not to beat my chest or anything but when it was revealed that Peter would be "blowing up" New York the FIRST thing that popped in my mind was "well his brother could simply fly him up to the edge of the atmosphere and let go of him thus saving New York". And that's what happened. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/headbang.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="headbang">

good morning all!<br><br>
Well, obvoiusly yesterday was very warm. At the start it was in the mid 70s with dew points in the low 70s. Ew. Race (Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon) could not start early as the first miles were on a county road and were not lit well. So, it started at 8 a.m. The race is all put on by volunteers so they were not able to respond to the increased heat with additional water stops...not good. After the start, I got on the bus and took a ride to mile 10.5 where I would start leg #3 of the relay race. By the time people started to come through at 10.5, everyone was drenched and not looking too hot. I saw Baggs and he was not happy. Finally when my team member came in at about 1:50 into the race, I would estimate that 70% of the people were already walking. This is 10.5 miles in. An emergecy vehicle had already gone down the road to pick up someone in the ditch. not good<br><br>
I started out and my legs were screaming at me and then immediately I had to go to the bathroom (i was well hydrated <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"> ). Unfortunately, the next break area was almost 2 miles in. I was thinking to myself, oh my, I might not even finish my leg. I was able to stretch out the legs during the potty break and after that it went ok. I was getting a bit overheated when I saw they were handing out ice and remembered a trick I was told...Stick ice down your bra. Man, this is the best thing EVER in a hot race. It was like my internal temp dropped 5 degrees and I got a second wind. I backed off my pace so I wouldn't be sick (running about 930s or so) and easily came into the check point. I had told my 4th runner that I would run her leg with her. It was her first real race and with the conditions, I thought she would need some company. After i picked her up, I told her "let's have a goal that we don't walk, except through water stations". She was up for it so we started to truck along. Almost right away someone was handing out ice. "Put this down your bra!" She looked at me pretty weird but did it and she was also amazed at the change. I think that during that last leg I always had ice in my bra and it made a world of difference!!!! Anyways, we finished strong and met our goal. Our team finished in about 4:45 which isn't too bad since I was the only person prior to signing up that ran on a regular basis.<br><br>
Review of the race (or at least what I ran of it 15.7):<br>
Great crowd support!!!! They were awesome, totally awesome. It was similar to Fargo in that respect and as I wasn't racing it, I was able to enjoy and interact with the crowd. There were high fives all around!<br><b>Terrible</b> - coordination - roads were not closed off making the runners run most of the race on the shoulder of the road.<br>
Not enough water stops<br>
Not enough volunteers for crowd control<br>
The last 2 miles were on the biking path on the lake and we had to dodge bikers and other rec. runners. Not cool.<br><br>
Big thanks to <b>Melissa</b> for checking on me and giving us the low down on the other racers!!<br><br><b>Korbels</b> Great job. FYI you beat Sven!!!<br><br><b>Maria</b> Good call on pulling out. It wasn't worth getting sick over and you have another chance real soon. Smart girl!! Good news that little sis is out of the hospital<br><br><b>Pacer</b> Amazing that you were able to hit the pacing goal in those conditions. you the man<br><br>
If I forgot anyone, I apologize!!!

Morning 30s!<br><br>
I have today off from work so I'm actually able to post during the day! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
First and foremost <b>Maria & Sis</b> - Glad you are both okay. I'm sorry for the way things ended for you.<br><br>
I want to send out my congrats to all who ran this past weekend! <b>Winter, Dom, and anyone I'm forgetting</b> - Great job out there! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br><b>QOD:</b> I'm going to go with October 14th at 11:30am. If I have a good day on the course next Sunday that should be about the time I finish the Bay State Marathon. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Speaking of next weekend, I just checked the long range forecast for Sunday. Those who did Chicago this past weekend are going to hate me for posting this. The long range forecast is calling for a morning low of 42 degrees, and a daytime high of 60 degrees with partly to mostly sunny skies. So, if the wind isn't blowing like crazy, it sounds like nearly a perfect day for a marathon.<br><br>
I just hope I can get out there on Sunday and run a good performance. After what happened in the Equinox, I really would like to run a good one. I'm hoping for a PR (< 3:42:41), and I'm hoping to have fun. My stretch goal I think will be a < 3:30. If the weather conditions are as predicted, and the wind isnt' blowing like crazy, I'll have a chance. I'm taking nothing for granted though, not after the Equinox.<br><br>
Today I have a bunch of stuff to do. Gotta clean the house and I have to go grocery shopping. If the rain will stop, I'd like to change the oil in my car. But if not, I also have 2 bags of apples to peel, core and make applesauce and/or par-boil preserve. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Okay folks, enjoy your day! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>

More seriously, that's some good running you did with yesterday's weather and helping your person on the relay team.

So good to hear from <b><span style="color:#008000;">Maria</span></b> and <b>Brandy!</b><br><br><b>Dom beat Sven!?? WOOT!</b><br><br>
Waiting anxiously to hear from <b>Baggs,</b> then we have everyone covered correct?<br><br><b>Good luck MOE!!</b> I am taking the walk/run approach into my 1/2 on Oct 21. You will do just fine! It feels good being able to get some miles in, however they may be, walking or running!<br><br><b>Maples</b> Hang in there, and take a break if you need one from running it's ok. Or better yet, if you need a little motivation sign up for a 10k something as a goal!

<b>QOD response #2:</b> you know, we haven't seen <b>boB</b> yet today. I know he isn't posting much from work, but he has tried posting in the a.m. before work some days. Wouldn't it be funny if we were all guessing later this week and they turned out to be in the hospital right now? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

Good Morning <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
No work for me today. I didn't work on Thursday or Friday of last week either. I got to sit around and be lazy. There is lots for me to catch up on. Good to hear about our runners being safe. I kept up with the Chicago race yesterday via internet. Crazy. That is all I have to say about it. I'll try and catch up to all these pages and then come back and post. I do remember that <b>Winter</b> ran a HM yesterday (is there a race report somewhere?) and that <b>Moe</b> is running something today. Good luck <b>Moe</b>!<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">
