AM - 11.75 Target Loop. Getting wasn't bad this morning! Running was. Could feel Saturday's run in my legs - sore and tired. I am not anywhere near 100% yet, and I may just have to accept the fact that I won't be at the race. (Landreth 60.05)

Checked my resting heart rate yesterday. It was a bit high, 55. Although I haven't taken it in a long time to have a solid base to judge by, I would say that it was high because of continued fatigue from Saturday's hard workout and my body still feeling the effects of the sickness.

Goals for the week: Get everything on track as best as possible. I would like to push toward 100 miles (that sounds weird for the week before a marathon, but I feel like it would do a lot of good for me to bring my miles up and try to keep fitness strong after the stages of not running and recovering); also I need to get a solid speed workout in (800's tomorrow -kind of scary, I don't know how good they'll be); and most importantly a good long run/tempo finish on Saturday. Then next week I'll get decent mileage in on Monday and Tuesday and then set into whatever kind of taper I can get.

afternoon - 7.4 Shnobe Kibe Trail. Went out with team to hit a 7 miler to Shnobe Kibe by way of the new road to the bridge, but we were just short on mileage before the turn around. So Ruth found a sweet trail which we just extended around the mountain. It had vicious little rollers and was just a lot of fun. Fun running with the kids even though they had to slow down for the old man. (Cumulus blue 131.05)

Sorry to hear you still and not feeling 100%. I wish you the best for a quick recovery so you can still attempt SLC. When is your "drop dead" day to decide to run it or not?

I've decided I'll do it - and just go by feel. Hopefully the feel is good.

I am glad you are going to run it. Dave, like I have said before, you have trained really hard, I am sure it will pay off. I am very proud of you. You have such determination and drive. You are the king!!(ha ha)

Hey great job coming back from that injury, hey blog me and tell me about that meeting gor Ragnar. I'm guessing your going to let me run with you guys. Hey is it okay if i come run with the guys sometimes on long runs.

Looks like you're jumping back in right where you left off! Hope the next 2 weeks are good for you and SLC is a success.
