<p>Heme - did you catch the squirrel?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lab - you sure are running some quick times lately.  You're going to do well in that half.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only 62 degrees this morning but still humid and windy.   No complaints.  10 moh with 4 mile tempo imbedded with goal of 5k pace plus 1 min.   Accomplished even running all 4 miles into the headwind.  Very satisfied this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Restless sleep last night and don't know why.  Not election related; just restless.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone hear from Gin or Secondwind lately?</p>

<p>Hi TW and KS</p>
<p>A spectacular day here. 45 and nary a drop of wind. I ran 10 mins longer then the usual and then 15 min weights. Good news, I am not feeling like I have to walk.</p>

<p>Good to get back to real life, yes. No comment on the political squirrels.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>KS, I just wrote to SecondWind on FB, hopefully I'll hear back from her. She hasn't been around there in a while either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quads are still kinda achy, which I didn't know until my run yesterday. Funny how that happens sometimes. All of a sudden it's gotten cold here, upper 30s into low 40s, and I'm finding I don't know how to dress to run. Amazing how quickly I forget from one season to the next.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We leave tonight for DD's college visit trip, driving to upstate NY, back late Saturday. Five schools over three days. Tis the season!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs to all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ETA: Good news, indeed Hally!</p>

<p>Good Morning, KickNation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We're getting some of Tom's rain, which we need. </p>
<p>It may stimulate a nice final flourish from my shiitake patch  -which has exceeded expectations this fall.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday I had a wonderful 6+ shirtless miles in lovely brisk autumn weather.</p>
<p>I'm going to try to squeeze in a final long run tomorrow before start officially shifting down for the Richmond marathon.</p>
<p>Since I've not hit 50 recently and not even a substantial number of 40 mile weeks over the last few months, tapering may be antithetical.</p>
<p>Or, maybe attempting a marathon on minimalist type mileage is antithetical <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blush.gif" title="">.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>WIll RAW 3-4,</p>
<p>jjj</p>

<p>Morning, Folks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's great news Hally!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There was frost on the pumpkin this morning.  22F, but no wind.  2 mile w/u then 6 miles tempo at 7:50 avg pace.  Although I discovered on MacMillan's site that what I call tempo he calls steady-state.  Whatever.  I don't have a head for all of these training theories.  Sometimes I think it would be great to have a coach who would just tell me what to do on a given day so that I wouldn't have to think about it.  But for now I'll just alternate between hard effort and EZ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm hoping to run with Erika tomorrow.  I think she's traveling now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike</p>

 

[hally]

<p>Mike, give Erika a big hug from me <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There, you now have an excuse.</p>

 

[Opie]

<p>J3, you're running really well.  Congrats on that half!  Good job on your run, too, Hally.  Bike workout for me at lunch & yoga after work.  Since my bike's at home & I'm up here in the city, I'll do the stationary bike at the Y.</p>

 

[Tamster]

<p>Morning midcoast/west coast masters.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Afternoon eastcoast masters</p>
<p> </p>
<p>almost good evening, British master.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will RAL again today. Should be 70's again today. lovin' it! even though I have a head cold and body aches, but I think the warm sunshine is helping because I do feel better today than yesterday . . . I think Brian knows what I'm talking about.</p>

 

[Dove]

You and me both. Maybe we can get a two-for-one coaching deal somewhere?<br>

Sometimes I wonder if he's got an evil twin named Worse Than Tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8⅓ miles today, overdressed and with trashed quads still from Monday. Though I felt progressively better as the miles went on. Feeling great now. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""> Have a great day all!</p>

 

[tomwhite]

<p>YAY dove///////</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>..........22min poolrun........not really in the mood, but those count double.......</p>

 

[Opie]

<p>Dove, I bet you were about to go crazy waiting to run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>45 minutes cycling with 30 minutes in the middle doing one of those simulated hill programs.  I don't have any HR data on cycling & wish I did.  My AHR for the workout was 135, max 154.  The warmup & cooldown was around 110 and it was in the 140's for much of the "tempo" portion.  It seemed hard compared to when I run with my HR in the 140's.</p>

 

[mcsolar99]

<p>8mi ez 8:15 pace.  jumped in for 1/2mi with a guy doing a 2mi time trial before he hit his turnaround point... maybe i talked to him too much, since he had a headwind going back when he turned.  oops.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>stretching stretching stretching.  my hamstrings and legs are still beat from last weekend's race.  they've got to recover so i can torture them some more this weekend, sheesh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>oh, did i mention that haile geb is racing in nyc this weekend??? go haile go!</p>
