I revisited one of last year's key workouts; the downhill tempo run.  I put a board under the back end, and took off running.  8 miles in 54 minutes, 1 mile cool-down.  I got pretty sweaty.  I'm vexed by the sore rt knee.  I'll have to consume some vitamin I today.  

On a separate topic, I think it's pretty dumb that spelling the letters out counts as words in scrabble.  "Aitch", "em" and "es" don't really seem like quality words.

Huh, I haven't really thought about training downhill..I need to get on that. Board on the back is awesome!

nice speedy 8.

you're kidding about the scrabble rule of course. how could you verify proper spelling for said "words"?

those 2 letter words are the KEY to the game! I think they're nuts too, but they sure do help in a pinch. QI has to be my most used 2-letter squeeze.

Nice downhill running!

Oh, and JD - Scrabble has their own list of accepted words (a whole dictionary full which we've purchased!) and a list of 2 letter words (em, es, qi etc) that are accepted. This is one serious game! Or maybe you don't play with my husbands family...
