<p>Good morning all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - Glad the run went well yesterday.  No racing for me this weekend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me - 16 mile run this morning.  The goal was the first 12 miles @ 8:15 pace.  I ended up averaging 8:13 with my splits at 8:16, 8:14, 8:11, 8:14, 8:17, 8:12, 8:08, 8:11, 8:13, 8:12, 8:13, and 8:14.  My goal for the last 4 miles was 7:30 pace and I just completely disregarded the goal pace on these miles averaging 7:19 with my splis at 8:21, 7:16, 7:15, 7:26.  Man was it fun to go out there and run for 2+ hours. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Training Everyone!</p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - good to hear on the 7, rest up</p>
<p><strong>Dave</strong> - nice, that is some Friday morning run!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was up early with the group for a little over 8, we went through a couple gnarly wooded parts of the trail that I had not been on before complete with rocks, fallen trees and pricklers that scratched up my leg.  I need an ice bath.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one, all.</p>

<p><strong>zrun</strong> - nice early run, despite the battle scars</p>
<p><strong>Dave</strong> - awesome workout!</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - enjoy the bike ride</p>
<p> </p>
<p>May try to get out for a mid-morning 5'er but my legs are trashed from the Wednesday track session - that'll teach me to run too fast after not doing speedwork for a month of Sundays.  Supposed to do 400s around 1:24-1:28.  Others are much faster than me but not in a race.  Some I beat in a 10 mile by 3 mins.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heading to Galena later today.  DW is doing a triathlon out there tomorrow.  Hilly as a you know what.  Good job she's had 2 weeks to train on the bike for that... Weather forecast says thunderstorms so it may be a du or cancelled.  Could be a 3+ hr drive for nothing. We shall see. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>MTA: 6.25 miles in the bag.  Sunny 65F.  A bit, dare I say, warm...</p>

<p>Today was speedwork day.  Even thought it was a light rain outside I went out and got wet and did the workout. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>13 X .13  miles or approx.  200's give or take. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>52; 52; 563; 51; 49; 52; 50; 50; 53; 51; 49; 55; 48</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Total 6.2 miles 53:54 (8:41)</p>

<p>Oh, I forgot to mention my workout yesterday afternoon.  I was scheduled for a brick workout, 24 miles on the bike and 1.5 mile run.  It didn't quite workout that way.  At my 16 or so I blew a tire, not did I just get a flat but it blew right through the tire and put a slide in it about 2 inches long.  So there was not fixing it on the road.  If I would have had a dollar bill with me I would have had at least attempted to fix it by putting the dollar on the inside of the tire covering the slice in the tire.  I have never tried it but I am told it works, I use to carry a dollar with me and for some dumb reason I took it out.  I guess I needed a dollar for something.</p>

<p>Morning all and TGIF.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Forecast calls for one more day of rain here but right now it looks nice outside, albeit a bit humid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've got kind of a whatever workout day planned today. I may head out later this afternoon for a couple easy miles, maybe even in my Vibram Five Fingers! I've been wearing them around the house for about a week now...they felt weird at first but I'm getting used to them.  I'm also flirting with taking the bike out for a quick little spin after work; it's National Bike to Work Day today, and I didn't do that because it would be a kamikaze ride on the roads I would have to take. But maybe I can get a ride in later if the rain stays away.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Long run on the trails planned for tomorrow. 2 hours, for however many miles that comes out to.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - enjoy the rest day</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dave - nice long run there. Re: the dollar, yeah I would have blown it on a gatorade stop or something long ago.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>zrun - nice bushwhacking run this morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - have fun being DW's crew this weekend</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - some days you have it, some you don't. Way to pound out the 200s anyway.</p>

<p>hey - slow crowd for a Friday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dave - wow you sound like MacGyver being able to build a plan out of two tooth picks and a balloon.  Sorry to hear about the flat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hawk - let me know how the shoes work.  I see them everywhere but still can't see using them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS enjoy the rest</p>
<p> </p>
<p>zrun - sounds like a fun trail, just watch the poisen ivy it out already.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - don't forget to cheer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kevin - always feels good when it's over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure what I am doing.  Tomorrow is long run with TnT so I shouldn't run tonight but I am in the mood to put a couple miles in on the way home from work.  Will probably sneak 3 miles in with the headphones just to unwind from a long week.  Happy running all!</p>

<p>Logging a goose egg today.  Again.  Life is just getting way to busy.  Hopefully that will give me at least a little bit in the tank for tomorrow's "race".  Should be interesting--race at 9, work at 10.</p>
