So I was a super slacker this morning and totally bailed on my friend Cheri! I slept horrible (stupid restless legs I get) and 4:30 came way too early today. So I punished myself my heading straight to my in-laws basement right after work to run on their treadmill. It was very hot and stuffy, my shins were hurting and I couldnt get their TV to work so my entertainment was staring into a closet looking at Jody's wedding dress (I think it was your dress jody). Super exciting huh? I only made it 5 miles. I then came home ate some dinner, did my weights, watched some of the olympics and then about 8:30 headed back out for a 6.7 mi run. I felt fantastic on the run and it really wasnt too hot. So glad I got it done but it sure would have been easier if I just would have gone this morning and then just taken a short power nap after work. Live and learn I guess...

Ran with Bull and Jeff. Hamstring was buggin me all day yesterday and when I woke up could still feel the tightness, took alot longer to warm up and still feel it a little til the last couple miles. Had 2 miles at 6:35 and then some in the low 7's.

Resting my leg today! A day of rest always helps the tightness unwind. Too close to hobblecreek to let it get worse. See April on sat. Planning on easy 12 tomorrow and easy 20 on sat.

Had a great run with Ruth, Cheri and Marissa. My father-in-law drove us up (how nice, huh?) I wasnt paying attention and had him drop us off a mile early so I had to add on at the end but that wasnt too bad. Beautiful morning. Ran in the low eights for the first 10 and then in the low sevens for the second half. Just took it nice and easy! That crazy girl Ruth got home from Somoa at 2 or 3 this morning and just pulled an all nighter and then came and ran. That was also after about 10 hours of flying time and a 10 hour layover. She is INSANE!! Thanks Ruth for coming it was so fun to see and run with you again!
