AM - Met Sasha at 6:30 for an easy run. I had no plan distance wise and was just going to run by feel. The legs are sore and stiff but once we got going they were ok, still sore and stiff but managable. We ran 8 miles averaging about 8:10 overall with a very slow start and actually ran the last mile in 7:01 and did not realize that we had picked it up. I will be sore and stiff most of this week but it seems like it will be managable at least. My neck, left shoulder, back, right forearm and head are very sore and bruised from the accident but don't seem to bother me when running at least. I have discovered a few more bruises and sore spots that I did not know about at first. I may or may not run a mile or two with the kids tonight, we will see how I feel.

No PM run. I tried to run with Jared and James and it was too painful so I just let them run.

I am glad you are okay after that wreck. I am sure that the Lord was blessing you and I am glad he did. Don't overdue it after those two physical and mental stressors.

I hope you heal quickly from the wreck and the marathon. I am glad you made it safely back to Elizabeth and your boys.
