10.25 miles in 1:21:38 (7:58). For an easy 10 mile run at 8 minute pace, I feel a little too achy right now. Knees, shins, left hamstring, lower quads all have what I would call "low grade pain" - not injury type pain, but still a concern. I'll have to remember that rest and recovery should be more important now than any mileage or race goals.

Amen, brother! Have a great week. I might give you a call today to chat about a couple of things!

Sounds good Jeff. We'll be going out for Abby's birthday dinner early this afternoon, but otherwise I plan to be laying around watching football all day.

Take care of that low-grade pain.

Nice profile picture Rob. You look seriously stressed out. Always a plus right?

Steve - if it makes you feel any better, my mother in law made a pile of cinnamon rolls yesterday and I ate about 4 Cinnebon size rolls.

Teena, Lily - thanks. That's me with about a mile to go in my 48 mile Grand Canyon run a few weeks ago.Still, you can't tell what I look like so I can still sneak up on people at races.

That's pretty sneaky. I always wondered why I've never gotten a good look at you on here. :)
