Sunny - Don't sell yourself short. With all that you've gone through , just from reading your posts on the boards, I can easily say that you have risen above the pack and taken your training to new levels. Most in your situation would quit (or take a long haitus), and no one knowing what they are going through would blame them. But you did not go gently into that good night (at least Robert Frost would say so), you persevered and continued. You deserve the accolades and kudos you receive here on the WISH boards. Best of luck to your ongoing treatment. Hope to see you on the race course again someday!
WWDave - Congratulations on passing your exam for licensure. It's great when hard work pays off, and the extra $$$ helps too!
Craig - Great race, and a great commentary. I imagine before you leave Colorado, you'll break a 7 minute mile, either at the Track Meet or on your own.
Angie - Super job on the TM work!
lourodrigis - Great work on the LR. I would have more trouble trying to pronounce Schuylkill, thank heavens for cut and paste!
Well, camping this week was somehat of a bust...it rained every day we were out there. If it wasn't raining during the day, the heat and humidity was out (steam was literaly coming off of the blacktop roads). My first run was cut short as it started to sprinkle (no biggee), then rain harder (well, I was going to get wet sweating anyway), but then I saw even darker clouds rolling in with lightning (Biggee
) so I turned around after 15 min and scootted back before the next deluge hit. My next run got cut chort because for some reason my shins deciced to cramp severly every time I tried to run more than a couple of minutes. This has never happened before. Cramping so bad I was limping. Tried retying my shoes, running slower, stretching them, all to no avail so I went back to the camper defeated and dejected. Wednesday we packed up am came home. Thursday morning I got in a 4.5 mile run (r4/w2) with no difficulty, I even was able to pick up the pace a bit. 
I dunnoh what was up with the shin thing!
Worked last night and got up about an hour ago. Tomorrow is my 14 mile LR.
The weather is supposed to be glorious!
Happy training!
