Well, I did my 6 weeks of bed rest before they're born so I'm ready to move around more.

Texas tax free weekend on school supply, cloth, shoes etc. $260 spent on two pairs of training shoes, socks, singlet, and shorts, guess I have to keep running.

bummer week.

have been recovering from a right hamstring issue and it was coming along nicely.  Planning on running the 10 mile Crim this Sat followed by Chi.

went on a houseboat vacation with the family on Lake Cumberland in KY.  Found some nice hilly runs.

Thu nite for my last water ski of the week I popped my left hamstring.  No more running.  Hobbled through Mammoth Cave on Fri.  Feel somewhat better today but still have to limp around.

Damn.

Was a great vaca though.

"Popped" and "hamstring" are two words that should never be in the same sentence....

Heal quickly!
