Thanks, Ninjaboookey -- I never have considered my curls to be strong -- but I have realized they aren't as weak as my shoulder and chest exercises.

SUNDAY 4-10-05:

12.8 mile run. Time = 97:53. Ave. pace = 7:39.

I worked outside planting a vegetable garden for much of the day Sunday and was fairly sun-fried by the time I decided to go running (5pm). Overall the run went fairly well. For this distance and course difficulty, it's a slight improvement pacewise versus some of my recent long runs. I think if this run had not followed squats/deads on Fri. night and a fast-paced, difficult run on Saturday, I would have been able to keep my pace a little faster. At least now that I am moving off the pre-packaged weight training programs and onto my own workouts, I can maneuver exercises around so that they don't compromise the harder runs.

I have one workout left in BOM. Then I'll take about one week off from lifting, since I haven't done that for a long time. I should be able to get some decent runs in this week. Next week, I'll return to weights and plan to go easier on the running in advance of my 15K race on 4/23.

It seems that my calf has healed for now... no aggravation at all the past two days. My knees are still grumbling a little bit while running, but afterwards they feel fine.
