Sweet racing for Gin, Lab, Mrs. Lab and Mrs.Hup! (hope I'm not forgetting anyone???)<br><br>
Today is a beautiful day in Sregon and my son went to the movies with a friend this afternoon, so I felt like I should have taken advantage of this and gone for a run . . . instead I made homemade brownies (no boxed brownies here) for DH, banana bread for DS and and mixed up homemade pasta sauce for baked ravioli for tonight. Now my feet hurt from standing in the kitchen for 2 hrs! But I have tomorrow off, so I'll get in a long run tomorrow.<br><br>
Enjoy the day everyone!

 

I understand, Tom. My work and running buddies give me grief for it constantly. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

......just Playing to the Crowd hup//........I had two in college myself......<br><br>
puts it<br>
in a different perspective.....<br><br><br><br>
...............the Squad actually practices on the infield sometimes,,,,nice kids,,,,,,

 

Lab, Gin ... nice racing!<br><br>
Tom, having a daughter in college just spoils some things for me <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"><br><br>
Some cooler weather going on out there .... good for running.<br><br>
This morning I rode my bike to crew for Mrs hup in our local half M. She ran better than she expected to run. I'm proud of her!<br><br>
Here's my sweetie<br><br><img alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/henrypretz/Trail%20of%202%20Cities%20Half%20M%2011-11-07/PICT0034.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
Once we got home, I went out for an easy 45 minutes on my own in a steady drizzle.<br><br>
I think I'm going to make a pot of beans this afternoon <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
hup

 

WD GIN!! Hardware, who cares who was there. And Lab, glad you showed some restraint and are happy with your results.<br><br>
29 miles on the bike, it was in the high 30's. I was dressed ok but I need better gloves. 14.4 avg pace 154 avg HR. I went with a faster group then usual and kept up OK cept for the hills.

 

<br>

Great run, Lab!<br>
Nice to hear the foot is doing well.<br>
Congrats to Mrs Lab as well.

 

Congratulations, gin!<br><br>
Nice strength training, ksrunr.<br><br><i>ETA:</i> Labduck, I guess you and I crossed in the ether. Awesome race, and ^5 on the well-behaved foot! Congratulations to Mrs Labduck too! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

5 mile race today...and the winning number is....34:16 (6:51/mi)! 20 OA, 3 AG.<br>
I was pleased by this effort. The first 4 mile splits were all around 6:58/mi, and the last mile at around 6:30. I didn't hold anything back. The two guys who beat me in my AG were guys I normally beat, but I suppressed my competitive instinct and let them go. Live to race another day...<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Cool"><br><br>
My foot felt fine during and after the race, but my hamstrings are a bit tender. But it's a good pain. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
Along with the 5 mile race, there was also a 2.5 mile competitive walk. Mrs. Labduck was the overall winner! She got hardware for it too. I'm very proud of her.

 

I had to LOL on this one.<br><br>
Crosstraining is limited only by the imaginaton.<br><br>
congrats Gin.WhooHooo!<br>
Nice run RH<br>
jjj

 

Balmy here today about 66 or so.<br><br>
Got in 10 miles on my hill route. My butt is killing me. The route is a continuous up and down with 3 200 foot hill complexes.<br><br>
Nice runs everyone have a great Sunday

 

Congrats Gin! Hello everyone; hope you're having a good day. Day off for me. The lovely and gracious mrs ccrunr and I took the dogs for a 1.25 mile walk in the park. They walked .5 miles and we carried them the rest of the way. 80 dgrees here today. brrrrr!!!!! Actually warmer here than normal. Wish it would cool off but not like ya'll got it.<br><br>
ksrunr

 

Nice runs everyone! I also wore gloves today. Brrrr........I don't think I'll write a RR for the 5K I ran so I'll just post the details.<br><br>
My time: 22:37 1st OA female/1st AG ( gotta love these small hometown races. It's all about who shows up. ) I am thrilled with my time. I wanted to run under 23:00 and I did it!!! Hurray!!! Great conditions, great course....a fun day!

