Re: How early is too early to start the SUNDAY thread?
21k run this morning in the rain and wind. First 6k with Strider and puppy Strider. Strider can still run faster and stronger than me even after running a 100 mile fast trail run last weekend.

I feel like I'm BACK! Ran 18k yesterday with Strider at a 5:38/km pace and it felt great. My new inhaler with aerochamber is making a huge difference. I'm SO happy!
Have a great day all.
