Enjoyed sleeping in this morning and doing the easy 6-miler in the sun on a cool, crisp almost-fall morning. I think Kim especially enjoyed the sleep-in after being up past midnight wrestling with my youngest daughter's pesky loose tooth! See Kim's blog for details. We both seemed to have recovered very nicely from the 20-miler on Saturday. Still can't exactly pinpoint exactly why that run went so well compared to most long runs, hopefully a sign that all the earlier consistent training has kicked in and Kim is approaching a peak at just the right time for SGM. We'll be doing a similar run this Friday so we'll see if it was a fluke. My inside-leg-below-knee discomfort is nearly gone. I'll stay conservative this week just to not push my luck, also then we'll have the last of the 20+ runs out of the way. All other areas of the legs/feet are feeling fabulous. Did 4 conservative strides during today's run. My fast-twitch endowed partner was kind and kept things mellow this time. Have a good Labor Day everyone! 9:28/136
