<p>Where is everyone today? <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_131255791333915"><img alt="dontknow.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_131255791333914" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/dontknow.gif"></span></p>

<p><span>Nice day around here...I've got a deadline to meet at work so getting out for a midday jaunt might be tough. But my bag's packed and ready to go. If I wait til after work I'll probably just go do some VFF barefooting at the track and football field.</span> "Long" run of 8-10 planned for tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Tempo run last night...didn't go so well. I was supposed to warm up with 2 miles, then go 2 @ 6:45 pace and cool down for 2. Couldn't even hang for 1 mile at the 6:45 pace and bailed on it, did a little recovery jog then another half mile at MP. Cooled down for a mile and that made 5. I'm trying not to get discouraged by the poor performances while I try to get my conditioning back but it's tough.</span><br>
 </p>
<p><span>Half marathon on 9/10 will probably determine whether I'm in or out for Chicago.</span></p>

<p>Happy running all. So who's racing this weekend?</p>

<p>Ahhh... what doesn't refresh work on this site... I just started a thread and got all fancy with a poll question...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dude, I can't run a 6:45 mile outside of a race.  In years past it's been no problem but this year I just can't do it.  Very annoying.  I think I need to look at my diet.</p>

<p>LOL on the poll question.</p>

<p>And re: RNR Chicago Half, nice you got to avoid the ridiculous entry fee. BTW, the National Marathon and Half Marathon just got taken over by RNR. They changed the name of it to the "USA Marathon" and no doubt will change the course so it's more touristy like Marine Corps, rather than focused on neighborhoods where actual people live. And of course we'll all get to pay a lot more. Sigh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Having lodged my complaint about RNR, though, I've actually flirted with the idea of doing their Latin Music HM in Miami, 12/11. Of course, I also keep saying I want to do ING Miami Marathon in late January and haven't done that yet, either.</p>

<p>Logged a big fat zero for today.  Wasn't really feelin' it to head to the fishbowl.  Figured with the busy weekend coming up sleep was more important.  Heading to the race venue in just a bit where I'll camp.  Working the woman's race tomorrow, then racing Sunday.  Wicked hard course, so not really expecting anything to happen.</p>

Good day.<br><br>
21mile run this morning. I drank 3 x 16 oz bottles plus water fountains and stilled weighed 6 pounds less when I got done. Hot and humid again with heat advisory. I averaged an 8:39 pace. I was shooting for 8:30, but I will take what I got with the heat and this weeks training. 100 mile bike ride in the morning.<br><br>
Happy training

<p>Nice job on all the running and such this morning. </p>

<p>I had a scheduled rest day.  Did some stretching and such.  Then it is off to the chiropractor this afternoon.</p>
