Good Morning, Happy Hump Day!!<br><br>
Slept in today, I was so tired... Yesterday after dinner I had to go back to the office and didn't come back home until 9pm.. Today should be a better day.<br><br>
6 miles on the schedule for me which I will run at some point today. Outside is -8* with windchill and wind is howering around 20mph. It should improve in the afternoon, maybe I'll wait till then. We'll see..

Good Morning Amber!! WE're unpacked as much as we can for all the painting we are doing. The main floor should be done in couple of days. DH decided to put crown moldings in the living room and hallway, otherwise it would be finished already. Real Estate is going good, keeping me busy lately. How about you? What are you up to these days?<br><br>
Oh yeah.. no bike yet..

Good Morning Paul, Ty an Alemma!!<br><br>
Kitty Kat - Good Morning and biiiiiiiiig hugs to DD!!! We'll be thinking of both of you today!! ((((((((DD))))))))<br><br>
Good Morning Heather!! I'm so happy you are feeling better today.. WTG on the run and crunches! Do you think you would be feeling that much better if it was kidney infection?
 
#27 ·
Just wanted to check in before I shower.<br>
Heather - PLEASE go to the doctor if you think you have a kidney infection!!!!! That can get dangerous (trust me, I know!!).<br><br>
I ran 2 miles. It felt pretty good. A little discomfort, but it was definintely bareable. I stopped after 2 because I thought it was the smart thing to do. Then I went for a short swim. Not the hard core workout I like, but oh well.<br><br>
I will probably run another 2 tomorrow, take Friday off, and then try a longer run on Saturday.

Morning guys!! First I have to say THANK YOU for putting up w/ me and my grumpiness yesterday! Today is going to be much better I think! Other than the fact that I didn't get up at 5am to run (like I really thought that was going to happen!!) the day has been great so far!! DD3 actually slept 14 HOURS STRAIGHT last night! 5PM - 7AM. I think she is totally back to normal and is DRIVING ME UP THE WALL!!! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Suds - you are a STUD!!! <img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif"><img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif"><img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif"><img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif"><br>

Morning NB! Watch out! I think there is a snow drift outside! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br>
Morning Moni!<br>
Morning Abb!<br><br>
I forgot to mention that I think I am coming down w/ a sinus infection though. After the race on Sun my throat felt really dry and scratchy from breathing in and out of my nose so much in the dry air. Now I am all plugged up, draining and coughing. But my girls are well so it really isn't keeping me down. I will get my run in tonight after Church. Off to hop in the shower!

Good morning. 3.5 in the can for today. Weights when I get home tonight. DD is VERY grumpy this morning. Hopefully after her bath, she'll feel better and my life will be easier. <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"><br><br>

Willa - Good morning! Here is the link to the thread. She was asking about the purpose of hill training. <a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/showthread.php?p=611678#post611678" target="_blank">http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/sho...678#post611678</a>

Good Morning Everyone!<br><br><b>Cho</b> I saw your post last night about hills. I have a few opinions on hills, I don't know how factually accurate they are... but I'll share them anyway. There are a few ways to do hills.<br><br>
1) Hill Repeats - Ascending - builds strength and mental toughness. This translates well to speed.<br><br>
2) Hill Repeats - Descending - increases your turnover, and ability to run more efficiently downhill (lots of people "break" or heel strike going down a hill, this slows you down, and is hard on your knees). By doing downhill repeats, you can train yourself to step quickly and lightly, and land more efficiently.<br><br>
3) 5 x 10 second Hill repeats at the end of an easy run. This builds quad strength.<br><br>
If you know you're going to be running a hilly course, you should not only do some form of hill repeats (or mix them up), but you should also try to find a course that is similar to your race course. I.E. People running Boston should do a long run or two on a route that is primarily downhill at the beginning, and that has a leg breaker uphill towards the end of the run.

Good Morning Myron!! Some nice thoughts about hills... I don't mind hills, I actually enjoy them.. Especially that most of the time after the hill comes the downhill.. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Good Morning Chosha!! Good job on the run.. Enjoy the weights later! Hugs for DD to help her grumpiness go away... (((((((((DD)))))))))

NB-hey girl, hope the training is going well.<br><br>
Nicole-hope you feel better! Sinus infections are no fun.<br><br>
Monika-sounds like you needed to sleep in. I'm not sure it's a kidney infection, but definitely feels like the ones I've had in the past.<br><br>
Abb-Good job on the run and swim! I used to have to take antibiotics everyday to keep from getting infections, so I'm definitely going to the Dr.<br><br>
Tri-great job on the run, glad the baby is well.<br><br>
Cho-WTG on the run! Hope DD loses her grumpiness!
