. We 
you whether you're running 40 or 4 miles a week! So deeply sorry about your SBIL. Lots of 
, thoughts and prayers going out to you and yours. What a terribly sad situation
.
. My leg is killing me again. Perhaps DH can offer me some advice
. I've solicited advice from everyone else on the board so perhaps a new perspective would help me out as well
. I do hope it gets better for him and he is able to run the 1/2 with no ill effects.
. Thanks so much for sharing. Congrats for tacking the 20 miler and happy taper to you .
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I am sure once the weather improves and if the leg calms down I will try to increase mileage gradually but if that doesn't happen I have plenty of cross-training to keep me busy and well-conditioned. 
). Still just playing it by ear at this point

Colleen - It sounds like you are still putting in enough miles to keep a good base.)
Cindy, you gotta know that is always in the back of my mind. I just have to find a roommate.
And, yes, Mike, it will someone that I know, not just Tom, Dick, Harry or Mary online.
Jeff is overseas for two weeks, last week Japan and this weekend he is in Germany. He ran 18.5 miles on the treadmill in the hotel in Frankfurt. He said it was alright, but he had to break it down into three 10K sessions with about a 3 minute stretch break between each session. He did get in the steps so that is good b/c the marathon is in 5 weeks!
. Good thing I wasn't actually waiting on it. Anyhow people, just to clear up any misconceptions....well, every quote Mike posted was true...EXCEPT #3...I Did Not poop in the fountain! Not that I wouldn't have should the need have reared it's ugly head, so to speak . Soooo jealous you did 20 miles this weekend! Um, I only ran 6 yesterday & 4 today . I think I'm running a race in like, 5 weeks, too. Oh well. All done painting? . I hope you can find some solace in running & spending some down time with the family. My thoughts are with you & yours...things'll get better, just try & ride this out as best you can. Good job on your run despite the crappy conditons . Is it too much mileage @ a time, too much accumulative mileage in a week? Have you been able to @ least narrow it down to exactly what's firing it up? Hey, there's always the half @ Philly, so don't think you can use all this crap to ditch us! 
That'll make for a nice youtube video So I think the Boston marathon is the same weekend as my ultra
, it's not so far away
Ok, it is, forget it.
to what ails Jeff's leg/knee! He'll be fine..say hi to Lance for moi! Wait a minute, that doesn't sound to good, uh, Mike don't read that! NOBODY has worse jodistop issues than yours truly, perhaps your husband will find some comfort in that knowledge! How'd your Sims run go? , you'll be ready for Disney by Jan, no worries! WTG, dude. I hope the work scene is exciting, not just all stress...hang in there you entrepreneur! This is gonna be a really funny ultra, perhaps you'll even read about it in a future issue of Runner's World or the like "The Novice Who Didn't Train...And Paid The ULTIMATE Price" or some cheezy headline like that! Actually, I am starting to get a little stressed about my lack of LRs, 14 miles is the longest since Disney
Oh well!
nice job on the 17!
. He didn't run at all today, but that was because of the number of car bombs he consumed last night and not his knee/leg issues. . Seriously, man I hope you start to get over all your pains once and for all.Jodi - Sorry, you won't get away without a comment (or four!).Topiary, fountain, doesn't matter, I'll drop the drawers wherever I need to

)... With all the trees, topiaries and such, what's one more exposed bush between friends. : Rest day for me today but we went to a school roller skating party. The first 30 minutes was holding up a slightly panicked DD7 then DW and I switched. The last hour was picking up a wet-noodle DD4 every 15 seconds. I figure about 150 x 40 lb deadlift. I'm counting it as 90 minutes of XT!
Maybe this... I've heard of leaving a trail of bread crumbs to find your way back home but that's just yucky
Lastly and certainly leastly (apologies in advance
Oh my nerve, we've hit a new low....
I won't touch the other one....
Lastly and certainly leastly (apologies in advance
Not only have we hit a new low but I love how Mike "drops" that bomb on us and then casually comments that he'll be scarce around these parts this week because he has STD . No, not an STD, just STD . You'd think there was some taper madness or something going on around here... Well, Mike has an excuse I guess .
. Being a vegetarian marathoner doesn't provide great chances for iron levels where the Red Cross wants them to be in order to donate blood. I guess I'll consider that my silver lining for the day since the leg hurt so much last night I had trouble sleeping. I give up .
I will be thinking of you and your family.
, so I might as well get it over with. However, I would not finance such a venture - that's just me. . Let me know if you want any more info...are we thinking of buying????
