AM: A bit of a sleep-running morning today with Kim. Couldn't seem to completely wake up and get going. Ran the 6+ mile river bottom loop. Beautiful morning today even with the wind. Kim was feeling some pain in her right hip adductor muscle so we went a bit slower than normal. Pain is probably due to the long run on Saturday followed by sort-of-long-run yesterday with hill repeats. My bad--perhaps Coach Tom needs to mellow out a bit. Ave pace around 10 min/mi.

Late AM: Ran 4 miles out toward Lakeview, paid no attention to pace, ended up being around 8:30 pace.

Also did some core work at the gym.

Yes, by all means, listen to your body. I think we all get some warning signs that we might be overdoing it a bit, but we get a bit obsessive about checking off another workout and end up doing more harm than good. I'm noting that mostly for my own benefit :)

Don't take the blame, Coach Tom. You know that I am the one who wanted the extra on Saturday and added in yesterday on my own. I will be very careful though this week and hope it's just a minor thing.

Tom, I got fired as a coach by Sylvie many years ago, lets see how long you have your coaching job? Hopefully, longer than me, smart to back off a fews days until the race.
