Very nice hydration pack @Orphia ! I expect a full review. I'm interested in getting one suitable for running.
I think I'll be able to walk wo crutches by my next visit the 24th. So thank Hercules. (He's above my house directly, can not be by mistake. The constellation, in case you were puzzled). No he's mine. He can not, will not be over your house too. ya, I'm feeling a bit better. Herc is mine. Don't forget that.

Overview:
Another day of cross training instead of running. Except my planned bike ride got cut quite a bit short due to bike problems, so I guess I'll try again tomorrow! Leg is definitely on the mend, but not quite up to running yet; I tried a quick jog down the hallway and it didn't feel so good I'm really hoping tuesday or wednesday I will be back to running! I'm missing it like crazy, plus now I'm starting to feel really nervous about my ability to complete a marathon given this time off and how slow I'll most likely have to take things when I start running again.
Upcoming races:
8/07: Chicago 10K 51:59 - not my best by a long shot but I'll take it
8/26: Rock the Night 5K
9/10: Chicago Women's Half Marathon
9/25: Lifetime 5K
10/09: Chicago Marathon
10/30: Hot Chocolate 5K

Omnomnom.. best get on it. It's a long way from there to here.
That's one freaky colonel. I bet he comes with rum or roofies or both.2 -

Currently watching the women's 1500m preliminaries and wondering why they run in a tight little pack like that. I would be FREAKING OUT. Give me space!3

I tend to run a lot when I am there. Typically, I am floored by the humidity, but this year I think it has been as bad here as it ever is there, so it shouldn't be much different. Plus, ocean breezes.
I just like knowing that the asphalt isn't likely to shift under my nearly-200# weight landing on it....1 -
@RespectTheKitty I'm watching it too. Would be better if Stan'd hurry up with that ruffied chicken (roofied if you watched the Hangover).1

I could go for some fried chicken. Wait, no... I'm a vegetarian. How about fried tofu?2

They are drafting off of each other.

Also, as part of racing strategy, you wanna keep up with the lead pacer.

Oh, that makes sense.
I'd still be freaking out. That's why I'm not an Olympic runner.2 -
