<p>Greetings, all/</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bi/Tri/Thigh/butt work has been done.  Abs + core are on tap for later today.  How about you? </p>

<p>I have two sets of gym duds in my bag for running at lunch and/or warm yoga at 4:30.  HOWEVER, I'm tempted to leave at noon today and try and get some yardwork done before the 40 days and nights of rain starts. OK, I exaggerate - but it's supposed to rain all weekend.  Boo.  If it's not raining, I'm leaving and I'll figure out my workout du jour later.</p>

<p>I think the weather is supposed to be nice here this weekend.  It was raining all week, so it's about time.  Anyway, that's good, since I got the two 5ks this weekend.  I suppose I'll go all out tomorrow.  As my last day in the 30s Age Group, it'll probably be my last chance to compete for an AG award for a long time.  Then again, I've certainly run many races where I haven't competed in the 30s.  I really have no clue what this field will be like.  I just think I'm <em>more likely</em> to compete on Saturday in my 30s than on Sunday in my 40s.  Especially when Sunday is my second race day in a row.  And by the way, Sunday will really be about my daughter doing her first kids' run...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I took yesterday off.  Today I'll do some kind of easy run to loosen up for tomorrow, I guess...</p>

<p>It is wicked gorgeous here.  But I did not get my butt out of bed to run as planned.  I have been insanely busy at work and stressed out due to FIL's upcoming visit.  Needed the sleep instead.  I did to my arm weights though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have only run about 3 times since May 1.  Need to get back at it as I am feeling a bit Pillsbury-dough-girlish.  BUT, the reality with my work situation is that isn't going to really happen.  Oh well.  I should be able to get out both days this weekend hopefully.</p>

<p>3 miles done this morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a half day for a wedding.  I need to go back to the mall and buy the dress I tried on last night and sent the picture to DH.  He then responded "looks nice".  I asked if it was better than the dress I already had. He didn't know. I get home after 2 hours at the freaking mall (and lots of walking and the purchase of 1 pair of shoes) and he asks me where the dress is.   "I didn't get it"  Insert sad expression from him "well, it was so cute". Sigh</p>

<p>I have some modest fitnessing to report.  I hadn't run in about 6 weeks, so I packed a bag and headed to the gym after work.  I ran 2 miles in 1/2 mile increments with a bit of walking in between (about 2.75 mi total run/walk). </p>

 

[solarpowered]

<p>After sitting on my butt for a bit yesterday after work while the rain and thunder moved through (see blog post), I got a 30 minute bike ride in and then headed to yoga.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then I got up at 4:45 this morning and ran 5 miles before work.  If it's clear after work, I'll get more bike time in. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck to <strong>Maria</strong> and her RTB crew!</p>
<p>Good luck <strong>Bob</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>Amy's</strong> race is this weekend, too, right?  Go, Amy!</p>
<p>Who else? </p>

Me!  Nothing as cool as a HM or RTB, but it's a small 10k event.  Small enough that I've age placed in the past 3 years.   (Once, by the skin of my teeth, but anyway...)  It's also the only course that I've broken an hour for a 10k. Hopefully tomorrow (ankle permitting) history will repeat itself. </p>

<p>Yes, I have an <em>event</em> tomorrow involving 13.1 miles.  J and I are running together.  <em>Event</em> strategy is once we break through the start crowd to use a run 3 min, walk 1 min ratio, adjusting for hills and water stations.   Forecast isn't great for tomorrow, Js been battling an ankle issue, and I just got over a virus....but, if we go in rested and hydrated, we should be able to have an ok day.  If any of the stars align, we may having a surprisingly good day.  I'd be thrilled with anything under 3 hours.   I don't know my bib number, but there does appear to be some online tracking <a href="http://www.geisthalf.com/index.asp" target="_blank">http://www.geisthalf.com/index.asp</a></p>

<p>I've been walking with my coworkers at lunch lately.  Gotten in anywhere from 1.5 mi to 3.7 mi.  Just good to be getting any exercise lately...been a while.</p>

 

[gatorbob]

[Timr1]

<p>DS lost his semi-final baseball game last night, so I'm free on Saturday morning.  I'm heading over to the state park to sign up for tomorrow's Xtrerra trail HM.</p>

<p>Good luck to the racers!</p>

<p>Three workouts for me today:  second day of the leg circuits (same as Tuesday) in the morning, then after work did a pullup/pushup/situp pyramid workout:  1 pullup, 2 pushups, 3 situps x the level of the pyramid, up to four and back down so ended up doing a total of 16 pullups (most were negatives) - 32 pushups - 48 situps, rested about 10 minutes and ran an easy 5.1 miles.  Felt like I was floating...best easy run I've had in a few weeks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now it's beer time!</p>

<p>I got tired just reading about <strong>KP</strong>'s workout...  <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130593386524323"><img alt="confused4.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130593386524322" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/confused4.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is that a tired smilie?   It's the closest thing I could find...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did 3 easy miles at the track.  Hopefully I'll be all set for the 5k tomorrow morning...</p>
