Plans...

It's been a short week since I was off on Monday for Veteran's Day, but I'm still so glad that it is Friday! I had my first turkey and associated Thanksgiving foods at our Department Thanksgiving luncheon today. Now, I need a nap.

I ran an easy 4-miles on TLT last night (instead of the 6 or 7 mile fartlek that the intermediate and advanced runners were scheduled to do). No shin pain, but my left calf was really tight and causing me some problems while I ran. As a result, I'm going to give sports massage a try (in addition to ART) because I think my tight calves are one of the underlying problems that causes some of my other problems if not properly addressed. So, I have an appointment on Wednesday afternoon. The long run tomorrow morning is 6, 7, or 10 (depending on level) on TLT. I'm going to see how my legs feel, but I will be alright if I only run 6. That will still put my mileage for week 1 at 30 miles, which is a good start. And, you have to start again somewhere...

I think this is interesting and I'm not sure what to make of it. The marathon at Big Sur is 37% full (limited to 4,500), while the 21-miler has already sold out (race is April 27, 2008).

We don't have any set plans for this weekend, which is kind of nice since it seems like the next month will be hectic (but good). We finally made plans last night for a trip to Atlanta for my brother's college graduation and K's birthday celebration in a few weeks. I had hoped to go to ATL for the graduation then fly out from there to somewhere else, like NYC or DC, for the weekend, but we couldn't get the flight schedule to work out and there's nowhere cool within easy driving distance. So, we'll spend 4 days in ATL instead.
