<p>Great clip Roly. That could be me if I could make the distance. At the moment, my achilles tendon kills when I touch it. Classic tendonitis. Even a week off running didn't make a dent even with icing every day. Injuries suck. It's becoming more apparent that my running a race this year is fading fast.<img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad5.gif" title=""></p>

Welcome to my nightmear Merc. I am seriously considering the SI surgery and a hip replacement, nothing else seems to help. I was able to run 4 miles this morning but it will cost me some discomfort for the next few days. $%##@$%?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gro what happend this week-end did you run??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone race? ...Train? ...Hurt? ...Overeat (DR)? ...Stay up all night with a crying baby? ...Drink too much? I was sober all week-end!!!</p>

<p>All the above, except the sobriety.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back in the office :-(.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I almost managed to run everything that I had planned while on vacation. I only missed a couple runs because of 8-hour drives between here and Cape Cod.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Roly, Merc, I hope you make the right decisions about the interventions. They are both tough decisions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TB, I'm getting tired of saying congrats. You are on a roll, my man.</p>

<p>Is it just me? I'm color blind, especially with blue-grey and I have a hard time seeing anything on this newly formatted Kickrunners site. Is there a way to change the back colors or whatever on here. Help me out here tekkies!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ran last night for the first time in about 10 days. An easy 5 miler on the grass at about 8 min./mile. At the end of it all, I had a sore piriformis (that I struggled with for 2 years before it went away!) and the burning foot, otherwise OK. This morning my butt cheeks are really stiff & sore- don't say it Roly!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thought I saw Gro running along Westmount Ave. yesterday as I drove along. Whoever it was sure looked good!</p>
 
#5,926 ·
<p>I took a quick look and nope, I got nothing about changing the colour scheme.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If Roly doesn't say it, then I will: "Go easy on the butt cheeks, Merc!"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was up early this morning for a 20K jog, but felt so terrible (at what should be a comfortable pace) I had to cut it short at 16K. I've got a mild case of fatigue. I guess it's time to eat my greens and ween myself off the vacation boozing.</p>

Must be an over-use injury. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif" title=""></p>

<p>Merc:  Admit it, you do it for the attention.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Track workout was fun yesterday.  2 sets of 4 repeats consisting of 1:40 on followed by 1:20 jog with a 5 minute jog between sets. At that time in the evening, the sun shines brightly one half of the track while the other half is sheltered by shade. As a result, we only suffered for half of each repeat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm looking forward to running the 5km in St. Hubert this weekend with DF.  It should be fun. Let's hope for good weather.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TB</p>

<p>Roly, admit it, you do it because you like the dance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a good workout, TB. We did the same tonight. Running just over one lap of a 400m track is just the right distance. I may join you guys in St-Hubert if I manage to buy a fridge before the weekend. Ours just busted. Is there anything worse than the plop! of curdled milk as it drops into your cereal?</p>

<p>I do like to dance. Now put the bottle down and walk away slowly. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif" title=""><br>

<p>Thanks to DF for making this morning's 5km in St. Hubert possible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warm and humid conditions this morning. The course contained many twists and turns and a few hills throw in for good measure. I wanted to see if the time I ran two weeks ago in Brossard was an anomaly.  I was delighted to discover that I could a 3:45/km pace without falling apart. I had enough left in me for a final sprint. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>KZ: We missed you this morning. I think you would have had fun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Odd: My watch recorded a time of 18:44 whilst the chip time indicates 18:41.  I take it :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TB</p>
<p> </p>
<p>18:41 (pb)</p>

<p>You're welcom TB, congratulations on your fast finish.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice course, lucky there was some cloud cover and some wind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Difficult for me, leg has been buggy more than normal lately, will give it some time off this week.  Cycle, go to the pool, walk my neighbour's beagle, Charlie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone else running this weekend ?</p>
 
#5,937 ·
<p>Great runs you two! TB, two solid races in a row is a great sign. If I don't squeeze in a race soon, DDO is going to hurt...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This weekend was fridge shopping for me. I couldn't run yesterday, but managed to run long today for about 24Ks on the mountain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My racing plans have changed. MTL half-marathon is out and Granby is in. Apparently I can't back out on a family tradition up in Tremblant on Labour Day weekend, although I thought an event had to occur at least a couple times before calling it a "tradition" <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/huh.gif" title="">.</p>

<p>Congrats TB nice PB.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Short run for me this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grommit  the training is going slower then I hoped, I'll train slow and try to pick a race next year maybe try the XC half. So no Vermont this fall.</p>
<p> </p>
