I'm off work today so Kim and I slept in and went out after getting the kids off to school. Ran just over 5 1/2 with Kim and another mile and a half solo. Just trying to keep things nice and easy and try and get my legs back and have enough steam for the long run tomorrow.

I'm betting the easy miles and the extra sleep will do wonders...Don't worry about the fitness; it'll still be there tomorrow!

Tom, I just read your Wednesday blog. When most of my body should be ready to go but I can't get it going, usually, my problem is stress due to work, lack of sleep, wife mad at me etc...

Kiss the wife, meditate/ponder a bit, read the scriptures, pray, and sleep. You'll feel re-energized in no time back to the sub 3 drive you've had for quite some time.

Tom, hey, always kiss the wife to play it safe, you never know if they are mad at your. I agree with Terry on the stress, always not good. Have a good 20.
