I feel like sometimes injuries cause us to appreciate our wellness more. :) I, too, am following the Pfitz 18/55 plan, to start at the end of June. I'm going to modify the 20-runs out to 22.5 or 23; my last long run before the marathon a couple of weeks ago, was about 22.5 miles. I found that psychologically, it was HUGE! (Hint--if you walk around for about 1/2 to 45 minutes after your long runs, you will recover faster--I found this out while trying to find my car after that run!) LOL! I love your posts, so please be sure to keep us updated on how the training is going! Besos! Hi Flo, so happy to hear you ran pain free!

Good to know what your body can take as far as training before it breaks down. Hope this go round is easier for you, should be since you have a base already. <strong>Dan</strong>...aw, I'm so sorry to hear you're hurtin'! Especially with important stuff coming up. Try not to freak out and if you need to, take a day or two off! It certainly won't harm your training, you've been like clockwork for a long time now, except for the bout of flu or whatever you had. Here's to a strong, pain free quad! Oh, and be proactive, ice, stick, whatever you can do to help it, do. Bruce, sounds like a plan!

Pulled my left quad doing speedwork tonight, so I guess I will take your place on the injured list. Test #2 is only 3 weeks away, too, so I am pretty much scared shitless now :( Anyway, maybe I will check that movie out while I heal :) Good to hear you are back on track :)

I like Glovers plan. I just move days around a little. And I do prefer the LSD every other week, more recovery time. If I do Akron like me and some others have discussed I will do more hill work, or like Yasso suggests in his plan, find a route thats real hilly for that distance and run it hard. Not like an easy plan. I think I got shin splint from jumping up mileage too fast and it probably part of my problem in race. Mid 40′s sounds about right for me. I like Glovers plan.

Lol, I teared up, too, it was so crazy moving. Bianca was great, even though she didn't have any lines. :) Unexpected in so many ways! Lol, I teared up, too, it was so crazy moving.

I teared up at the end and then felt really embarrassed for crying over a movie about a sex doll. =P Lars and the Real Girl was so unexpectedly sweet.

I see you asked about the Yasso book, I'm interested if anyone knows. Glover's plan looks good, 3 20s and a 22. Is mid-40s as high as you'd like to peak?
