Saturday 12/15 Runs

hopeful4ever · Dec 15, 2007

Good Morning! Skip You are a very lucky man! Your post brought a little tear to my eye. 
I went out for 7.75 very cold and windy miles. I'm so tired now that I'd love to just take a nap. As a matter of fact, after going to the store I might do just that! 
MrHopeful just went and bought a used plow for his truck . . . . so lets all sing, "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow . . . . . 
Cheers!

Good morning Masters. Managed to get 6.78 miles in this morning. 26 degrees with a windchill of 12 (22 mph winds with higher gusts). It didn't feel that bad unless I was running directly into it. Very bleak out with the wind and clouds. Now its off to shower and pick up drycleaning, get a tire mounted and two Christmas parties tonight. Have a good weekend.

At some point I'll go to the Y and run on the treadmill. I'm not too inspired because it's a 9-miler. In the meantime, I made turkey chili and there's nobody to eat it. DW's at a basketball game, DD just woke up at her friend's sleepover and DS is asleep because he had a soccer team all-night party. 
Hup, if you get online today I've got a little story for you. I was sitting here on kick last night when the doorbell rang, so I went to the door, but nobody was there. The UPS guy was running to his truck, ready to make the next delivery. For a moment, I had visions of a Garmin 205 dancing in my head. Then I saw the package he had delivered-a shredder for a SIL. I know it's on the way because I saw DW order it at amazon.com the other day. I'm like a kid again fiddling with the packages, I guess.

Less than enthusiastic run for me today. Too many hours had gone by since having breakfast by the time I got out to the park, so I think I was just hungry. Still have to figure out what I can eat and how soon before running so I don't get that lead balloon feeling in my stomach. On the days that I don't teach, it's not a problem, but hey, the people at the gym want their yoga first thing in the morning too! 
5.5 miles in 53:35. Good runs to all!

Good Morning Boomers and Kickrunners! Light snow on the Bitterroot this morning and not too cold. A photo of some visitors this morning along with a little additional artistic editing. I am impressed the ease with which photo's can be posted on kickrunners and of course the increased speed. Might do a short dream mill run later. Good runs All, Larry<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><img alt="" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/RunsTheBitterroot/deer1_2.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

An Orangemat run here. A less than enthusiastic 5M in 40m. 
BTW, Lou, my yearly mileage is at 1200.

Larry, nice collage. 
We also had a few of them critters 
in our backyard this AM, 
no snow though. 
I wonder if they make 
a good corndog?

It says that Spareribs is around. Hey, newbie. Check out my 5k RR: <a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16386" target="_blank">http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16386</a>

Skip, Dan sounds like a special kid. 
Larry, pretty pictures as usual. 
I had a wonderful long run today. My running friend and I met a group who was running the trails down by the river. They are a VERY fast group and we knew we'd get left in the dust. But we enjoyed the 2 minutes we were in contact with them and then happily did our own thing. She and I logged 9 miles together and then I ran another 2 miles after she left because I didn't feel quite ready to stop. So 11 miles total at a 10:30 pace, which included a couple of walk breaks for gel and water. Starting temp was 19 degrees with the "feels like" temp about 5. The trails were mostly clear but there were some icy/snowy patches in the shade. 
Have a great weekend everyone! 
[ETA: Plus 30 min core work -- planks, crunches, etc]

Thanks Hally.....looks like a winner. 
Good luck with tomorrow's run Renaldo. You can wear the new compression shorts and a singlet. Should be perfect for the toasty warm conditions.

Peter · Dec 15, 2007

Hey Larry, nice photo! A customer of mine just gave me about 10 lbs. of frozen venizon to bring home this morning...I'm going to try & attempt to cook it later today, maybe make a stew. I've never had it before. He told me that it's got very little fat. 
I just feel funny eating it now that I've seen your photo...<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad">

Tamster · Dec 16, 2007

Good morning, err afternoon everyone! Sounds like there are some good runs taking place across the board here today. I was planning on going to the gym for a TM run after I drop DS off at a bday party at 2 p.m., but there's no reason to not run outside and get the fresh air. Really not looking forward to driving into town just to run on a TM. So I'll drop him off at his party which is actually at a house that is right along my usual running route. I'm shooting for anywhere between 10-12 mi depending on how I'm feeling. Days like this I wish I had a garmin, because I don't want to map out my run. I'm just going to run and maybe take a few new side roads here and there. I'll just run by time today and whereever the wind takes me. Have a good afternoon everyone.

<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/occasion14.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="occasion5"> To Souci on a great run! Life is good, is it not? 
I still plan to get in 3 on the TM today. I woke up with a migraine, however, and have been lounging around waiting for the little pills to start working. 
Actually, we're going to take the kids to a museum this afternoon. (The one we're going to always has a nice Christmas display.) I think I can handle that with the residual headache I still have. Hopefully when we get home I'll feel good enough to hop on the TM. 
Have a nice rest of the weekend, and good runs, everyone.

riley0003 · Dec 16, 2007

I had a good yoga class today - a real killer one. Then I walked for 20 mins on the treadmill waiting for DH to finish up his spin class. This afternoon we visited a friend who has a brand new 10 week old Westie and boy oh boy is he a cutie pie! 
My knee is feeling MUCH better. Not quite 100% yet but approaching. If we don't get hit with a snow storm tonight/tomorrow morning, I'll try some TM running at the gym in the morning. 
Too many injuries this year, ugh. Hopefully 2008 will be better.

Dirt the other white meat · Dec 16, 2007

Nice running choovie...and I've seen the prices of OAR on Amazon...crazy...hang on to those copies 
I was sinking about econo and her bag...I know she is economical, but I never considered her to be a bag lady 
18 miles w/neg splits. I need to run 300/wk for the next 2 wks to catch WRFB...better get started...if you see a man running w/pizza, offer him a beer... 
later

Mustang Sally · Dec 16, 2007

Sans, I am so delighted that you got a good run in today. You'll have to come back down and do the Elk with me while you're still damaged enough that I can keep up with you. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/roll_eyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="roll_eyes"> 
12.5 miles with 2x30 min at MP in 39F and intermittent rain. The second MP piece was mostly uphill. Overall, it came in at 9:10 m/m. (Boy, I'm glad SportTracks converts units on the fly so nicely.) I took an ice bath afterward, which was shockingly cold, but I think it was worth it. Legs are tired but don't hurt at all. 
A bizarre thing happened during the interval between the workbouts: I passed a person and her dog (one of many on the run) and was overwhelmed with grief for Storm. I thought I was doing pretty well and had moved on - but I felt a tearing pain in my soul and keened out loud like a little child, trying to run all the while. It's a good thing runners generally look pretty rough anyway - but the tears mixed with the rain and I managed to brick it all over and compose myself for the rest of the run. 
I didn't like the feeling of having it all laid bare like that. It was frightening. Running is a funny thing...

Grief hits when you aren't expecting it. Let it out with those tears, Sal. Great run for you. I'd love an Elk Lake run any ol' time. 
WTG, Dirt. 
30 min row - 6480metres avg 2:18.1/500m, 24s/m (last 500m 2:14.5, 28s/m) 
50 min Workout 1 
Thinking about John and Rosie and millbot. 
Thanks, runin. Hope that headache went !poof!
