6.5 mile run this morning. Up around GS. I love that loop. Legs felt a little tight but under the circumstances very runable. I should have stretched on Sunday and Monday instead of being a bump on a log. 

Mentally I'm feeling a lot better and ready to ease back into things. I told myself going into Ogden that I was going to take it easy for a couple weeks after the race- this was assuming that I'd have been able to push it hard all the way and I'd really need the recovery time. However even though I'm not going to need that recovery time I still might give myself a mental break and at least enjoy my trip to Orlando without pushing for mileage. So that's what I'm going to do. Then when I get back home on next week I'd like to work on some speed work for a couple weeks for WBR.

Say hi to Mickey for me and don't chase after Minnie in your weakened state or Mickey will open a can of whoop-a@@!

Sounds like a great strategy for your training when you get back from your trip. I was also thinking about taking a couple days off from running for a mental break to. But I can't get myself to do it.

have fun Clyde. A small break will do a body good!

Yea sorry, i didn't see the blog entry you gave last week. I went and looked at it and will probably try some stuff. I used to take Whey protein alot and i will probably start to take it again. Thanks though and yea we can talk some more once we see each other again. Oh yea, hey are we still doing that altitude training camp and when is it again.
