Dear Pen Pal,

Welcome back (for another three weeks)!

It's super cool you get to relay with Lennie at CIM. What an opportunity! It's cool (and a positive sign, on the recovery front) that you could do a ten miler a week after the marathon. I hope this week provided you good weather, good runs, good rest, good recovery.

Re: Burying memories of marathon soreness. Yep. What's that you say about walking backward down stairs for a week after the marathon because tender quads did not approve of eccentric extensions? Don't remember.

Re: Toenail photos. Despite the relatively untapped nature of the market for such income streams, probably a prudent decision.

Re: Rice team photo. Does Lennie have a doppelgänger in row two?!

Re: 1k mi. Congratulations!!! Set goals, work toward them :)

See you on Sunday!

Love this comment. To address subpoints:

- I'm super pumped to run with Lennie. I've always run better with a baton in my hand.

- Glad I'm not the only one with post-race amnesia.

- You're definitely welcome I did not share pics. And, as a plot twist, I don't think they're going to fall off!

- OMG Laura does look like a mini Lennie in this. Not so much in real life, but the photo is wild.

- 🥳 (and should I do 2K next year?)

1000 miles. wow! Isn’t that an unusually large number for a nonprofessional?💐🎶❤️
