30's Sat Sugust 25

Morning! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Good on you guys for getting up so early for those long runs on a Sat! I seriously can't wait till it's cooler and I have the option to run whenever I feel like it! Last night would have been nice for a run after we got some showers. YES! Rain!! First time in weeks! Unfortunately, it was late when I left (well, 10;30- too late for a run outside) and I'd been drinking a little. So, my little plan for getting up early today was not to be. I will just have to run after body pump at the gym. Looks like it's supposed to rain again, so hopefully it will be cooler for my LR tomorrow!<br><br>
Well, I just want to repeat- GOOD LUCK to all our racers- Prae, Kris (Bard), Nick, Korbels and someone I'm forgetting! Gah!! So sorry!! But good luck to you, too! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br><b>Doc</b>- how ya feeling this morning? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Well, gonna enjoy my coffee then slowly get ready for the gym. Strangely, I woke up about an extra hour early so I've got plenty of time to digest it! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Happy Saturdays!!!!! Can't wait to read the race reports!

Hey folks.<br><br>
Been a good day. Got to the body pump class just in time. The first time we went, there was actually a sub instructor there and my friend and I were in major pain the next couple of days. This lady isn't quite as intense. After Tues.' class-nothing. I'm curious if I'll feel anything tmrw. I doubt it's a "your muscles got used to it" thing since I've only been there 3 times now. Guess we'll see tmrw! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Didn't run today, though. Just couldn't face the heat nor the TM.<br><br>
Great job on all those long runs (despite any carp or other acts of nature!)<br><br>
Myron- sorry the race wasn't everything you expected. You're still an amazing runner in my book! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Well, I've got 8 planned for the morning. Longest run since the Pig. Haven't ventured into this training rhelm (sp?) in a long time. And I'm meeting Quixotic Notions from KR there! How fun!! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"> I'll let you all know how we get on. I think she's far from a 30, though! Still a few years to go.....<br><br>
Well, I'm falling asleep as I type. Went to a pool party this afternoon/evening. Had a nice time chatting, swimming and drinkin'! Am definitely tired enough to hit the hay at ths poinl.<br><br>
Nighty night!!!

Morning!<br><br>
Up to get out for my 8 miles this morning. It rained last night (yes! seriously! I'm not kidding! Real, wet rain!) and it's slightly cooler. Wind was blowing before the storm. I was wishing I could have run last night.. but that whole I was drinkin' thing again! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Gonna be my first LR with someone else. We'll see how it goes! I hope I'm not too slow for her. I hope it stays cool. I would like some reward for making the effort of getting up super early on a Sunday when I'd rather sleep in!<br><br>
Has anyone seen about the hindu temple that is the largest outside India built in the US? It's on the news right now. That's across the intersection from where I grew up and where my parents live now. FUnny how they selectively show the temple without showing the walgreens next door or the grocery store across the street or the run down gas station on the other corner!! A LOT of trees were killed for that place. Used to be a nice green area and to be honest, the road is just a one lane suburban neighborhood road that's not prepared to handle the traffic!<br><br>
Ok, time to get ready! Hope the baseball games were fun! I couldn't even tell you how the Braves are doing this year. I don't think they will be in any post season, either.

Well, I'm back from my longest run since the Pig. Haven't gotten up to 8 miles like this since training for the Pig, actually (besides the longer runs of course). It's always such a mental barrier for me since one year ago, I was attempting to train for TC with my ankle and this is where is started to really hurt. The best part was running it with someone else! It passed so quickly!!! We just talked and talked the entire time. It was great. I really enjoyed meeting Heather (Quixotic Notions here). Funny <b>Jill</b> that today was also your day to run with another <b>Heather!</b><br><br>
I'm just sitting here enjoying a nice recovery smoothie (plain yogurt, frozen strawberries, OJ, banana and ice!) Poyfect! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"> I'm glad that the dehydration didn't affect me! I definitely sweat like 10 whole mens or wimmins! My clothes were soaked through (even both bras I wear!) I will be making an effort to drink some extra fluids today, though.<br><br><b>Crane</b> Good to see you around. Sorry about the vertigo, but I hope it's solved now post-puke!<br><br><b>Roo</b> Chacos are like outdoorsy sandals. Definitely open toe and you can probably find a pair to go with your hippy clothes! I see teachers wearing them at school. My brother and his wife got married on the Appalacian trail in traditional wedding clothes (tux/dress) with specially made his/her wedding Chacos! You can definitely pull them off!<br><br><b>Brandy</b>- sorry about the run! What trauma lately, huh? Bees??!!! Cool about seeing the relay, though.<br><br><b>Bob</b> I think your role at the shower is to get the heck out of the house! It's gonna be estrogen fest, you know!! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> Lots of "awwwwww" and "cute!!!!!!!" going on. Have fun!<br><br>
Ok, time for shower. I'm starting to chill. Ciao.
