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.

Could not sleep lastnight!  Thinking about everything. Thinking about work, thinking about Sundays race.  I keep going round and round in my head me getting "bumped" by that car last week.  It could have been so much worse.  I am really lucky.  Tonight the weather went to complete sh*t.  16 mph SSE wind with a steady drizzle, but tonight was my last chance workout for Sunday's race.  I did a semiquick 3.5 mile warmup.  First 2 miles easy, and then the next 1.5 miles was 6:30 pace.  Felt really fresh.  Stomach was really bothering.  Got on the track and did 6x800m in pretty good times considering it was windy (2:49,2:48,2:47,2:45,2:45,2:43) w/ about a 3 minute rest between.  Only did 1 mile cooldown.  Was going to do 2, but calfs were getting cold and started cramping up.  A good workout.  Today was the last hard day.  The hard part now will be holding back as I take the next couple of days easy.
