Holy Criminy - that wasn't what I planned on doing today! Got a note late at work from some friends saying that Nike was doing a group run this afternoon - they said I should join them. Somehow we got in the lead and took off setting the pace - which was too stinking fast. "Why are we running so fast?" "Because you're running too fast!" "Well, I'll slow down if you'll slow down." "Hey, you're not slowing down." "Hey, you're not slowing down either." On and on it went until we got to mile 5 and then we realized how bad we would look if we couldn't/didn't keep the same pace through the entire 7 miles. Actually it was a blast but I'm not sure it was the healthiest thing to do during recovery week. Ah well...

Criminy indeed- my running shirts chafed my nipples, 3 weeks later i have a painful lump rapidly growing in my right breast, actually had to have a mammogram (results pending), i know what it can't be (cancer) but i don't know what it is and therefore don't know what to do about it yet
but it doesn't interfer with running so I'll be going for 16-18 this Saturday, then 20 next week, then a 2 week taper (i've about decided 3 weeks is too long to taper)
