AM - Easy 10 miles from Sasha's house. We ran 7 miles with son James and then added 3 more. Overall average was 7:39 for 10 miles with the last three at close to 7:00 pace. Overall I am starting to feel decent again. My left hammy is not 100% but it only starts to bother me when we go under about 7:00 pace so at least I know I can continue to run easy until it heals fully. I was sick all weekend congested and could barely talk but things seem to be on the mend in those reagrds as well. I hope to get 70+ miles this week if the body cooperates. Also did 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups this morning and my shoulder and neck seem to be ok, not 100% but almost. I will run an easy mile tonight with Jared.

PM - Added 2 easy miles, first with Jared (8:28) and second with James (7:26). Feeling a bit better.

Post marathon sickness is usually pretty common for me, but since I had a month of pre-marathon sickness hopefully I will be fine.

I'm glad Ted your neck and shoulders are okay. I was praying for you in my prayers.

Your going to seriously knock-out some PR's next year.

Hey Ted...still waiting to see a picture of the car. Did you ever get it posted? Take an easy and don't over do it and glad to hear you are felling a little better.
