Some interesting post in the last couple days.  I think congrats to you DH, but I can definitely understand your trepidation in giving up the flex time. I can understand Rich's desire to do something part-time, just to keep the head in the game and to interface with other folk.  I "retired" for a few months and got into a little consulting which led to a full-time job.  I left that and have been looking for something that can make a little money and allow me to be active in business.  An opportunity came up to partner with a friend to attempt building a business around sourcing products and representing companies in either direction between the USA and Vietnam.  My partner is a VN national and has been a successful entrepreneur both here and in Vietnam.  The hours are flex but the opportunity "could" be large, depending on our efforts.  The perfect job is one that doesn't seem like a job because its enjoyable.  Doing something around running would be fun, but haven't figured one out yet.

Today I did a slow 10 miler, and overall felt pretty good, never having any I want to quit moments, even got a brief runners high going.  It has been very surprising how well my legs feel after running, a result of more miles and I think the right shoes.  Yesterday I did 4, so my total for the week was 3x4 plus 10 to total 22 (thanks for asking Ray.)  I want to continue something like this routine, a long run, some interval/tempo stuff, till my half 12/9.  I am not going to get obsessed about trying to do a PR type run, but just want to have a good experience.

Good runs to all.  I'm walking 18 tomorrow as a recovery activity.  The weather is suppose to be in the 70's, which is no doubt the last of that kind of temps. 

3 miles on the treadmill, 23:40 - mile times 8:46, 7:52, 7:02.  Another 6 miles walking through SF.  Beautiful day, low 70's, high 60's and lots of sun.

Interesting discussion on dominant side.  I do know for me, my dominant side is much stronger.  Remember reading or hearing that it was a challenge for body builders to develop the non-Dominant side to maintain symmetry.  I'm not ambidextrous, but can switch hit and play ping pong left handed and until recently could wear the same contacts on both sides.  Which is to say, I'm a bit more symmetrical then average and my right upper body is better developed than my left.

Don't know about the legs.  I kick with my right and jump with off my left.  Don't think there is a big difference between my legs, at least not visible to me.  I'd have to do some tests to determine strength differences.
