Nothing too exciting today just a fairly easy 7 with one slightly faster mile at the finish.  Temps have felt great the last few days with temps in the low 70s I almost need a jacket....lol.  The duct tape is holding up and the body is hanging in there at least for now.  Hopefully it can hang in there for a couple more quality weeks and get me through to the taper.  The plan right now is to taper for only 2 weeks and try to fit in some easy long runs with one quality long run between now and then.  Guess we'll just see how it goes.

Oh yeah!! Someone is back to normal and getting in the miles. Great to see your feeling better man. One more big week and we can start our tapering.

Good job Jeff. I hope the lack of details means you're feeling healthy and strong.

From jeffc on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 11:29:40 from 167.207.128.101

MrsFIT...I hope your right

Huans...Not back to normal, but hanging in there.

Cal...Lack of details is lack of time....no just being lazy, there are a few more details now.

Well Jeff. Just listen to your body man. You have had a great summer so far with setting some new PRs. And if all goes well we will get our BQs down in your neck of the woods. So get more duct tape if needs be. We are going to need it to keep up with MarcE.:)

Jeff, nice work. So, you feeling the vibe to take a crack at the BQ at STG. I have decided if I run, I will be going for the BQ. I see no other reason to run it injured, nothing to gain. Will go as far as I can on the BQ pace and either qualify or drop out.

From jeffc on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 15:03:34 from 167.207.128.101

Mike...I too will likely take a crack at it. It's been a good year and hopefully some of that success will carry over to SGM. I'm not feeling as prepared as I would like but I gotta at least give it a shot.

From Mike Warren on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 15:05:50 from 207.50.149.221

So, if I can run lets get a decent group together and throw caution to the wind.

From Kathie on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 15:23:40 from 207.155.176.10

Hey did I miss something? Are you really using duct tape on your run or are you being silly?

From jeffc on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 15:29:39 from 167.207.128.101

Kathie...LOL :D and bailing wire too. New research suggests that duct tape can infact fix absolutely anything. Seriously....no....no duct tape or bailing wire, but who knows, maybe it would work, apparently that other special tape worn by a certain beach volley ball player in the olympics seems to do wonders for people..... explain that one to me?

From jeffc on Tue, Sep 08, 2009 at 18:02:25 from 167.207.128.101

Mike...we should really try to make that group work this year, it would be fun. You already know Huans32 and we have MarkE as well from the blog who will join us. Always good to run with good company and good laughs.
