Ran a bunch with Kim and other various SF runners then finished with 3 solo. Still warm around 45 degrees but very windy again. Most likely we won't see AM temps this warm until sometime next spring.

Kept it nice and easy today as this week is another high mileage over 60 mile week and I need to let my body/legs catch up to all the 50-60 mile weeks the last month and a half. Next week I'll take a probably overdue recover week and keep the miles in the 40's.

8:42/150

Today I'm very thankful for my health. I was talking to Kim the other day trying to remember the last time I was sick and I really couldn't remember anything since the week before UVM back in 2009. Nice! Hope I didn't just jinx my non-sick streak by mentioning that.

Tom, very nice base miles during the winter. The TMers will soon escapte to the gym. Your right, those long solo runs are sometimes the best.

Nice mileage this last month!

I was thinking as I was playing in our wards Turkey bowl Saturday that a few years ago I did a long saturday morning birthday run with you and then played in my wards Turkey bowl, so it must be about time for your birthday. Happy Birthday!!
