2012 Training Day 150,151: 22K+16K recovery

The Olympics are on! The Ethiopians rained on our parade in the women's 10K and women's marathon. And Mo farah and Galen Rupp spoiled our party in the mens 10K.
WTF?
At any rate, it has been fun watching the competitions. And we missed a silver in the men's steeple when Kipruto fell with 700m to go. Bah!
 Uncertain week ahead but I want to up the mileage in Ebola land.