 

Even I didn't wear gloves today & it was in the 40's <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> well cooler than yesterday, but still warmer than the last couple of weekends.<br><br>
I did a 3.5 mile run/walk (2.6 of it running) today. I had planned to do an easy 2 or 3 miles, but for some unknown reason I picked the hilly part of the bikepath. So, I walked when I needed to... since 1) didn't warmup properly & it took me a long time to warmup up the bronchials 2) body just didn't like those hills... probably due to pushing a little yesterday at the 5K..<br><br>
But hey at least I stopped when I needed to, and even though I wanted to make it an even 3 for the running at the end, I maintained and walked an extra mile to the car after I turned the Garmin off.

 

I want to run where tomwhite runs when it' s 34 degrees. nice hh outing sir. How is Claire?<br><br>
I see hippo has committed to a 12 hour run which he deems a "sprint" event. In the south, we have a phrase to describe his type....we say "that boy ain't right."<br><br>
pro....lost? it was only a scheduled 4 miler? Nice run.<br><br>
nice run mcsolar......see, people are good for something<br><br>
I plugged Lab's variables into my computer last week and gave him his finishing time. That should have resolved the matter.<br><br>
Pink....nice run. When you gave the temp of 23 degrees, it made mentioning the stiff, slow part unnecessary.<br><br>
I'm going to do 5 or so miles later this afternoon with a friend who is coming back from an injury induced layoff. The sad part is, i'll still have to push my normal pace just to stay in his comfort zone. grrrrr<br><br>
I better go check the race reports and see how everyone fared. Have great workouts today and othewise enjoy yourself.

 

Nice running MC and Pro<br>
45 on the spinner and some corework<br><br>
Tom you're right....I'm feeling old and sorry. No wind rushing past my cheeks, lurking in sunless shadows, mulling through a meanless silence. Another week off the trail and I'll be ready for the wood chipper.<br>
But MC's right, please make sure you have a camera next time. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
have a great day!!!<br>
jjj

 

5 miles this morning at a 7:20 pace,fast bits at the end...<br><br>
Hiya SS !!!

 

i think labduck's time will depend on the number of sandwiches racing.<br><br>
same temps a millbot... one of my running pals actually wore gloves (hey, we're sensitive here in the desert). started a smart 18 miler at somewhere near 9 min pace and finished with some quick ones at the end... much better than my solo effort last weekend where i started too fast... running with people pays off in so many ways.<br><br>
tomwhite, your post is useless without pictures. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

long pants, jacket, gloves, hat...all at once. but a beautiful sunny day.<br>
12M or so, part of it lost in the wildlife area. 1:45 for time.<br><br>
I like this slacking month. This week I ran 6, 5, and today's 12. All easy.<br><br>
CRAig

 

I think I read that Labduck wanted to run 35:00 for his race today,but I'm betting he won't be able to slow himself down enough...33:30

 

<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Confused"><br><br>
Isn't Labduck doing a 5-miler today? Am I overestimating or underestimating the Duck's Super Powers?

 

Hee hee, you're a funny guy!<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
I also am sending good wishes to Gin and Lab for speedy racing today.<br><br>
I'm lounging about here, contemplating all the stuff I need to get done today after church. It's downright balmy this morning and would have been a good day for a run...but I'm taking the day off to rest my weary legs after yesterday's effort. (23 degrees, Pink...sounds really cold. I'm not ready for that kind of cold yet <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Sad">).<br><br>
I just had our treadmill serviced about a month ago since we've now had it for 2 years and done no maintenance. The service guy told me it needed a new motor (it had been making a whining noise, but I just blew it off). The motor was under warranty, so I was glad I had the maintenance done. Anyway, he came back and installed the motor on Friday...so I'm ready for the bad weather when it hits.<br><br>
Good running (and resting) today, gang.

 

.....34-Degrees here........bundled up,<br>
drove past half-naked college runners who,<br>
while insane,<br>
can do that BECAUSE THEY CAN......gggrrrrr.....<br><br>
......45min hh run on trails.........nothing special,<br>
but I run BECAUSE <b>I</b> CAN.....<br><br>
Good running guys...........off to my 2nd Church......<br><br>
,,,,,,,,ps,,,,,,,,sorry to hear jjj's feeling old these days,<br>
apparently some half-naked college runners<br>
(oh, did I mention these were Girls??)<br>
might help......

 

Good morning, Pink. 23 F, huh? Here it is 53 F and the sun is just coming up. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br>
Wishing fleet feet to Gin and Labduck today! Labduck, I predict you'll run sub-36.<br><br>
Rest day on tap for me.<br><br>
I hope you have a peaceful Sunday.
