Long Run Friday Set List

Sometimes life gets in the way of training, so I had to cut Long Run Friday to 13 miles today (to St. Rose and Back). I had planned on going 16-18, oh well. I just want to thank my brother Scott for instilling in me a crazy fear of geese. Scott was attacked by a goose a few years back while running in Princeton. Actually had to body slam the dang thing after trying to kick it two or three times. Ever since he told me that story, whenever I run by geese (today I ran THROUGH hundreds in Spring Lake) the hair on the back of my neck stands up and I await a brawl.

Luckily, the geese left me alone today. My legs are not feeling so good lately. Knee pain, foot pain. Wondering if I've pushed too hard too soon? My weight is not dropping as I'd hoped and pigging out at Leggett's last night probably won't help. I'm about to go on (hopefully only) the 7-Day DL for something non-running-related (that's trainer speak), and I'm hoping those days off will help my body heal. April 21st seems like it's flying at me.


Here's The Long-Run Friday Song List...I put about 55% of it together myself and let the "Genius" do the rest. Not bad. Eventually I've got to dedicate myself to putting a real list up.
