Kim and I staged a bit of a daylight savings protest today by sleeping in a bit before going out for our morning run. We went along a similar route as 2 weeks ago but tacked on an extra mile and a half to get in the miles Kim was wanting to get in preparation for Striders 1/2.  We were grateful the weather ended up being mostly pleasant during the morning hours rather than the overcast, stormy conditions that seem to be closing in even as I type. We made an effort not too push too had today since this was a longer run for Kim, most miles in the 10-10:30 pace range. Toward the end Kim's knee (different knee than before with the IT band trouble) was acting up a bit so we did some run/walk just to play is safe. Injuries STAY AWAY!!!

It is always good to sleep in once in a while. I would do it more often if I could.

Nice week of running. I still think that all of your old marathon troubles came when you were running less miles and you weren't in as good of shape. I still think you should run more than one marathon this year or I'm secretly trying to get you injured cause I'm jealous your running like a mad dog.
