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!

Six nice and easy in the morning. Much warmer than the last couple of days but mega-windy!! Later went to the gym for 40-min XT.

Today was an optional day. Didn't set the alarm or anything but woke up around 5 and couldn't seem to get back to sleep so got up. Noticed it was pretty warm and no wind so decided to go out and do 3 miles. Later went to gym at work for standard 40 min XT workout.

Ran a repeat of last Saturday's 20-miler down Provo Canyon with Kim and a friend/co-worker of hers. Another great run. Check out Kim's blog for more details. Always nice to have the last 20+ miler out of the way and start thinking taper. Should be a fun time down in SG!

Brrr chilly morning! Felt more like late October or November. Kim and I helped with the SF 1/2 marathon but managed to get in a few miles during quiet times.  Ran 3 with Kim and 2 solo. Can't believe how good my legs feel today after the 20 yesterday. Not much different than any other day. This is a GOOD thing.
