Taking it down a notch. May hit 50 this week, may not. I really need to give myself a break. Went to the Rec center. Warmed up on the TM for 2.5 miles and threw in at least a 1/4 mile repeat at 6:27 to 6:35. Then went to a cycling class. Second one ever. The first was over two years ago. It kicked my butt big time. I think I am putting it at a high level to match my running on SW days. I was definitely pushing it or I am out of biking shape. Hope this helps my speed. It should. Ran another 2.5 miles with another 1/4 mile repeat at 6:27. Avg pace 7:54 for 5. Shoes feeling a bit better, or at least my body is. They kind of turn my knees inward. Not sure why? OLYMPIC SKIING TOO AWESOME!! LOVE THE mogul event for Women and then the Nordic combined. Soo wishing U.S. came in first there but hey its the first medal ever in nordic since 1924 first olympics. We'll take silver. HE did awesome!!! I was off my bed cheering. I also soooooo loved the short track speed skating, Go Apollo!!!

Cutback weeks are good! I didn't even crack 40 last week--whoops! Oh well, this week is supposed to be the big 70!Knees turning in? Um that's weird. Do you feel like you are running with better form?

yes, I am quite enjoying it since I am draining all my adrenaline watching the olympics.

i agree, cutback weeks are good. just take it easy and the running feeling will come back. i am loving the olympics, but they sure are distracting me from getting any studying done! o well, it's worth it :)

April- not sure about the form. Knees still turning inward. Wore them to work last night and I still turned inward, pigeon-toed sort of. The cycling teacher told me to turn my knees out so they are straight and not turned in so maybe it is just me not my sneakers.
