| Legs and knee pretty sore. But otherwise ok. Looking more closely at yesterday's performance I took from it what I could and know more for next time. Now into the double digits and still learning... Overall good day. Slept in, then church, then some errands... | |

| I had a horrible night's sleep. First, I was thinking too much about the race then I was just restless. I pretty dazed and confused Monday overall. The knee pain has already subsided and I'm going down stairs without a hitch so overall quick recovery. There is a slight pain in the outside of my left foot that I'll have to watch. | |

| Slept better last night but up early for work today. Just did the commute run in. Even the foot pain feels a little better. I was definitely crawling into work this morning but felt fine physically just sleepy... Avg. 11:02 no kidding |

Daja vu all over again. Easing back into a routine is about as exciting as tapering... I've been occupying my time with planning the next marathon. I seem to have a need to have that next date on my calendar. For a number of reasons I've decided on Salt Lake City again. I know there is Ogden around the same time and I came very close. However, I had a great experience in '08, it is close to home so my family can easily cheer, and I can train on the course. Commute run in.
I forgot to mention I also looked ahead and I should complete by trip around the world the last week of Oct/first week of Nov. I have 172 miles to go today and am planning a very light mileage Oct...

| I thought about cutting and pasting one of my previous postings from this week. But then I realized that I switched up the mileage so opted against it :). The other runs were 2.6 for two reasons. One I thought it was funny that my daily runs were 1/10th the race on Sat and two I had to clean up the mileage on my spreadsheet to get to even halves so that I will know when I complete my circuit of the world. Just another commute run it. Have a great weekend everyone. |

| Good weekend so far. My grandparents are visiting from Chicago. Yesterday was a carnival at our church and then they watched our girls while Sandra and I went out to dinner to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.Today was just lounging around the backyard and playing with the girls.
