Tuesday tidings 8/18

riley0003 · Aug 18, 2009

Good morning all. I'm very tired because I didn't sleep well last night. I kept waking up and thinking about work and I couldn't stop; finally I just gave up and got out of bed and have been answering emails. 
No runs for me today but I did end up doing some spinning last night and I worked up a good sweat. 
As for hydration, I use the Nuun tablets when it's particularly hot & humid and they help me a lot. Mostly I just use lots of cold water, though. I drink 2 cups of coffee every morning but water all the rest of the day. I don't like soda and almost never drink it. I like a good ice-cold beer once in a while, and a nice glass of wine (or 2 or 3!) on rare occasion. 
Enjoy your day everyone and run a couple of miles for me.

No running for me today, having done some 3 days in a row I don't want to overdo it. 
23 on the bike was fine this morning although my legs are still suffering from Sunday(DOMS). This is a bugger as I have a bike race this evening!!!!! 
Relax and enjoy

Good Morning! 
Glad to hear you are making good progress Gobi! 
5M, avg 7:53. Glad to hold on to that pace this morning - 72°, 93% humidity and the dew point is 70° at 8:00 in the morning - blah. I don't know how you Texans run in your weather!

Okay, I'm going to vent for a while. Bear with me ... 
Well, I'm officially tired of running in South Florida in the summer. Can't it just please ease up a little? Or can't I just move? It's taking all the energy out of me. 
This morning the schedule was for 10 miles total with 10 x 1 minutes @ 5K pace (7:20) with 1 minute jog recoveries between each. I got it done but it wasn't pretty. 
The first fast bit came in at 12:14 min/mile avg (??? as if ...) with a maximum speed of 107.8 mph (!!! I wish ...). Now if i can just harness that max. speed! 
The other more "normal" fast parts came in at: 
7:49, 7:55, 7:39, 7:26, 7:32, 7:23, 7:20, 7:29, and 7:24. The pace was all over the place. And these were only 1 minute repeats ... 
It might just be the weather which was brutal. 80° and 76% at 4:45 AM. But I've been struggling for a week now. And I am dead tired after this one. I think it may be time to shut it down for awhile till my resting HR tells me it's time to get back out there. I'll see what Coach thinks.

Good morning all, Bill, you need to retire up to NC for the summer months, it's a boring 71F almost every morning <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"> 
I woke up on the late side today but still managed to get my run in. 
10.20 MOH @ 8:53 pace...ramping up for the Ridge to Bridge in Oct.

Pink · Aug 18, 2009

Bill - you are definitely allowed to whine in your weather conditions!! I forgot to include you with my Texans!

Good racing this evening, gobi. 
What news, Dr. Beast? 
All you struggling in the H&H can stop reading now.

6 easy miles, 9:35/mi, 69% AHR 
I just let my mind and feet wander. Most pleasant. 
Reggie wanted me to tell you that he joined me for the first 2 miles.

dagnebbit. 
Left my running gear in the kitchen. Looks like I'll be running this evening. 
Just want you all to know that I know all about the bananas. And I'll deal with you when you least expect it. 
As you were.

...and that is why we missed Sal so much!!!!! Glad I never used a banana.

Sans Souci · Aug 18, 2009

Sorry. Pressed the wrong button. 
1hr + 4x100m strides (or thereabouts) 
Forgot (doh!) I'm on the <a href="http://friendsofcdatrails.org/CdA_Trail/index.html" target="_blank">Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes</a>! Soft running surface along pristine creeks and rivers, marshes (tons of birds). Over 75 miles of trail! Animals scurrying around. Nice nice nice. 
Cool, sunny, gorgeous. Mountains all around. Sugary sweet. 
<tap tap tappity tap> Ahem. Paging Dr. D!

JJJessee · Aug 18, 2009

I only used one, but I'd do it again. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue5.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="tongue5">

Hemerocallus · Aug 18, 2009

Can I join the whine? 
3 miles ..... 26°C (78.8F) at 70% RH, feeling like 34C (93F). 
This H&H is sapping the sproink from my legs and desire from my heart! 
Blech<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue6.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="tongue6">. 
ETA...... sounds fabulous, SS! And cool!

Slowly crawling out from under my rock. Been running but not reporting. Second day of plan for Columbus Marathon on October 18th. 19 miles in the books for today. 
Been very busy with cross country. My first year as head coach.

Mill - send those temps to Massachusets. Please! 
Sal - I'm glad you're back. 
Mid to upper 70's, 93% - just the way I like it. 12M, 1:40:24, 8:22 pace. I decided there's no point in killing myself today, so it was just a nice GA. - In these conditions, I'm using Gatorade, cut with 50% H2O. 
Is there an RR from Dale in our future? 
Mike
