and we start w/ an official day off.

That’s OK. I need a day off today. Keith, Rick and I ran hills yesterday and my butt muscles are one big knot this morning.
My original training plan was supposed to start two weeks ago, but I found a different program on Runners World thats a bit more inline with what I’ve been doing over the past few months. This plan incorporates a lot more track work, strides and tempo runs. I’ll have @ least two days @ the track and one more running hills. It calls for 4 runs of 20 miles or better. It happens to be a 16-week plan instead of 18, but I’m not concerned with the shorter time span – I’ve been running 38-45 miles for the past two months and have no worries about fitness level.

On a side note – I’m not sure why I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been in a mental funk, and simply didn’t have the inspiration to write anything (not that this post is very inspired).
