Early AM: 4 miles.  Ran a bit with Kim but she was having weird pains and thought she better walk a bit and stay close to home. So ran solo for a bit but was able to meet back up with Kim around mile 3 and was glad to see she appears to be OK.

Late AM: 45 minutes XT at the gym (E/B/S).

It was nice to open the Des News this morning and see this article about FRB long-timer Paul Petersen on the front page of the Sports section.

Ran 5 on a beautiful morning with Kimi then walked another mile and a half. Glad to see that my legs/feet seem to be handling the ramping up the mileage without any signs of any problems.

Still keeping everything in the easy pace range, mostly around 8:30-9:30. That pace still feels harder than it should and HR still awfully high but I know with time all that stuff will take care of itself. Same with my weight which really seems to want to get stuck about 5 lbs above where it gets to when I'm in race shape. Just need to be smart and Continue in Patience.....

Ran 9 miles, mostly with Kim and some solo. Longest run yet since the injury and first 30 mile week since April. Everything OK so far especially as far as the feet, so nice not to have foot pain so much of the time. Legs & lower abs doing OK too although the familiar areas complaining a bit at times (high hamstring tendon-butt-itis and sport hernia area). Those darn scar tissue areas just don't ever seem to completely be happy, but I've found they do alot better being active than when doing nothing.

Ave pace was exactly 9 min/mi. and felt pretty good, although average HR was still through the roof for this pace at 162.
