After yesterday's speed work I thought I'd be more tired today, but I felt pretty good. Hopefully I'll be rested enough to put in a good effort tomorrow.
Not too tired is always a good sign. Can't wait to see how your workout goes tomorrow.

I started tarining for a half marathon that I'm registered to run on Feb 1st.Then I injured my knee and my foot. I'm hoping I can recover and train (starting at almost zero) and stillrun it. I'm not looking for fast, I'm just looking for a finish. would you mind posting a link to the training you are using?
Good luck with the foot and knee. Are they on the same leg?
This is the the training plan I'm using: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-244--6851-4-2X5X8-4,00.html
In the past I've used and really liked Hal Higdon's plans: http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/index.htm spell

Right foot, left knee. I'm able to do the elliptical glider most days for 60-90 minutes, and I do upper body and ab workouts on alternate days (push ups are out as I do them girl-style)
I'm hoping that when I can get back to running I won't have lost too much ground...
Thanks for the links. I like reading them the way I read cook books. I take in all the info then just go make up my own thing. :)
"...um, are your two totally adorable children palying with legs in that picture...? " I believe the pc term is prosthetic limbs. But, yeah they are legs. I found a whole bunch of them early one morning while on a run. After my run the whole family went back to the pile and we each picked one out to take home. Each Halloween there after we've give one away to a special friend or neighbor.
Our dog is a standard poodle. When standing on his hind legs he is taller than my wife. And no he doesn't have one of those bizzare haircuts.
... So a few blocks from my house is this rundown cinder block building with a sign that reads, Artificial Limb Co. I used to wonder if they really made limbs. Every summer we have a neighborhood cleanup day where you can put large items out on the curb for garbage pickup. I guess the Artificial Limb Co. was cleaning out one of its back rooms or something because they had a large pile of legs out on the curb. It was so bizarre that I couldn't resist going back and grabbing a few. If any runners with a modern prosthetic happens to read this blog, I hope they don't find this offensive. Perhaps I should change the picture? But I kind of like the odd juxtaposition of my "totally adorable children playing with legs."

It's a great picture. And I wondered if you were going to say they are yours. I was about to be AMAZED at your sspeed. But since they're not yours to use, I'm simply "impressed." :)
I've heard those are great dogs. Is it true they don't shed? My two tiny goofballs manage to keep this house in a constant state of hairy-ness.
It's true they don't shed. Their hair is like a persons and if you don't cut it, it will grow to the ground. This is the first dog I've had that doesn't shed. I don't miss the hair one bit and I breath easier as well.
Keep it family-safe. No vulgar or profane language.
