<p>Friday morning Butts and Guts class.  First time in a month, I'm going to feel that tomorrow (and Sunday!).  Since I'm running a 50k trail race on Sunday I'm thinking that I might just let that be my only workout for today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TGIF everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike</p>

<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike: cool on the trail race!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6.5 mile run early this morning with Andyman and the Diesel. Started in the pitch dark with beautiful starry sky; finished in first traces of light.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day, Peeps!</p>

<p>Good run this morning Zojmn!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for me, not swim for me....it is weird not swimming on a Friday.  I have an easy 40 minute run coming up later on today, just trying to stay fresh for my race on Sunday (Hunterdon Half at Round Valley Reservoi in Clinton, NJ). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have taken the day off and I am going to just chill out and do nothing all day.  I really needed a day away from my office, I am so stressed there that it is giving me some issues.  I'll probably contact some recruiters and scour the internet for some job opportunities as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day everyone!!!</p>

<p>Met a friend this morning and did a tempo run.  I don't think either of us were up for it, but we motivated each other to run so it worked out.  My gps died but he said we finished up under 6:30 pace.  Not too bad considering I've been a lazy ass lately.  Hopefully start some real training next week!  Traveling to Michigan later today for a wedding tomorrow.  I'd rather be watching Kona and college football!</p>

<p>Mike - Enjoy the ultra!</p>

<p>Good morning fellow kickrunners!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a nice 2.5 mile run this morning and then 30 long stretching minutes with some ab work thrown in too.  Ahhhhhhh.....how wonderful.</p>
<p>What a nice way to start the day before work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy your Friday everyone - it's countdown time to the weekend!</p>

<p>slept in till 4:45this morning.  Decided to get back in the pool so I did a 15 minute test to give myslef a benchmark.  Landed right about where I expected distance wise.  So now I just have to figuare out how to get the pool back into the excerise rotation.</p>

 

[Tri-Tammy]

<p>Last night was DS's (final) homecoming football game.  This game has been moved multiple time and they decided on a Thursday with an 8 pm kick-off.  Okay, so the rest of the highschool has a late start today but DS and I were up at the crack of dawn- he for his college classe and me for work.</p>
<p>I wonder if he's as sleepy right now as I am?</p>
<p>Anyway- this is a long way of saying... I have my gym stuff for a strength workout this afternoon but I may just go home. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>TGIF everyone!</p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Hang in there Miles!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a bike commute home for me today.  Work is totally totally insane.</p>

 

[regiolanthe]

<p>Moderate 5 miler - steady 8-8:15 pace for an 8:07 avg.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was going to bike, but the wind made it look unpleasant - despite the fairly warm temps. Guess I'm entering a fall/winter state of mind, although I will be doing regular Saturday long ride tomorrow. Second run in one week. Can't remember the last time I did that!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Finally was able to get on the road bike this morning.  Did an easy 40 minutes on the computrainer for maybe 9ish miles.  Felt good to be able to get back at it.  Followed up with rehab exercises.  I think I was able to move the arm further over my head this time.  Yay!  I didn't even freak out completely at the HUGE spider that was hanging out on the TV remote near my bike. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif" style="width:33px;height:35px;" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement and well wishes!  It makes this downtime easier.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a wonderful weekend!!</p>

<p>30 minutes on the ellipticawhozit late this morning. I take this with a grain of salt, but I cranked out an 8:03 min mile while in HR zn 2-3. 3.63 miles total. 5K time was bit more than 25 min. Wish this translated to the road!</p>

<p>Master - 'slept in till 4:45' - nuts.</p>
<p>Mike - sounds like a great weather waiting for you on Sunday.  Have a great time.  A friend of mine, 78, I think he is, just did 50K on a totally insane trail course (literally you had to be on your hands and knees), took him 10, TEN freakin hours.  Hope it wouldn't take you that long, young man. <img alt="wink.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//wink.gif"></p>
<p>Matt - must be due to the 10/15 tax due.</p>
<p>(well, since I am commenting all M's so far, I will have to add a few more here....)</p>
<p>Miles - Sorry that you are so streesed at work.  Not to discourage you or anything, but are you sure you want to take up a job hunting as you approach the toughest part of IM training...  best of luck toyou.</p>
<p>MQ - woohooo!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Took a Specialized Stumpjumper 29er (demo bike) to the single track.  HA!!!  Immediate PR!!!  35:49!!!  (Previous PR:36:39).  The sore shoulder didn't bother me, but the first 10-15min was shaky - this is my first ride on trail after the Xterra natls and any downhills/slipping/sliding reminded me of the painful crushes I had in Utah and I was hodling onto the brake like a baby.  Boy, this 29er can climb and goes over things much more easily.  THe handlebar was insanely long and I was slow making tight corners, and I got stuck behind a man twice.  In spite of all these, it was still faster.  I am impressed.  Mmmmm, choices, choices, choices....    I have this demo bike until the end of tomorrow.  I may take it to a different trail tomorrow.  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

<p>Finally feeling 100% today after a nasty cold or flu or something. Ran 5m yesterday and felt fine, so took the Little Otters out for 7 in the jogger today. Got to say good morning to the horses at the nearby stables, looked for ducks at the lake, picked up something from a friend's house...very eventful!</p>

<p>2 simple miles interrupted by a sobbing child that didn't want to go to sleep.</p>

6 mile run supposedly with BD and LBD on his bike but my boys left me in the dust. I told them I'd run home and just meet them there and I only beat them by 3 minutes. Damn fastholes! LBD clocked 16 mph on his bike and the kid is just so proud of himself!<br><br>
TGIF and Go Blue!!!
