Why practice running slow? It comes naturally!

Not sure what today will bring. I have it off work and wanted to go out on the bike but it's pouring rain and windy (you left just in time Dr. S!). Also I hurt my back a bit twisting in the boat ride back from the Not Since Moses island to take a picture so I'm not running today b'c I know that will just aggrevate it.
A few errands to get done this morning then see what weather the afternoon brings I guess.

I was planning to garden today but Mother Nature disagrees.
I guess I will spend some time reorganizing my closet. Denim and fleece to be relegated to the back and business casual to the front. I don't officially start until the 6th but I am going in for introductions tomorrow!
Holly, I saw that you asked about my new job. I am in charge of sales and customer service for The Belton Group. My official title is Chief Passion Officer. My boss gives everyone a Chief of something title. Apparently, he thinks I am passionate.

I suppose I can consider myself in training again. For the next couple weeks I will concentrate on base building and then hit some specific stuff.
Today I will either run outside in the rain or do some treadmill and weights at the gym.

Yeah me too. I'm just starting to feel a little better. I had no energy for a full week. I'm still coughing a little.

Feel better soon, sickies!
Still tired but feeling great overall. I have an ART appointment this afternoon and then off to finish up a number of errands.
I am looking forward to running in the rain.... if I have any energy left.

Running 26.2 miles is not limited by physical capabilities but rather by the mind.

No running for me but I will try to get in for ART if it's not too short of notice (otherwise, tomorrow for that).
However, I feel that my injury *may* have turned a corner... too soon to say for sure, but it feels *different* now... and less stiff/sore. I was actually walking normally last night, which is weird. :P

I don't usually post in the daily thread but I feel like today is special. This weekend, I put the last 52K bike ride, 1000m swim and 10K run in the training bank for Great White North! Now, I am going to do very little this week and really let my body re-energize after the training and the bronchitis I've had for a week. What's done is done and we'll see in 6 days how it goes!

Had a weekend off... lots of R&R at the trailer, time was spent working on my tan and reading a new book. Pulled a muscle or something in my calf at my PT session on Friday, it was sore all weekend and one of the reasons I decided to make it an R&R weekend.
Did 35 minutes easy on the TM this morning and my calf was fine, it's more sore walking than running. Hoping to go swimming this afternoon.
Have a great Monday!!!

Recovery run today. Legs are feeling pretty good, slight soreness. I think they're just making sure I'm remembering they took me the 13.1 on Saturday.
