Pink · Nov 12, 2010

Good Morning -
 
GL Lab
 
Went for a tempo run this morning, but didn't have any gas. 6m with .75 of them bf at the end. I was wondering why our road was so crappy - lots of pebbles, etc. and then remembered, we had snow on Monday morning so the sanders must have come through - guess I should look into purchasing the 5 fingers...
 
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hoping for a quick recovery for lab.
 
Morning Pink. 
 
10 moh this morning at "ez" pace that seemed pretty difficult this morning. 68 degrees with high humidity before cold front coming tomorrow.
 
Have a good day all.

9.5mi 9min pace 35f brrrr. nice wakeup in the desert.
 
staaarving... huge bowl of oatmeal, huge stack of french toast... it's like i haven't eaten in days...
 
pink, don't 5-fingers cost an arm and a leg? a pair of flat converse all-stars will simulate barefoot running with protection too. or some nice new racing flats, that you can use in your next 10k. minimal shoes, minimal cost.

JJJessee · Nov 12, 2010

No run yesterday, just lazy basically.
This morning I did 2.5 easy or thereabouts.
Driving to Richmond to stay with my son who will crew for me tomorrow.
Can't wait to run.
It will be my largest race ever -5000 marathoners or thereabouts.
Will check in tonight maybe.

CNYrunner · Nov 12, 2010

Good Luck JJJ and sounds like you have a good crew lined up
 
4 miles easy this morning, 27 degrees, no watch and all good. Not one cloud or even a wisp in the sky. I was in NYC for work yesterday and had a chance to run in Central Park. Always fun and some of the marathon apparatus was still visible in the park. I did my best Shalane imitation up the hills. Okay, not so much, but it was a fun 7 miles of City running. Veteran's Day parade there too and amazing.
 
Thank you to all who served and serve. A 101 year old WWII veteran who lives one town over died yesterday (obit in today's paper)----bittersweet, yet appropriate right on Veteran's Day.
 
Feel better soon TW
 
How many layers of fleece did you wear mcsolar?
 
Lots of sports on tap this weekend---hockey mom duties this evening at one of the kiddo's game, then we'll head to the Western Mass. x-c championships in Pittsfield on Saturday to cheer our voices hoarse for the Northampton varsity teams going for the wins (the kiddo was a JV runner this year, so he'll be yelling too), then two more hockey games Saturday afternoon/evening. I'll run a half-marathon on Sunday, described here: <a href="http://www.masslive.com/sports/index.ssf/2010/11/elite_runners_set_to_return_fo.html" target="_blank">http://www.masslive.com/sports/index.ssf/2010/11/elite_runners_set_to_return_fo.html</a> Check out my new name in the results blurb---call me Flo!
then a late afternoon hockey game Sunday and Zap! the weekend is over.
 
Have to go read Dove and Maraposai's reports

CNYrunner · Nov 12, 2010

Aack! Internet wackiness!

Tamster · Nov 12, 2010

Good Morning.
 
I'm sorry you are still sick Econo - I don't think I had what you have and that's probably why I got over it fairly quickly. I had more of a head cold/congestion/sore throat - but sounds like you got hit with more of a flu-bug. I still have a nagging cough, but actually feel better when I run because it clears out my sinuses and can get more of a productive cough.
 
feels odd coming into work on a friday when I just had yesterday off - finding it hard to get motivated - but I better get motivated because I just had today and monday before I report for jury duty on Tuesday. I pulled up the court docket for next week (one of the perks I guess) to see what trials were scheduled and if I'd have to conflict off. As it turns out, there are quite a few trials scheduled and only a couple are out of our office and only one trial I'd have to conflict off of. Chances are good that I might actually get chosen next week.
 
might run at lunch time today. or I might not. but I probably will.

Opie · Nov 12, 2010

Nice write-up for you, "Florence."
 
Might run after work, or I might not. If I do, it'll be a puddle-splasher. I still have the weekend left to get in 2 runs.

gobi · Nov 12, 2010

Bonjour and all that French stuff, have been up since 3am UK time and am now chilling before bed in my hotel in Nice. Expo is done and I have my preferencial start so all looking good for Sunday.
 
Did 5kms on the treadmill earlier legs felt great but I was knackered, tomorrows plans include sitting down a lot :¬)
 
Temp here is somewhere between 60 - 70 F which is great after the UK and reading MCs post on the temp in the desert !!!!!
 
