Ran 9 miles this morning. After all my problems with last night's workout, I decided to take it conservatively and ran 4 minutes, walked 1 minute. I was still under 12:30 mpm. The second half I felt much better than the first and ran it (net uphill) 5 minutes faster than the first half.  Last night I kept hawking up crap every half mile or so and having to spit.  Didn't have to spit at all this morning, so think I am almost recovered.

I need to clean up and head into the office with the puppy and will take a break in a few hours and walk her around Wheeler Farm for an additional 2 miles.

Glad you are not hacking all over the place anymore!! Be careful ... when that stuff gets in your lungs it can be dangerous!! I'm sure you know that.

Hey ... I need some potty-training help for my puppy, Sugar. She still doesn't get it and she will turn 6 months one week from today. HELP!!! I'M AT MY WITS END (and Ry wants to give her away).

Any great suggestions????
