3 easy.

Followed by one hour step interval class.

I'm sort of on cruise control, better than doing nothing.  However, my diet always tanks when I cut back on my workouts.

Sounds like you are plugging along, keeping your base milage up. Are you planning on doing any racing any time soon? I just did a 5k last weekend, my next race will be Painter's 1/2 in Jan. if I do that one. If not, it culd be Feb or Mar before I race again.

Rhett --

I'm just barely staying fit, but its better than complete atrophy. I've not got any races planned. I should look into it, but will wait until after the holidays. My main goal is to avoid injury. My left calf, which really tightened up at SGM, is still a bit sore so I am sensitive to it.

I saw your 5K PR. Very good Job -- you beat me to sub 3:00 and to sub 19:00.

You know Paul, I have the same problem. I cut back mileage and rack up the calories. I made some yummy cookies on Monday and they are almost gone. You're probably thinking...5 kids, not a big deal. My kids didn't like them so I've eaten almost all of them.

Paul, I've been meaning to ask you, how come you don't run outside? You really should start joining the running group. We've got a great group going.

Yeah Paul, you should join the BBK's some time.
