Cold run in Milwaukee.  I wanted to get 8 out of this run but just too beat up on the legs to do it.  This marathon recovery is the hardest of the few I've been through.

Yes, I am still alive. I ran four miles today so I feel worthy to comment on some blogs.

Oh yeah and I don't see anyone else lined up to comment on your lame, one line blog entries.

Bring us some more philosophy, Churchill and T E Lawrence quotes, stuff like that.

Now that's the Rob I know...

I'm in survival mode, not worthy to spout wisdom, barely worthy to wear running shoes. This morning I wore a camo hunting shirt at the race that I got for elk hunting and narrowly avoided getting chicked running an 18 minute 5k.

But I am starting training and no more races until December 2.
