| I went to bed last night at 9:00, so today's long run was easier than last week's. We went 11 miles today but our pace was really slow. Both of us were actually surprised how slow our pace had been - it didn't seem like we were going that slow. We might need to run on a different route, just to break up our pattern. I tried a different water/fuel pattern today. I took 2 bloks before I started running, a little water around mile 5, a little endurance drink at mile 7 and 9.5. I think I need fuel a little before mile 7 because I started to feel like I was running out of steam. After my run, I didn't have nearly the fatigue that I experienced with my 10 miler last week. I was a little sore, but I just kept stretching; and I'm feeling pretty good right now. I went to the chiropractor today; my back was out and it was hurting my knees a little as I ran. Cami hasn't been walking for a week and a half (because of an injury at a park), and my back hasn't enjoyed lifting and carrying a 55 pound kid. | | Comments(6) |

| This was more of a strength training day. We went up The Incline in Manitou Springs, which is a incredible workout -- a mile's worth of old railroad ties up the mountain that increase 2000 feet in altitude in that one mile distance. It's such a cardio workout and the increase in altitude also takes your breath away; so it makes for a great challenge. Once we got to the top, we ran down a trail that intersects The Incline. It's called the Barr Trail and it's 4 miles back down. Needless to say, my quads were SORE after today's workout. [If you're curious about The Incline, you can check it out at www.inclineclub.com/incline. It's a funny local icon - although there are "Private Property. No trespassing" signs, the Incline is used by about 100 people a day.] | | Add Comment |

| So, I can hardly walk down stairs or kneel down today from my workout yesterday. The run down the trail for 4 miles was harder on my quads than the mile on the Incline. I went swimming for 1/2 an hour today instead of running. I did a little better swimming than last time -- although, I really couldn't have done any worse!!!!! (hee,hee) | | Add Comment |

| Well, sadly, I caught some kind of stomach bug that kept me up all night throwing up and most of the day in bed so I had to miss my scheduled 4 miles today. Drat. | | Comments(1) |

| Okay, embarrassingly, I'm feeling tons better than yesterday as far as health ... but I still missed my scheduled 6 mile run today because Breaking Dawn was finally out and in the bookstores. No self control, man. None! (hee,hee) | | Comments(1) |
