I was really tired when I woke up this morning and my stomach felt a little unsettled.  Finally convinced myself to drive up to the rec center so I could get in 9 miles before the club run.  During the first mile, I had a lot of aches and pains that flared up.  My groin was really bothering me (no Kathie it was not a burning sensation).  After the first mile everything started to feel better.  I maintained a relatively easy, steady pace.  Met with the club and ran 6.2 more miles.  Jim wanted to run some hills in preparation for WBR so we ran from the rec center up to Davis Boulevard.  I actually felt really good during this part of the run.  Going uphill was work but it felt good.  Coming back down, I felt pretty comfortable even though we were pushing the pace in some sections.

Sorry to hear of the aches and pains. But awesome job on the run. And to feel so strong at the end is even that much better.

I was going to ask you about you hamstring at the meeting today but I figured no one else would get the joke so I just giggled to myself!

You did a great job today! I am glad to hear you may be racing again soon. I was also glad to hear how you struggled during you first marathon too. It made you almost human (normally I think of you as Super Human)

Thanks again for all the marathon wisdom you gave us today!

Thanks Kathie. It didn't go as well as I had planned. I had all these things that I wanted to say but as soon as I opened my mouth all of my thoughts got jumbled together.

Mark - Things are finally starting to feel right again. Now if I could only get everything else in my life to feel this good. One thing at a time, right?
