This is your shortest blog in months...

Are you feeling ok?

Sometimes short and sweet is nice every now and then. I think I may have learned that from some of your blog entries Cal :)

Nice total for the day. I didn't know you were going out again. Maybe I'll have to plan an afternoon run now to try and keep up!

Cal today will be my high miles day for the week. Since Kim is training for the marathon I'm wanting to run with her on her long runs on Saturday, especially as she heads into foreign territory running 15+ milers.

So we're experimenting seeing how my body likes doing a long/faster run on Friday and a not-quite-so-long/slower(for me) run on Saturday. One of the nice things about running with Kim at her pace is that I can get more miles total than I would normally want to run, without the wear-and-tear I get if I try to do that many miles solo or with a faster group.

It's nice because I still get my quality miles but nicer yet I get all that quality TIME with my wife.

BTW Cal I noticed you're still well ahead of me on the mileage board. I don't think you need any PM run today.
