| Work related goose egg. But as Allie pointed out, a goose egg does not kill you. Plus this is my step back week. This is week 18 since I started "running" again. Still a long way to go but if the next 18 wk are as good as the last I will be ready for a spring marathon!!! |

| Well the hard work yesterday paid off and I was very happy with the lecture I gave. I slept in an extra hour this morning so moved my run to the evening. The Garmin crashed again so it does look like I'll have to get a new one :(... Just did the home loop. I pushed it some but was done by the end. It was cool, TWC had 33F wc, but it didn't feel that cold even with the slight drizzle. |

| Knee a little sore this AM. May have been the freezing temp. Just did the direct commute run in. Only planning about 15 mi this week for my step back week. Current plan is to increase ~10 mi for every 8 wk block +/- ~5 mi/wk with the 9th week at 1/2 the average of the previous 8 wk. Did I loose you? |
