AM: The Olympics are sure playing a toll on my sleep... That being said there has been some great stuff. The men's 10K was great today. Got up early because I knew I had to get in extra miles today because this week is booked solid. It was great out the door my knee felt the best it has in over a week. I still kept it easy and did the Des 10K, Liberty, 17th loop. Mi 10-R3 Avg. 8:51

PM: After a very full day another home loop. I did a run that I had to turn every full block until I hit the main boundaries. I got stuck down some dead end streets but I got to see a lot that I didn't know was there. Mi 7-R1 Avg. 8:00

Wow, you are quite the runner, I would love to be getting those times. I hope to be like you when I grow up. Good luck running.

Keep up those 100 mile weeks injury free and it will come sooner than you think. It is great that you got it done in one-a-days.
