Ok, you know that Thursday I had my chapter test, a ten mile hill workout at Julie's (I earned an A+ :) and this weekend was my final exam.
Well, it went well. I almost studied too hard, I started on a run at Flatwoods on Friday, but Candi's advise sunk in, "Are you sure you want to run again on less than 24 hours rest with the weekend coming up." I wanted to, but I thought better of it, and after fighting traffic to get there, I ran one mile and then walked two.
So, what did I do. On Saturday, I ran 15 too fast miles which felt crappy, but the foot was solid. On Sunday I ran 10 slow miles which felt great, and the foot was ok.
So, what's my grade?
I'm giving myself an H. And that is Amy's suggestion, it's for working in my running, AFTER and AROUND, Ali's dance.
So here's the stats: In Th and this is where we are headed: e Grand Slam.
BTW, Foot Feels Good this morning, so I'm resting it, and heading for the Gym tonight.

Quotable
"You know what I call the guy who's DFL? A finisher!" Overhead at the back of the pack at Western States in 2009. It meant a lot more to me at the end than it did at mile 3 when I heard it.
"Hey were you DFL at Western States? So was I!" Some dude named Steve that I met at Umstead. He was DFL in 2006, I was DFL in 09.
Becky talking about the need for training partners, "It takes a village to run a 100-miler." June's reply, "Yeah, a village Idiot!" Priceless June Bug, priceless!
“We are not in a hurry anymore.” Roger to his crew as he entered Camp 10 Bear for the first time in the Vermont 100, Ouch! Darn evil doctors!
"Road Marathons Suck!" Words of wisdom from Professor ACG. Listen to him, he knows of what he speaks!
"It's slippery." From the dude lying on his back at the Alafia Trail 1/2, regarding the trail condition of the muddy downhill I was about to run. Thanks, now could you roll to the side.
"There is no Try, either Do or Do Not Do." Yoda. Ok, little man, that sounds like you have a Do-Do philosophy. There is no try may work for keeping the Dark Force at bay and saving an empire, but oh-great-wrinkled-one, we're talking about running 100 Miles. Now drop and give me 20, Mr. Jed-Eye!
To me, From an aid station volunteer at Ancient Oaks 100-mile trail run, "The difference is, You could do what I'm doing, I could never do what you are doing!"

Oh, you're heading to the Grand Slam all right...and I don't mean at Denny's! (Or First Crotch, in your case). You're on your way my fine friend. In fact, isn't it like 80-odd days til WS???
Well, let me know if you need ideas for cross-training :)
Star, don't forget you get to head over to First Watch next week and not feel guilty.
And, BTW, I liked your idea of stair climbing. Sounds like you have prepared yourself for whatever comes your way on Saturday !
'Twas on the other coast last week, purposefully void of computers and did not know you already progressed a letter in said time. Congratulations on your "H"onors grade in the course that's most heavily weighted.
Does this mean you get to wear an NHS pin when you cross the finish lines?
