Personal:

I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

 4 mile tempo tonight with 1 WU and 1 CD

Tempo splits 7:11, 7:09, 7:12, 7:10

It felt almost easy till about 2.5 then I had to talk my way through the end. Jackie and I are pretty evenly matched now so it is nice to have someone pushing me along.

Amy came too.

I iced my knee early today and I didn't noticed it on the run at all. :)

Did you go to eharmony.com to see if you were evenly matched?

Way to go Britta! Do you have a knee injury? Tell me your recovery secrets....I'm still out with the achilles tendonitis injury : (

Hey Casey,

No I don't have a knee injury. I just ice anything if it feels a little bit funky. The secret is to slowly build your mileage and ice immediatley if something feels off. Anyways that's what I do and I have never had a running injury. Hope you heal quickly!
