Nice to see the healing hammy and all the great work this past week!

(I can't fathom running 20 miles in 79 degrees with a 73-degree dewpoint, Doug. That's seriously impressive.)

Me, I kept it on the easy side in this last week before wife and kid go back to school.

Next week, I'll probably start adding in a little more activity.

Week 12 of 18 for the Chicago marathon is in the books, I can't believe how the warm weather this past week has wiped me out at times. Good thing this weekend was not a long run but two easy runs. Sincerely hoping this later summer warm weather doesn't last for long even though I like it outside of running.

Great to hear the hammie is responding, Michael. And yes, John,this week the weather just sucked.
