Limewave, seems like I've been doing lots of trail running in the dark the last few weeks! And if I can't run on the trail I'd rather run on the treadmill than on the pavement... my legs just can't handle that any more. I think I see the same fox every time I'm out there. I'm really looking forward to running in the snow on the trails in the dark!

I had a little, pretty minor bug of some sort this week that resulted in my legs just feeling really achey. I wasn't going to run at all today (my "scheduled" long run day), but woke up feeling better, so I went for it. A lot slower than normal and I walked a lot more than normal, but still managed to get in a pretty good run (about an hour shorter than I wanted it to be). My legs are pretty beat, though, so I'm not doing the companion long run tomorrow. I don't know that it matters at this stage anyway...so I guess I'm now officially in the taper (which means that I only run about 35 miles next week instead of 50-55 like I have been ).

And about the time RNRG , Kelownagirl , and Wahine get back up to speed, I'll be skiing more and running less (I hope, if winter ever gets here)

PRAY FOR SNOW!!!!
