Ran 3 miles solo then met up with Kim for about 5 more. Felt like I slept pretty good last night but Kim says I was fidgety. My ankles were both pretty tight and sore starting out this morning but they loosened up and felt pretty good after about a mile and a half. Hopefully I took it easy enough today and yesterday so tomorrow I'll be up for the 20-miler with a progression run in the middle. If I'm still feeling it from the Thursday downhill I'll bag the progression run idea and play it safe.

Hey Fidget Boy! I'm glad ONE of us got a good night's sleep! ha ha! Just kidding! You didn't bug me too bad. Besides, I guess I should get a turn at watching the weird sleeper once in a while! :)

See you at lunch!

Tom, smart to bag the down hill running for a while. Early morning runs, they sure get in your system.

You've really been slugging away the miles lately Tom. Keep it up. I'm back up over 50 now so in another couple months I'll be back to chasing you on the mileage board. Watch out!
