Or maybe I'm just wussing out. <BR/><BR/>Good luck and get well soon.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I just paged through a magazine with an article about training and the immune system. Havem't read it yet though.qcmierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993355080112850236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-1160204016919769482006-10-06T23:53:00.000-07:002006-10-06T23:53:00.000-07:00Good luck!!!

If you are planning on your first HIM next year in March 31st, doing this half marathon too hard might not give u enough time to rest (off season) and build up the base again.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps u can aim for a HIM later in the year like in July. <BR/><BR/>I hope your head does feel better.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227378544813320248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-1160196465976952932006-10-06T21:47:00.000-07:002006-10-06T21:47:00.000-07:00Sounds like a really fun event!

Head about to explode... immense pain in my ears! I was with business assoc. I didn't really know, so I tried my best to not show how much pain I was in. Plus, I couldn't hear a darn thing. They must have thought I was weird cuz I kept saying, "what?, huh?, what?" :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885770216606595157noreply@blogger.com
