Ditto for me, except that I am down about 50+ # in 2 years of running. Today was evidence of the "cooler = faster" for me. LR pace is usually 10 mm for me +-15 sec of so. Partway through my run, I came around a corner where there was a nice breeze blowing across an open field. The temp probably dropped 10 degrees (felt like it anyway) and my pace was 9:15 for the next half mile and my HR was about 5-7 bpm <b>lower</b> than it was before than going slower.<br><br>
Way to go <b>Mary</b>!!!<br><br>
And ditto to <b>Kini</b> on the casual "3 miles" - nicely done. Very nicely done.<br><br>
Well I got back from my LR in 1:58 with a several minute stop for Gatorade refill partway. According to <a href="http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/3757471" target="_blank">Motionbased</a>, it was 11.74 miles with an average moving pace of 9:35 and overall pace of 10:02. I kept my HR in the upper 130's till the last 3 miles and then I picked up the pace and let it climb to the mid-140's. It was 76 when I headed out and there was a very light off-and-on drizzle the whole time that felt GREAT. Funny thing, I was trying Accelerade today and discovered that while running, it gets whipped into a frothy foam. Real strange, but I liked the flavor, tummy was ok with it and I certainly feel a bit less beat-up that I have for a while (course that might be the cooler weather too).<br><br>
Got home and after a shower, had a Fig Newton, the rest of the Accelerade and then a big glass of fatfree milk with 2 blueberry muffins that DW had made while I was out. Am I a lucky guy or what? Now MIL and DW took both DS's and nephew (visiting MIL from MN) to the movies so I am going to take a little nap on the couch.<br><br>
29.85 miles for the week<br>
97+ for the month<br>
106 for July<br>
= August should easily be a new high mileage month for my running.<br>
Only 668+ for 2007 so far, but I should be able to break 1100 for the year.

<b>Myron</b> I'm actually hoping to set a PR next HM with a 1:55. But good to chalk it up as a training run and move on.<br><br><b>Melis</b>: I think it is the best place to puke. That was the Dr knows you are not faking it or making it sound like you feel worse that you do. (((<b>Craney</b>))) hope you get it under control soon.<br><br>
Too cute. I would stick with amused. Also, she didn't say she didn't need you, just that she needed daddy <b>also</b>. It is <b>always</b> better to have both parents when there is a storm (weather or orhterwise) brewing.<br><br>
I kind of realized I was taking les and less walk breask while trianing for my first marathon. I never set out to not take walk breaks, I just noticed that I needed them less often. I will still take them at times, but today, it was cool here (similar temp to yours, but less humidity) and the only time I slowed, was at the store to buy more Gatorade. There were a couple times I thought about it and decided it is too boring to walk when I want to be running. Nothing wrong with a few walk breaks when you need it (last week was all about walk breaks for me, horrible heat + humidity).<br><br>
Oh and if anyone cares, I see nothing wrong with taking walk breaks, just something I would rather avoid when I am running.<br><br>
Rough run. With all those thorns, there must be a rose around somewhere, so keep your eyes open.<br><br>
ETA, this post made me a 1/2 marathoner !!!

Ditto on the "Nice work <b>Korbel</b>."<br><br>
We went on a similar ride it sounds like. I did 32.2 in 2:07. My bike was under $700.<br><br>
Very cool. It helps with the motivation doesn't it? Keep up the good work on OHR.<br><br>
Most tournaments I've played in have special prizes for the last place. Sometimes very nice prizes. Important thing is having fun though (IMHO).
