3 mile walk with hubby.  Quads are very sore but other than that everything feels great.  This tells me I need to get off the treadmill and do a little more down hill training.

Or more down hill training on the treadmill :)

Ya, more hills would do me some good as well. Glad to hear you are feeling okay today. Now that it's warmer up there you should be able to get some nice outdoor runs in.

I wish if only our gym treadmills had a decline option!

Well, you could take something to the gym to prop up the backs of the treadmills and run a decline. If they break, you can just sweet talk the gym folks like you do the cops.

LOL! Ya, some old encylopedias might do the trick Paul.

Nice job Kathie!!! :)

Okay Paul, seriously ... would propping up the treadmill from the back work? Would that be smart to do to the treadmill? Could it damage it? Seriously.

I hear what you're saying about the downhill training, Kathie...

Teena, I read an article about someone that did a lot of their downhill training on a treadmill by putting some reams of paper under the back to prop it up. I actually asked RivertonPaul about that a few days ago. I was wondering if it would damage the treadmill, too. I might give it a try.

I can't believe your quads would be sore with all that spinning you do. I do think running outside is better for race preparation than running on a TM though. It helps you learn to guage your pace without the help of the TM.

Don't feel bad, I spin/ride HARD three days a week and my quads were a little sore after Ogden.

Glad to hear the recovery is coming around.

I saw "StarTrek" Friday night after reading your great review. Very cool movie! Thanks! (I'm also glad that JT won Survivor...I was originally routing for Stephen...but flopped over to JT after hearing Stephen's closing statements. JT definitely deserved it.)
