10/20 Humpity Humping FItness

katholeenie · Oct 20, 2010

Was out the door at 6am for 5 miles. Didn't mean to go that far, but it was dark and I missed my turn around. And it was a LOVELY run.
 
Have a fri-TAH-TAH in the oven, and am going to walk the Beastie a few miles (he SO needs it) while it bakes.
 
You?

gatorbob · Oct 20, 2010

Nice work, running so early in the AM, Kath. 
I ran yesterday for the first time in over a week. And I plan on another run tonight...

Runninlaw · Oct 20, 2010

Nice work, Kath. And glad to see you are back at it Bob. I hope you are feeling better. I have been really busy lately, so fill me in if I missed anything!
 
I ran 7 with 7 striders yesterday and this morning I had intervals on tap. Woke up at 4 after crazy dreams, then finally got up at 5 to get out the door. It was 42 degrees! Did 8 miles with 3 x 1 mile repeats; 2 minute recoveries. Nice way to start the day. Now I need to get cranking and get to work!
 
Happy hump day.

Sweet a.m. work, Kath and RIL! Glad you're feeling better, Bob.
 
I ran outside yesterday <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""> Mini run-report <a href="http://www.solarpoweredlife.blogspot.com" target="_blank">here</a>. It wasn't as glorious as it should have been, but it was great. I'm a little nervous about running 3 days in a row (I have PT again today) but since it was short, and I'm running easy, I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll swim tomorrow.

Jill · Oct 20, 2010

Good morning.
 
Soooo excited for you solar! Looking up with the great progress.
 
WooHoo for the morning runs kath and RIL!
 
Bob, glad you are feeling better. So, what did you say, Arkansas?
 
5.5 early morning miles for me today. Perfectly cool out there this morning. Love the fall!

Novia · Oct 20, 2010

leenie, I so admire people who get up in the AM and run. I'm way too lazy to do that. It happens every once in a blue moon, but less frequent enuf for me to <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif" style="width:29px;height:15px;" title=""> you!
 
last night pounded out a 5.7 mile tempo run on the dreadmill. I paid way too much attention to my crybaby mind and literally fought my way thru it, but the miles are done.
 
Today is cross-train Wednesday run a mile/elliptical for 60 minutes/run another mile. I wanna get the miles in on the road because I'm so hating the dreadmill and I've got a speed workout to get in tomorrow which will be on the dreadmill (I do my tempo and speed workouts on the dreadmill) so I'd much rather have three of my five runs this week be on the road as opposed to dreadmill.
 
SP - I've been quietly cheering you on. After recovering from a hammy injury over the last three weeks, I've been stir crazy, I can't EVEN imagine what you're going thru!

Ailarie · Oct 20, 2010

G'morning, folks.
 
5 hamster-wheeled miles last night. Spinning tonight. Weights/core somewhere between.

I always run in the morning, but since I'm not working I haven't been getting out as early. But I woke up at 4:15 this morning and couldn't sleep (although I did try for another 1-1/2 hours) so just got up and ran. I'll be crashing later. heh.
 
 
Hey, you're new to the 30s area. Did you fill out our questionaire yet?
 
___
 
Walked Gus a few miles. While his head isn't spinning any more, the boy could still stand a few more. We ran into a bunch of kids heading into the grade school. CAN WE PET YOUR DOG?!? So funny. And Gus just licks them and dances from all the petting.
 
Oh. And I was able to make a new patient appmt at the chiro for Friday morning. This Friday. Huh! I usually have to wait at least a month for new patient appmts. The office lady said he does muscle energy work, not the usual snap & crack. What's MEW?

