    Bruin - Plenty of quality in there for a recovery week. Would be interested to see what you could run for a shorter distance with those HIIT workouts you've been doing.

    I have definitely improved my times in my shorter distances probably due to both the HIIT workouts and speedwork sessions in my marathon training cycles. I haven't done any track races but I have run PR's in the mile (4:57), 2-mile (10:21), and 5K (16:35) on the track during track speedwork sessions(beating my high school cross country/track PR's from 26+ years ago). After I finish training for/racing Tokyo marathon I am going to focus on training for 5K and shorter races. I hope to find some masters track meets to compete in.

    Worked late in my shop (custom cabinets), and just finished dinner. Local butternut squash, haluski made with local cabbage, cheeseburgers. Beverage is local apple cider. No alcohol, as I have a long night ahead. Wife's daughter is arriving from L.A. first thing in morning, so need to get house in order. However, I did enjoy a Niagara peninsula Riesling last night.

    Latest medical result looked good. Next clinical assessment is at the end of the month. They'll probably want to do additional follow-up stuff, too, but I think I will cancel even this upcoming appointment, and wait to revisit the issue in 12 months. I'm certain it was all much add about nothing.

    In my family, even the quietest whisper of the word "cancer" has turned out to be a death sentence. So I just assumed the same in my case, but I am out of the woods for now. I really appreciate the prayers and positive energy sent my way.

    Today was the 14th day of no running or exercise. I've been overeating -- been perpetually hungry and have put on A LOT of weight in two weeks. Looking forward to getting back on the roads!

    Also looking forward to seeing your recovery/training week report tomorrow. Hope all is well!

    re: Allen1959

    Allen - So glad to,learn of the good results. Have eeb thinking about you all week.. I understand about cancer. My mother feared it so much that she would not even say the word. She called it “the big C.” Remember those days?

    A humdrum week for me running-wise, as it was mostly just days off and recovery, plus my right hamstring was tight/sore. But that does not mean I could completely hold back, right? You know better than that. So, this morning I went 10.25 at 6:36.8...finishing 6:23.8, 6:14.5, 5:58.0, 1:26.8. Legs still feel somewhat heavy, and the ham is still tight, but that felt surprsingly good this morning.

    Allen: The good part of me wants to say "thank goodness" so glad to hear it is just a scare. whew. The bad part wants to say. This is BS. put the 3rd dinner plate down and get back into shape. If you think you are going to use weight as an excuse to not break 3. Tubs, you are mistaken.
