<p>Good Morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hip felt up to doing an exploratory run to see what's up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Result: Much better, but not good enough. Will try again in 2-3 days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 test miles,</p>
<p>JJJ</p>

<p>Take it easy JJJ.  You'll be back at it soon enough!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is my tempo day and since this is a cutback week I decided on tempo repeats rather than a continuous tempo run.  Nice symmetry on the weather station - 79° 79%.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8 miles with 6 x 1000m at 10K pace (7:40ish), 1 minute recovery jog between each:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7:56</p>
<p>7:52</p>
<p>7:46</p>
<p>7:41</p>
<p>7:41</p>
<p>7:34</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These were solidly into the "Aerobic Stamina" range as per Tinman's chart.  Those 1 minute recovery times were probably a little short given the H&H but I hung in there.  I was probably pretty close to VO2 max on those last few repeats.</p>

<p>Good morning JJJ and those to follow.  My hips and IT band were sore this morning so I really babied them and spent more time stretching than running.  2 miles running at 10:30 per mile, 15 minutes walking (w/u & c/d), and then 30 minutes of stretching.  Not entirely satisfactory as a workout but it's done and I can check that off my to-do list for today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were all out of fruit this morning at home!  I have to hit the Korean market at lunchtime near my office and load up on some local goodies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy your day, everyone.</p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>back to saguaro nat. park tomorrow morning for 16 miles of hilly harrier-ing</p>
<p> </p>
<p>eta - i want to be a drooling vaguely dog-shaped pile too...</p>

 

[Opie]

<p>Just exploring a rest day, wisely scheduled before the relay by Brooke.  She's a triathlete so maybe she can help me pick out a bike.</p>

 

[hally]

<p>Coming to the dark side Opie?</p>
<p>MC, you aren't hairy enough.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2 miles this morning, then 30 min weights. Working from home, nice to be able to get in two workouts.</p>

 

[Tamster]

<p>Hi Masters!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I might run today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>eta: I just checked out the VRAA teams. While I'm not a fan of large teams because it's too easy for a member to sort of fade into the background and not feel like their contribution is significant (there's 15 on each team) I did notice that the new Commish put all the masters on the same team, so in some respects we are sort of a Masters team.</em></p>
<p>Have a funky day <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/headbang.gif" style="width:26px;height:28px;" title=""></p>

I got my lazy vacation butt out for an exploratory run this morning. 53F and 100% RH. I was in a fog. Good thing I stole mc's mittens. 5.5 miles at 7:40/mi.

 

[OrangeMat]

<p>6.2 super slow miles in the park with my running partner. As much as I appreciated running slowly, at times I found it quite difficult to maintain the pace as running vs. walking. Nice and hot and humid today, so I ran shirtless, first time since putting on all that jiggly belly fat in the past year or so. Getting old sucks. Getting jiggly belly fat is just unpretty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On a more positive note, a non-running friend of mine just started doing C25K and is so psyched with her progress. She said she needed to get "real" running shoes, so I offered her my 20% off coupon for the local Road Runner Sports store. She's stopping by for it this afternoon on the way to the store. Now that's a success story I'm happy to be a part of. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the day, all!<br>
 </p>

 

[tomwhite]

<p>....ok, 96-degrees..............74% humidity (not really sure what that means)</p>
<p> </p>

DW & I were talking about my shirtless relay leg (#3) at lunch just now.  She said something like, "Sorry for your friends they had to see your sunken chest.  Your face looks young but your old-man chest makes up for it."  Yes, OM, getting old sucks.<br>
 </p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>OM might be inspiring old runners too!!  Hubba hubba</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Opie - don't let your wife kick sand in your face!!  <span style="font-size:8px;">(my wife does it too. shhhh)</span></p>

 

[Opie]

<p>KS, like me you must remember those old ads about being a scrawny guy getting sand kicked in his face.</p>

 

[riley0003]

<p>No we still haven't heard about a start date for him.  Funds are dipping low....we really hope it's soon!  At least running is cheap, right?</p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>((funds))</p>
<p> </p>
<p>yes Opie I remember those ads.   I never did like lifting weights and building big muscles.  Pretty sure it's too late now.  </p>