Speaking of not sleeping through the night, where is Missy? 
 
 
here i am!! we are DEF not sleeping through the night!
 
got home from chicago last night and had a splendid time there.. lots of memories running along the lakefront - it was great!!!
 
glad bob and solar are on the mend.
 
hello novia.
 
congrats to kp!!
 
tim, maria and i are going to hire you to pace us to to sub 3:30 one day, too!!
 
 
sooooo. i signed up for boston. gulp. its an ambitious goal but i've come to terms that i will aim for being marathon ready instead of PR ready by spring - i guess i finally realized how unrealistic my latter expectation was. lmao. when it comes to boston, most people train their asses off for it; noone wants to lollygag boston when you're out there running with the best of the best. but, i guess i'll have to run it at my own capacity - which isn't the same as when i initially qualified.
 
plus, i got caught up in all the mayhem.
 
finally, i blame 2oh!!!!
 
so, those are my spring plans. big ones, indeed.

runningINnyc · Oct 20, 2010

Morning all! Not sure what's been up lately but I'm waking up in the middle of the night and am pretty much wide awake. I don't get out of bed or anything so as not to encourage my body to get out of it's "restful" state but still, it's taking me awhile to get back to sleep and that wrecks my morning. <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif"> I had planned on a track workout in the a.m. and yoga this evening but b/c I didn't rise with the alarm I'll be running to yoga, spending 90 mins. there and running home from the studio. Haven't done that for awhile but the weather is nice and I tried to only bring the essentials in my backpack so it's not too heavy. Track workout pushed to tomorrow.

Dear lord, that sounds AWFUL!

Timr1 · Oct 20, 2010

Morning all,
 
thanks for the Birthday wishes yesterday. Today starts my last year with this age group and I guess this group too. <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif"> Just kidding, I know we have a rule that you don't have to leave when you turn 40 right? Isn't 40 the new 30 anyways? I'm sure I heard that somewhere. 
 
I did a short track workout yesterday before coaching DS's soccer game. It was only 4 miles with 3 x 800 (range was 3:06 - 3:20). Legs feel a little beat up today. I'll do an ez 5 and continue to recover from the marathon. I'm kinda antsy to get into some real training since i have a pile of races in Novemeber. 
 
Glad you made it home safe from Chi-Town Missy.

According to the video we all made for J's bro's 40th, 40 is the new 9 weeks! (per a 9 week old baby). I'd attach the video but it's not on You Tube and these forums don't seem to support other video files. <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif">

Missy, how is life with baby treating you?

theia · Oct 20, 2010

Hello hello. Track workout went as OK as it could have. I did have a major GI issue after my first 400, but luckily I was at a track/stadium with, um, facilities I could use. My paces were good, and I'm pleased with the workout. 
 
Woke up this morning at 5:30 to go for a swim, got out of bed to turn off the alarm, and exclaimed "OUCH!" as I realized my back was in complete spasm. It's up high on the left side of my spine. Emergency chiropractor appointment at 11 a.m. She compared my erector spinae to the cables on a suspension bridge and said plywood is more flexible than my spine right now. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title=""> Another appointment Friday to see if we can work this mess out. It could be a combination of factors -- lifting and twisting in my basement this weekend, running counter-clockwise on the track, sleeping weird... who knows. At least it's a little better than it was at 5:30 a.m. It literally hurt to breathe at that point. <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif"> 
 
Happy Humpday, all. And shame on me for not officially welcoming Novia. Welcome!
 
TimR, no one's figured out that I'm way past 30 yet. I think your secret is safe. <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//biggrin.gif">

NCRG71 · Oct 20, 2010

A lovely run this morning, despite being overdressed. Yesterday it was 30 degrees at 5am...this morning 46!! I was able to leave my jacket on the front steps, but I had to leave my hat on b/c I didn't have a hair tie and I had on my winter tights. Grrrr. 
 
Welcome Novia - please post here more often!!
 
Nice work folks. Hope you back feels better Theia!
 
ETA - Happy Belated Tim!

Novia · Oct 20, 2010

I think #52 should be #1
<img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif">
 
Ran 3x1 mile repeats at GRP last night. First one was rough the first half and then the pace came down. 2nd one felt easy and I had to back off a bit. 3rd one was horrible the last half. Overall my paces were pretty consistent at 843, 840 and 844. Ended up with a little of 7 miles total.
 
Did 4.5 with the dog this morning. She took a dip/drink in the creek and is smelling something fierce now. 
 
yippee for Solar!!!
 
welcome Novia!
 
woot for tracks with facilities (these are often required!)

Muscle energy is a technique that uses the energy and movement of the muscles to realign the joints and diminish pain and spasm and increase range of motion.
