Great running this week :) Are you healing as well as it seems?

Living in this state is a game of figuring out hydration. One day you need tons and the next, not so much. One day 70 the next 38. What is up? :)

I hope you are surviving your busy work week :)

Marion - the knee appears to be recovering. I am having some endurance issues - the body isn't cooperating - but exploring different options.

Work is a tad bit stressful lately :-(. That is why I am busy not working at the moment.

On the bright side - my daughter announced this week they are moving to Ft. Stewart, Georgia. That gives me two more marathons and the Peachtree Road Race to add to my plans for the next 3.5 years.

YEA for the new races!! Its so fun to go out of state for runs...especially when you've got family there too!!

Glad the knee is recovering well...the endurance will come back.

RHR 156? Is that resting heart rate?

From tarzan on Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 17:13:10 from 63.255.172.2

I'm sure you are seeing things, Kelli. RHR was 56 (ok - I can't type) and that is Resting Heart Rate.

From Kelli on Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 17:19:07 from 71.219.98.70

Okay, that is more like it. If it was 156 I would be really worried about you!!!!

Great job today!
