ago when I was training consistently!  My only struggle is running slow enough on recovery days - that is the hardest!

Finally feeling better! I got a 6.5k run in tonight followed by 45 minutes in the weight room. It has been since January since I have had so much time off...it feels GREAT to be back.

GO NORTHEAST!

2nd day back and did another 2 miles for you peeps.

Have fun!

Awesome! Is everything still feeling good?

I love Yellowstone and the Tetons are amazing. Have you seen any bears yet?

Whew! I'm almost there. I did 6.25 tonight. I'll take a rest from running tomorrow and bike instead. Saturday morning I have a 5k to run, which will put me at 100%. I'm hoping to run the course (a local trail) two or three times while I'm there.

The run tonight was great. It's a route I do a lot, and for the first time while running, I lost track of where I was. I looked up and saw this building and said, "What the heck is that???" And then I realized that without even being aware of it, I had made a turn -- when I was supposed to -- but I had lost track of time so severely that I was a full 1/2 mile farther than I thought I was. That was kind of a good feeling.

It was cold and clear, so the stars were brilliant. I turned off my running light, and I could see the milky way. Sometimes I love Kansas.

Yay!

OK, got to the doc today. It's confirmed. I'm sick (Thank you, Dr. Obvious!). Apparently I'm not feeling so hot because I'm running around with an elevated temp. I'm dumb like that. Got some antibiotics. Hopefully will get my 11 miler done tomorrow.

That's paradoxical, isn't it?

Yes, I think it is...

22nd session done - 2.5 mile recovery run 

5k tomorrow and sprint tri on Sunday puts me at 100% with a day to spare...  Come on Midwest - lace'em up and get out the door these last 4 days!

Nice job getting out there.

Great area for a hike. We were in Yellowstone this past summer. Wish we could have made it down to the Grand Tetons. Hiking in that area can be harder than doing a run.

You answered no, right?

Well I won't be making my goal for team SE.  Got back from a business trip late last night and was all set in getting in the runs I needed today thru Monday.  Instead I go to get into bed at 1:30 AM and somehow slipped.  I  smashed my big toe into the bed rail and snagged the nail, ripped it back so that it was standing straight up.  Yeah ouch!  Can't wear shoes right now and doc said I probably won't be running for about a week.

I did count my pulse last night at one point to be 44 based on the throbs per minute as I laid in bed at 3am with my foot up on a pillow!

Donto I am cringing over here just reading about that, that sucks!

I got in 8k today so I now have less than 17k to go, easy peasy...sickness can't keep me down!

For the class of 1983 I was voted "Most Accident Prone", some things haven't changed!!!

Great job getting in the km's
