12.2 mile run this morning around the overpass loop. Nothing really amazing going on, other than it's a little chilly all of the sudden. My hamstring has been feeling better but not good so I'll try and see April this weekend. 

One last dentist note. After pulling my bad tooth the other day and looking things over he said he couldn't believe that I wasn't sick. Because the tooth it's self was full of so much infection he said my body should have been braking down more... and only because I was running and so healthy did I avoid that fate. He also mentioned several times that had I taken care of this issue earlier this year when it first started to really hurt I would have run faster in my workouts and races this summer. He wasn't joking about it either.

So thats my solace for this years not-so-good racing performances. Now if I can fix this hamstring problem maybe I'll put together a very nice 2009?  

10.1 mile run this evening with the club. We did the 7 mile loop from the store and then Dave and I extended a little down to the Pizza Factory roundabout and back. A little chill in the air but overall great running weather. The time change sucks and now we run in the dark for club runs.

I think your dentist has a good point. I think you Ran awesome this year. I had a new PR in every race distance except the marathon this last year. We will both break new pr's next year. hope all is well with your family. your running well right now.

Jeez dude. I thought you were taking it easy for year. What happened to 70 miles/week?

Paul- I don't know... With time time I have on my hands it's hard to not run. Plus I decided I may as well push out some good mileage and finish off 2008 strong. You know set a bench mark for yearly mileage for my son. Then come 2009 maybe just try to do some quality stuff at around 75-95 miles per week. But like I said at the start IDK?

Paul... Clyde told us this last night and we all just laughed. We knew it was coming. And now he says he will just keep it chill next year? I think I'll take the over!
