Urlea - glad to hear you are recovering from your marathon and not trying to do too much too quickly.

I had a big weekend. 4 mile run Saturday morning plus 30 miles on my bike. Followed on Sunday by an 86 mile bike ride in the Columbia River Gorge - plenty of hills there. So it was no surprise that - even after having a total rest day yesterday - this morning's 8.3 mile run was sloooooow. Total time was 91 minutes.

I really need to get out of the house earlier on these long run days. I left at 5:45 which got me home at 7:15. I can't manage to eat, shower and get to work by 8:00 when I finish my run so late. And I hate being late to work! Still, getting started at 5:00 seems soooooooo early. But I guess a girl's gotta do what a girls' gotta do!
