I think we all need a break from parts of our lives from time to time. Great time to get a green car! I think we all wish we had a car that could do that type of mileage! Glad to have you back!

Out of the blue 2 months ago (I think it was from horsing around with my kids) I tweaked my knee. I don't know what I did but quit running for a couple months and just did speed walking on a 15% incline treadmill. I am doing the Pikes Peak Marathon in August so I figured what the heck this will jumpstart my training. 2 months later my aerobic fitness is great, but holy cow I went for a 30 minute run and my quads blew up! How silly, just a normal run. But immediately they came back and my body feels so much more fresh from not having had impact on it for awhile. I have the feeling your knees, ankles, back, and everything else will thank you for the rest. Sometimes breaks can be a GREAT thing.

I use a Garmin and Sporttracks, too (in addition to the Sportband - I never take the iPod anymore even on my long runs) I must look like a partial cyborg with the Garmin on one wrist and a white cotton glove and the Sportband on the other!) How did the Bay to Breakers go? Are there pictures? Will there be a race report? And... (Jerry! Great comment! "Oh, I meant KILOMETERS") Jaime,

The web service sounds cool, but I don't use NIKE+. I do use a Garmin and SprotTracks, though. And I use CareLink, but not a CGMS at this time. How flexible are you going to make it? I am also way behind on my mileage goal. I set a goal of 2K, and I will only have a little over 600 miles at the end of May. Don't be surprised if I just say, "Oh, I meant KILOMETERS." when it gets to December. Hi, Jamie,

I was starting to wonder if you had taken a great vacation to somewhere far away or something. Sounds like you have been super busy, as usual! Hope you have a great weekend, Katie I. :) Hey Jamie– I’m glad you’re back!! I was starting to wonder if you had taken a great vacation to somewhere far away or something.
