<p>Morning peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I havn't posted in 2 days, since the format changed, it wont let me post via iPhone...?  Havn't ran since tuesdays 4 mile barefoot beach excursion... that was tuff,  blistered both of our feet up!  And it did a # on my calves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got back home last night around 7:30.  Gonna go for a run here in a little bit, maybe an easy 5 or 6.  Back to work tonight..<img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad2.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Son1 and I got in at 2am this morning.  That was a long day!  But totally worth it to get him back home.  I got nuthin' today.</p>

 

[Flounder]

<p>4boysmom - You sure got more than nothing - You have Son1 back today</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 easy before work</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plan for 6 easy @ lunch and 22 after work - I need to pay for the TH night pizza and Margarittas!</p>

<p>Well, 15.5 miles for me this morning.  Felt good until 14.  Humidity not effecting me as much now that I've got my hydration sorted out.</p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>Good morning everyone.  I got out for 6 miles in 49:42(8:16).  Last 2 miles were 7:36 and 7:56.  It was a great run though. </p>

 

[Boyerdavea]

<p>15 miles for me this morning.  It went well.  I froze my water bottles last night and they were completely thawed by mile 5.  I can't believe it was 77* this morning at 5am.  I never checked the humidity but it was high.  I decided I would try and stay ahead of the dehydration.  I drank 32 oz (spread over an hour) before I started running.  Then I drank 3 - 4 oz every mile, it definately helped.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS- Beach running will kill the calves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4BM - glad the family is back together.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Flounder - becareful out there at lunch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - Glad you had a good run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kfuller - Nice run!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>happy trianing everyone</p>

<p>Happy Friday all...boy, for a short work week I sure am wipe out. Not sure what's up but I'm just dragging of late. I would like to done a double yesterday in the evening after the morning run of yesterday it just wasn't happening. I came home from work and went straight to bed, slept 2 hours, got up ate, watched TdF replay for a bit then back to bed...and then I slept in this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess I need to hit the reset button over the weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hot and humid here again today but not quite as torrid as yesterday...I am hoping to hit Manassas Battlefield after work for 5-7 trail miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice job on all the hot running out there.</p>

 

[Alex]

<p>76mins for me with a few random pickups toward the end, followed by a grueling weight room session. I was already sore this morning just from work yesterday, but now my upper and lower body just ache.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eating breakfast/lunch now, then going to nap and do work around the house until the festivities start up tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great weekend everyone!</p>

 

[Jill]

<p>I almost forgot to come in here today. Nice job sweating through the summer heat so far everyone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went out for some easy miles this morning with my pup. He was huffing and puffing and I wanted to keep going. For whatever reason, my pace was great today even though I was trying to keep it slower. Whatever. Still not in training mode but it's soon approaching.</p>

<p>Hey, all! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Been just dead-legged since Wednesday's fiasco.  Even yesterday's recovery went poorly, and today I gotta make it out there for 13 at some point.  Running's not fun this week.  There, I said it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots to look forward to this weekend.  Minor-league baseball game tonight with my family, then tomorrow flying to Seattle to see <strong>TOOL</strong> with my brother at sold-out Key Arena.  Should be a blast.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> -- Welcome home, and sorry 'bout the tootsies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Mom</strong> -- Glad the boy is home, safe and sound.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Flounder</strong> -- 34 today?  All in a day's work, ho hum.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>RA</strong> -- Way to bounce back.  Nice one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Kevin</strong> -- Good job.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dave</strong> -- Smart hydrating.  That'll improve those long runs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> -- I know the feeling.  Just got the blahs.  Good luck resetting over the weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Alex</strong> -- 76 minutes.  That's like what, 15 miles for you?    Have fun tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Jill</strong> -- Nice run, and I hope a harbinger of things to come (as all harbingers are).</p>
<p> </p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>Chances-  Be careful with the hydration. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice job out there today.  I just scrubbed the kitcen and bathroom floors and it was like a second workout with all the sweating.  Have a great afternoon.</p>

 

[RunAsics]

<p><strong>Chances</strong> - Tool... sweet!  I saw them in 1994 opening for Rage Against the Machine at the Brixton Academy in London.  I think I'd appreciate them more now.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been dragging dead legs around since I got down to Hilton Head.  I tried <a href="http://www.gatorade.com/default.aspx#product?s=prime" target="_blank">Gatorade Prime</a> on a whime and actually think it made a difference.  That and decent hydration the day before and 1.5x the number of gels per distance run.    I may get a few more for longer runs when it's hot and humid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Alex</strong> - I was thinking of your mileage reports on my run this morning.  I'm pretty sure you're going faster than 8mpm and sandbagging us all.  So, dude, get a Garmin so we have accurate stats on you and can gauge appropriate comments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - Any running on the beach does a number on your calves, if you are not used to it. Barefooting it will be 4x (random multiplier) worse.</p>

 

[jebba]

<p>Hi everyone.  I knew I would wimp out if I tried to do my long run in the heat of the afternoon, so I sucked it up and did 15 miles on the treadmill.  Glad that's over.</p>

 

[Alex]

<p>Rob and John - my laziness and poor time management this morning did not allow me to get my 15 in, but jebba and Dave did it and showed you what's up. Hope your runs continue to be pleasant. I refuse to use a Garmin....I feel dirty even after mapping a run online, so I think I'll stick with time and rough estimates. With how slow my shakeout runs are, I wouldn't be surprised if my average was close to 8mpm. I guess the only numbers I'm trying to worry about are still 6-7 months away.</p>
<p> </p>

[jebba]

<p>Alex, I like your philosophy.  It keeps you from stressing about each daily run as if it alone can predict future success.</p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>Nice run on the trails at Manassas Battlefield NP tonight. I ended up pretty late at the office so by the time I got to the battlefield it was almost 8pm...only enough time for one loop before the sun went down. Too bad because I felt great. But I'm thinking long run or long bike ride tomorrow, so it's probably just as well that I only did one loop.  5.4 hilly trail miles in total right around 8:00/mile pace.</p>
