Personal:

I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10.  I've been running since 1982.  I never get "basic" injuries.  I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping  down on my peroneal nerve.

Ran a pretty good 15 miles w/ Jacki.  Total time 1:48:44.  Struggled the last couple of miles, but it's been a pretty solid two weeks now of 60 miles a week and 150+ minutes a week on the Octane.  The NCAA meet is tomorrow but I won't be able to make it as I can't get away from work.Really warmed up today.  Sunny and 45.

You have my curiosity about the Octane. What is that?

The Octane is an elliptical machine. My wife and I bought it when she tore her achilles and I got a stress fracture in my SI Joint nearly two years ago. I used it to stay in shape as I couldn't run for over 6 months. Now, it supplements my training. You can check it out at octanefitness.com (Q37 series).

Looks like a great way to add some cross training to your schedule. I usually bike when I do cross training but it looks like this more closely works the running muscles.
