I'm shocked and amazed that I was able to do anything that looked like runnung today. The legs feel pretty wacked, exspecially the quads. They were really sore running down hill today, bu not to bad going down. This may take a few days to feel somewhat normal in running. I did the route up around the golf course and just tryed to focus on good form. I ended with 200 crucnhes and hopefully things will feel more loose tomorrow. I have been using the stick to try and roll out the lattic acid, will do them again tonight. See ya tomorrow.

Took it easy on the run today again. My legs are begining to feel a little better, but the quads are still pretty wack and way bad on the down hill. I hope they will recover before sat long run. I am planing on an 18 miler it may be a little much.  I think it may be time some new shoes will have visit MVP this week and see. I did 200 crunches and we will catch ya tomorrow.

I have surprised myself this by continueing my training after sat half marathon. My body this week has felt kinf of trashed, but today the quads are begining to feel much better and was able to grunt out a 8 miler. I went up around the golf course, down power house road to little bros mini gu corner (aka log cabin home) then back to gu corner and home. I finished with 200 crunches and will use tomorrow as a full recovery day and let the body recover  for sat long run. We will see you on the road then.

I did'nt get out until about 7 this morn, had to go into work very early for about four hrs. But it was nice to have the cooler temps today which made for perfect running weather. Todays long run tour took me out over harrys hill, and then up to the woodland hills turnaround. I then went over into loafer mt. estates, then back to gu corner to refule, then up around the golf course back to gu corner and home. Wendy join me latter for my support team and water girl. Thankyou babe, your awesome. I was supprised that my legs were able to handle the longer miles after the half a week ago, they seem to be bouncing back pretty quick. This has been a good week of training. Starting to get excided about SGM. See ya next week.
