Today was the last day of winter break for the girls so my routine should get back to normal on Monday. For now still ticking off the to do list. I think the training will pick up again once I know what race I'm doing next for now just getting a little in to stay sane. I like saying my running is the insanity that keeps me sane... So just another acceleration run on the treadmill. Right foot a little tweaked but that could just be the treadmill miles, and the harder finishes.

Hey Adam - not sure what you've got planned, but we're going to meet for a run at 830 @ Highland tomorrow.

I'll plan on being there. Not sure what pace or distance I'm up for but will at least start with the group. See you tomorrow at the HS parking lot?

From Jake K on Sat, Jan 05, 2013 at 15:50:55 from 67.177.11.154

Yup by the sign in the main parking lot. Looking forward to it. It will be easy pace, I'll probably run ~2 hrs

Sounds good. Looks like you had a tough workout this morning. Also, I enjoyed reading your post about recovery.
