    55*, fog! 2 easy (9:01), 2 x 1.5 mi @ tempo (7:00), 5 easy (9:02). I could not have hit my times more perfectly. If I'm not ready for Pocono now, I'll never be.

      Nice work out there. When my calves are tight I use a tennis ball (sit on the floor with legs extended, place a tennis ball under the calf and roll both along and against the grain of muscle)

      Nice work this am. Hopefully lots of women are dusting off the booty shorts in preparation for the Po Po. By the way, at the Philly Zoo 5k I just did, one of the male runners was topless and wearing bicycle shorts (you know, like super tight ones) UNDER what looked like a pair of Speedos. It was not a good look. Let's hope you don't run behind anything like that on race day.

    Decided to swap a 6 miler for boot camp today. My hamstring & foot hurt from the half I did Sunday. Taper madness? Who knows? 12 days!