Pink - are you a full on barefoot runner ?

Labduck · Nov 12, 2010

Good luck JJJ!
 
I ran 11 miles in the 39°F, 100% RH soup this morning. You can't ever get warm in weather like that. 7:52/mi. Followed by a vasectomy cool down. That was done barefoot. <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">
 
Doc says I can do an easy run next Thursday, and what ever long run I had planned for the weekend. That works for me; my other body parts could use a rest too.

irunmike · Nov 12, 2010

GL this w/e Flo! I mean Karin! You too M. Gobi!
 
Hi Pink!
 
(((econo)))
 
Left the car at home and ran 16 miles to work this morning in IRC. Nice and EZ 8:40 avg pace with a 20sec negative split. S'all goot!
 
Golf, leaf control management, a beverage or two, and football on tap for this w/e.
 
Mike

Sans Souci · Nov 12, 2010

GL, JJJ! You too, Gobi. And, Flo <snork>, you are something else!!! And GL to your hockey player.
Quick recovery, Lab. You know, I could have saved you the procedure cost and recovery time by teaching you a couple of yoga moves.
Feel better, Econo and tw!
Nice running, all!
 
Yoga only today, taught by a dude. Not bad.
 
Hope to run the North Shore mt trails in Van on Sunday.

Hemerocallus · Nov 12, 2010

Good racing tomorrow JJJ and Gobi!!!
 {{{ TW}}} and {{{Econo}}}
 
Dd an hour in the gym at lunch..... with lots of abs, core, and 2 sets of Ferbers. <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">
Will join my training partner tomorrow for 10-12 miles of trails.
 
Will grab a glass of wine when I get home and sit down to read Dove's and Mari's race reports! I want to savour them slowly! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">
 
Have a greta weekend, everyone!!!

Lab, two bags of Birds Eye should do you fine, just rotate them in and out of the freezer.
 
Did a double today, first time in several weeks, as a substitute for a long run this week. 4.85 miles by myself this morning, 9:09 pace, then 6.75 miles with a friend this afternoon, recovery pace of 11:19. Why do the double instead of a long run? Just don't feel like going long this week, don't know why. Plus I'm probably missing running on Sunday, have a funeral to go to (father of another friend). That's life, I guess; you make it fit as it works out.
 
Have a good weekend, everyone.

evanflein · Nov 13, 2010

I was going to work out at the gym today, but forgot about a meeting and lunch I had scheduled. Oops. Maybe go after work. Nope.. that's coming up soon and I don't wanna. I guess it's a rest day. Too bad though. I read the forecast for this weekend, and as gorgeous as today was, tomorrow is cloudy with chance of snow. Drat. oh well.

bap · Nov 13, 2010

I'm too tired to go to the gym. I've worked out 8 times already since Monday. Tell me its OK to miss a workout.

Laura in Houston · Nov 13, 2010

Did my scheduled 6 this morning, so now I don't have to get up early tomorrow! Hardly know how to act - a Saturday morning without an alarm clock set for 5:30 or earlier?
 
Not even any of DS2's baseball games to go to until 4pm, and that might get rained out with our cold front coming through. 
 
So warm today, 77 F, had to take a few walk breaks in the second half just to get the heart rate down. My own fault for starting so late at nearly 10am. Right hip hurt, but not like before, so it must be a distance problem. Got to do the Ferbers tomorrow and Sunday. NSAIDs today. And maybe a jacuzzi soak! I hardly ever use my big bath tub, I forget I even have it!
 
Having trouble with the RunningAhead website today - will have to log the run tomorrow I guess.
 
Snow already - we even had some in Texas - way up as far north as you can go and still be in it. But barefoot on pebbles? Ouchihuahua!
 
Go Gobi! Fly Flo! Jiggety Jig it, JJJ!

Not quite sure what to make of this SS; it does make my mind wander to some interesting places! <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;">

evanflein · Nov 13, 2010

BAP, chill out and take a day off. I did. You can, too!
 
Laura, snow?? In Tx?? Now I've lost faith in all things dear and holy. It's only early November!!
 
Labduck, I was wondering what she meant too. But I can tell you that when DH went thru that, it was right after our Christmas cookie exchange at work. He e-mailed me something to the effect of "just hanging around the house, eatin' cookies, no urge to wander..." 
 
Yep, rest day. Other than some housecleaning and laundry.
