<p>Good morning. Well, I took yesterday off. I had recorded a run on 13 straight days before that, which tied my record. But I didn't break the record. I was feeling REALLY wiped out yesterday, so I needed the rest. Hopefully I have a little more pep today to get back out there...</p>

<p>Morning all! We another day of milder weather here and I'm planning to take advantage of it by running to the yoga studio, attending a class and then running home. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Lora & Dan</strong> - nice work in the pool! I should really get back there myself but I know it's gonna be ugly... real ugly, both my stroke and me in a one piece.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice streak there <strong>boB</strong>, sounds like you needed the rest. </p>

<p>Heh. I haven't been feeling all that zesty lately. Maybe I should change that slogan...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some unknown reason, I only packed my "indoor" running clothes today, which means I'm bound for the TM at the gym. But it seems like today will actually be a decent day for an outdoor run. After today, it's gonna get really cold and snowy again. So if I want to do any outdoor runs in the near future, it'll have to be today. Maybe I should head home and change into my "outdoor" clothes before I run tonight...</p>

<p>Hi all - 5.7 mi running through a very nice SF afternoon; coupled that with 3.25 mi of walking from here to there, and that was almost 9 miles (didn't realize how much walking I do taking the ferry now until yesterday)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure what I'll be doing tonight, but I will get some fitnessing in mark my words.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>boB</strong> - nice streak! You just seem to be built for putting in miles day after day</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice splashing around <strong>Lora & Dan</strong> - I should drag my arse to the pool one of these days too if I'm ever going to sneak in a sprint tri or two</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ART...I could use some for my neck right now (attempts to nap in airplanes and public transit just don't do those neck muscles good)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs, workouts and/or rest days to you all!</p>

<p>I'm registered for one. HM at Cincinnati Flying Pig on May 1</p>
<p>I have penciled in:</p>
<p>- Boilermaker Aquatics sprint tri on June 4th ( how hard is it to swim 300 yards in a pool? I'm askeered! )</p>
<p>- Indianapolis Women's Half on September 3</p>
<p> </p>
<p>J was trying to talk me in to the relay at the the Indianapolis Marathon on Oct 15th. </p>
<p>And of course, I'll want to make any meet ups that might get scheduled with the 30s crew as well.<br>

<p>I ran this time for the first time in a week. Me and mother nature are not seeing eye-to-eye these days. I am getting a 25 use day pass to a gym near my house, so on days that I am working from home I can get in a run on a TM. The roads near me will not be runnable for a long time.</p>

I might have to do the same, Litch. The problem is right now I'm in DC half the month so I don't know if I should bother with the gym. DH and I talked and we aren't taking the TM across the street but it will be some time until its in a place that I can use it. I'd rather find a gym with an indoor track than go on the TM. Maybe I will check out the local Y's and colleges to see if any have one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have 4 on tap for today. I have a meeting now and then at 2 so I have to get out there in between. The roads look slushy but not bad and its raining but pretty mild temperature wise. I can't wait! I have run 9 times since January 3rd which is probably more times than I ran last year total. <img alt="hello2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello2.gif"></p>

<p>pah. my streak ended at 9 days - I didn't end up running yesterday at all. By the time I was free to go to the gym it was nearly 8:00 and I slept so crappy the night before I was worried about not being able to fall asleep after a late workout. So I didn't go. And it didn't matter because I STILL had trouble falling asleep. I finally got up and took some antihistamine and evenutally fell asleep and then struggled to get up this morning. Boo. Hiss.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, I'm leaving work early to take DS to his first counseling session. God, I hope this helps because I am truly at the end of my rope. I go back and forth wondering - are these active choices he's making or, is he depressed or, is he bipolar? I'm not saying this in jest, I really do wonder. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>SO anyway, I intend to go to the gym right after that and my plan is to try out the track for a change of pace. The treadmill is starting to wear pretty thin. I'm not sure how well I'll tolerate running in a circle for an hour though. And I know myself well enough to know I won't be able to keep track of my laps and it will annoy me to not know the mileage because I'm OCD like that. If I get all bugnutz then I'll just switch to the mill. 5 miler today.</p>

<p>morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got to go to the DOME last night. It was blazing hot in there (85) but better than outside I did 8 x 1 lap (0.4 mile) repeats at what should have been interval pace but I am so out of shape speed wise that it was closer to tempo. After 6 of them, my ankle really locked up and my pace crashed. blah. I didn't really do much of a cool down because it hurt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tonight - 5-8 miles outside. it snowed again. blah</p>

<p>BigG - one of the girls at our gym puts pennies in her hand, then drops one on to her sweatshirt every time she goes by. If she misses picking one up, no one will fall or anything, but she has a better idea of laps that way.</p>

<p>Sitting in an ice bath right now. I have been doing them after each run since Lydiard says to make sure you ice a lot since you are running every day. It's helped believe me, even after the 1 milers! So I did what I remember of 4 miles and my RunKeeper on my iPhone said 3.72, wtf! So of course I'm going to go to map my run to confirm but since I wanted to make sure I did the whole 4 I kept running until it said 4. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Muscle memory is fantastic - I can't believe how quickly I am getting back in form. I literally felt like I could run forever...until I'd hit a hill, lol.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>P.S. DH thinks I am insane and this sport is dumb since he just heard me scream as I sat in the ice tub and am sitting here typing to y'all. haha</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>PPS - Bob - go home and get your outside close to run. It was 39 and beautiful out there!</p>

<p>BigG-I would take the track over the TM any day! Amichel's idea sounds good, you could also get like prayer beads and keep track that way or something. </p>

<br><br><p>You know those things they have to keep count of people who walk in somewhere, the clicker things. Those would be a good idea too. Or for swimming some kindof big button (like the easy button) that you hit when you get to the turn in your lap on the side of the pool. I should invent something!!!!</p>
