Just a quickie post, and one without a visual of the week’s training. My training log is on Jonathan’s computer, which is two states to the east in a house that has no power, thanks to Hurricane Irene.
It was a nothing week for training anyway. I probably ran in the neighborhood of 20 miles if I was lucky. Since I tweaked my left hamstring last week and had a 5K race planned for this Saturday, it seemed stupid to do anything to aggravate said hamstring. I also had to travel out of town for work on Thursday and Friday and there was no time to run during those two days.That was fine since my hamstring was still bugging me. So I slathered on Voltaren and hoped for the best.
On late day Friday the Percy Sutton 5K got canceled due to all city permitted events getting thrown out due to the impending hurricane, making the decision not to race it very easy (since it was made for me!). Instead, I snuck in 4 easy miles in withering humidity before meeting up with fellow bloggers Amy and TK for a sojourn in the Poconos, a much-anticipated trip.
Today I’m slightly hung over (big surprise there) but sporting very fresh legs. Assuming I’m less hung over tomorrow, I’ll attempt a longer run. Or not. I have a slight case of the fuck its this week. That’s not such a terrible thing.

Races Like a Girl 
Hurry can Irene? You forgot to mention the pillow fights as cross-training.
Ewen, those pillow fights were in your fantasies. Say this aloud until you believe it: The three-way girl-on-girl Poconos pillow fight is a fantasy.
We did however give each other post-workout massages to hasten recovery.
TK, I tried, but unconvincingly. However, you’ve diverted my thoughts to the post-workout massage.
Jules, those legs still feeling fresh today?
Uh. No. I struggled through three miles Tuesday, although I was running them bizarrely fast (8:40s). But I rocked a speed session this morning.
