My legs are kind of sore for some reason today, I guess I'm not used to the faster pace that I ran last night. Funny, I ran 32+K's(20+ miles) on Saturday and was fine afterward, but ran 9K/5M last night and am all stiff and sore. Maybe I strech my step out more when I run faster??
A few people on the company "team" for the Baden Mile Run on Saturday have already backed out. One has a knee injury (from soccer), another has the flu - acceptable. Two others are whining, "I didn't have time to train!" "The weather was bad!" Blah-blah." - My reply you signed up, the company paid your fee, you got the company T-shirt - WALK IT! I know one of these is getting a really hard time from the other people in his office - he plays soccer every week so is in good enough shape. Maybe they will shame him into it:-)
Well my better half and I have been married 17 years today, quite an accomplishment in today's world. I hope we make it a couple hundred years more, I have a great wife, even though she doesn't understand my need to run ;-)
I think I'm going to have to adjust my diet over the next couple weeks, I've already gained a pound. One or two before the marathon is almost expected (do to decreased mileage), but I don't want to carry any extra weight on that day.
Marathon countdown: 18 days 8 hours 45 minutes - CAN'T WAIT!!!

Finally! I couldn't comment earlier for some reason, but I just had to tell you how lucky you are. But also, how lucky she is, because she has you and you know how lucky you are. 17 years. That's a lot of appreciation!
