Personal:
I need to figure out something inspiring or funny to write here. For now - I'll let the suspense build.

12.5 miles on the treadmill. My plan was 20, but even with my left knee wrapped, it started bothering me. I also pulled an abdominal muscle a week and a half ago and the pushups and situps and running are aggravating it and it is getting worse.
12 miles on the treadmill must be some kind of a record! Yes, maybe you better lay low on all the exersizes until after March 29.
I haven't exersized one little muscle today, except for my jaw muscles. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and then to see "He's Just Not Into You" It was a great chick Flick!
CRAP!!! I am sorry about the busted gut! Hahahahah.. how'd you bust a gut? I need a nap and LESS CRAP o'LA! Feel better. I hope a week down does the trick!
I've done 20 on the treadmill a couple of times. Not fun - but I caught up a lot on podcasts.
Don't know how I messed up the ab muscle. I didn't think I actually had any. It's been hurting for about 2 weeks. I noticed it the day a week or more ago when I tried to do the pushups for the first time and had to resort to girly ones to take stress off the core.
Anyway - the plan is to cross train. Lots of walking, biking, and ellipticals - so my miles for the next week will be 'equivalent' miles.
Now - while all of you celebrate with your loved ones - I am crawling into bed with ice cream, chocolate covered marshmallows and gummy bears, and a couple of good books.

that sounds nice Maurine. Why are chocolate covered marshmallows SO yummy :)
I'm trying, Teena. That's why I stopped when I did. I will probably do a lot of walking this week - and drop the pace if I need to to avoid the stomach muscle hurting. I will need good walking muscles for the ultra - so this will work out. I did force myself to not work out today - I even took a nap instead.
Sorry about the knee and abs ache. Sounds like you've got a plan. Hope all your walking and running parts heal and feel better soon.
