I wasn't too sore on Sunday but I was still a little more fatigued than usual. Did not go to Church, did not XT, did not accomplish much. I am going to try the cold water shower or tub after the next LSD on Saturday. I am confused about this Cannonball 10 K. I must have missed something somewhere...are we suppose to register for this? I need to go on MS track club site and see the when where and what of it.

Went to Baptist Colonnades today and did the heart screening thing for $25. They did blood work, blood pressure, pulse, EKG, and a health survey. The results will be back in a week after the blood work and EKG are reviewed and interpreted. Pretty good deal for $25. My husband is in town and he walked with me for 50 min. at Strawberry Patch late this aft. I walked my legs off and still could not get faster than a 16 min. mile and that was only one mile out of 3...the other 2 miles were at 17 min. I am going on that website about speed walking and see if I can learn SOMETHING to help my walking speed. I am thinking of doing intervals of running 1 min. and walking 2 min. at the marathon so I need to be faster with my walking. I may change my mind and be doing 5:5 by the time Oct. gets here, who knows. I hope everyone had a good Monday!

Yes you need to register for the 10k. That will be our long distance run that day plus a couple of added ones. You can download the form off of the MM site (I think) or the MS track club site. Just mark that your with MM. They are going to order our shirts and get them to us later. And a 16 minute mile is not bad! Think about the time you started off at. Like the rest of us, you have come a long way.
I'm sad Kristy won't be with us again Saturday. But, I'm glad you are able to get out there and do it anyway. I know sometimes it's hard to find the motivation without your partner. I've had to do it a lot. But, I'm glad Kristy and you have both been keeping up with the training.

I meant plus a couple of added miles. Not other 10k's........

Ditto everything Mandy said! I tried the cold shower/bath thing and I thought it was miserable. Much more tolerable for me is laying on the floor with bags of frozen veges under and on top of my legs. I'll stay there for 20 minutes or so, with pants on, and that works for me.

P.S. Mark emailed us about the 10K. Did you not get his email?
