26 Days and Counting – Monday, December 12th
I managed to recover from yesterday's race without any problems. My poor Sweetie complained of being a very stiff yesterday. It reminded me of my first few runs with DC Fit when recovery lasted 2-3 days. But once my muscles got use to the weekly torture, recovery time was a few hours or less. So, I went running this evening. I did my regular tempo run on the treadmill at the gym. I'm currently at 5.5 miles/hour. I was in great form. No pain. No huffing or puffing. I only walked for 8 minutes during this time and finished with 5.4 miles in 65 minutes. Afterwards, I did the strength training exercises that my Physical Therapist recommended and they have really helped improve my form and stability when running.
I came home and registered for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, which is held on April 2, 2006. The event coordinators warned that spaces will fill up quickly. I think it's a scam to get us to register early.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm hosting book club, so I won't be working out. I still need to squeeze in a long run sometime before January 7th, but time is running out. Wish me luck.
Later Alligator

Well I just got back from the gym and I am beat. I am currently doing some research on academy of massage therapy and stumbled across your blog. Which cracks me up really. The internet can certainly land you off base sometimes. Even though 26 Days and Counting – Monday, December 12th is not completely related I think it is a cool blog. I have read back through the archives and lots of people make some very good points. Well I have been on-line forever it seems. I need to continue to plug away at academy of massage therapy. If you have the energy swing by academy of massage therapy. I try to update my site weekly and maybe you will see something you like. I already snagged your URL and put it in my favorites. If you do not mind I will be back again. Great job!
