And I think you are going to surprise yourself with your un-training. I followed that method last year for 2 races and it was great.

I laughed out loud at your EKG reference, because I actually thought the same thing when I saw it! Guess that comes with being married to a doctor for 16 years (previous marriage) and working for one for 8! :)<br /><br />Good luck this weekend in Wisconsin and above all ....just enjoy your time with Holly! I'm sure it is much needed for the both of you!
