AM: Nice, easy relaxing run around the river bottoms with Kim. Legs are feeling a little better each day so it's nice to know I can do a hard crosstrain/eliptical workout and still be in healing mode for running. Earlier in the week I was thinking on Saturday when we run down the SGM course I would do some marathon paced miles but I think I'll hold off on that and just do eliptical if I get feeling like I just have to do something a bit more strenuous.

Ave pace around 9:35.

PM: Some bike and core workout.

Are you heading down to SG this weekend, or did I read your entry wrong?

Keep working hard...

Happy anniversary, Tom and Kim! Have a fun getaway. Hope the elliptical works its magic and you'll be 100 percent for SG.
