Got invited to Bear Lake with Walter and his fam and spent the day there.  Awesome!  Came back and got my last good run done for the week.  I've been tired of hearing so much lately about being careful about running too much and keeping your mileage down when you are master runner.  I had to take this week and burn that fear out for myself before starting to train for Twin cities in the fall.  Getting a hip muscle tear was no help for that either.  I think injuries happen, and it's hard to quantify why, but I have found for myself it's not about the time you spend running each week, it's about how you recover and pushing too hard when your body may be on the edge.  Sometimes it's a roll of the dice.

Very solid week of running Steve, good work. You are looking stronger all the time and putting in some unbelievable mileage. It's all going to pay off in a huge PR soon.

Just an impressive week. Looking forward to running with you at TCM.

I have a hotel reservation already if you want to split a room!
