<p>Good morning all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Deja vu -- another 10 miles on the canal path...</p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>Good morning loopy.  I am going to try for another 5 miles this morning.  It is currently 47 and it looks like it rained not long ago.  enjoy the morning and workouts everyone.</p>

 

[zrun]

<p>Happy Friday,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loopy - you must have every inch of that path memorized by now!</p>
<p>kfuller - have a nice 5, sounds perfect</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like folks had some great runs yesterday!   Just some easy stretching for me this morning.  Looking forward to meeting up with <strong>Chances </strong>at the Expo tomorrow. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Morning, all. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Loopy</strong> -- Another solid run in the books. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Kevin</strong> -- Sounds like great conditions. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Zrun</strong> -- See private message.  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blush.gif" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>RA</strong> -- You too.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Me</strong> -- I've never been on the fence for so long about anything in my life.  It's been an agonizing 48 hours as I've watched the forecast in Chicago go from less than ideal but manageable, to moderately tolerable, to slightly menacing.  My thought was I could outrun the heat that was coming by late morning.  I'm in.  I'm out.  I'm in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm out.  Another uptick in the forecast overnight.  Hometown race is the same day.  Conditions here aren't great, either, but better.  I just want what is likely my last marathon to reflect my best effort.  Gonna miss meeting up with <strong>zrun, RA</strong>, and some other fine folks.  Disappointed, yes.  This is the second time I've bailed out of Chicago.  DW will be happy, however.  <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm ready to be called whatever derogatory names you all have for me.  </p>

Loopy- nice job on the path<br><br>
Kevin- send some of that rain this way<br><br>
zrun- enjoy the expo, watch out for that Rob fella<br><br>
holding over at work today, so it's gonna be a rester

 

[kfuller]

<p>Chances-  If the weather in Boise is anything like here in Salt Lake you should be fine.  We are suppose to have mid 60's for about the next 5-6 days.  Too bad about Chicago though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got out for 5 miles in 44:59(8:59).  It was a nice easy run once I got rolling.</p>

 

[RunAsics]

<p>Nothing but roaming the expo today.  Sunny, blue skies and breezy.  It'll be a sunblock day on Sunday!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Chances</strong> -  YOU WILL GET SUB3!  Having your family there will make it all the more sweeter.  Bummer that we miss each other though.</p>
<p><strong>kfuller </strong>- nice 5'er.</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - rest up buddy</p>
<p><strong>zrun</strong> - hope the hammie is holding up.  My hip and calf are aching.  I'll be stretching after walking the expo.  Taper nerves and all.</p>
<p><strong>Loopy</strong> - I bet you can run that 10 with your eyes closes.  Not that I'd recommend that but just sayin'...</p>

 

[Jill]

<p><strong>Good luck RA, chances and zrun!!!!!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice running already this morning. I'm getting ready for my run now.</p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>Morning all, happy Friday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure what I'm doing today. I'd like to get at least 9-10 done this afternoon over "lunch" but that may not be realistic. I may have to settle for a more pedestrian total of 5 or so. It's OK, either way I'd be going at recovery pace. As long as I get something in...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chances - Ah I see, you just want to be the big fish in the smaller (cooler) pond. Oh well, fewer auto-generated text messages for me on race day. Good luck in Boise. I wasn't going to jinx you by bringing up the number "2" but since RA already did, I must admit like your "chances." <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" title=""> For me it's still a far-away (unattainable?) pipe dream...so go do it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA/zrun - you're ready to rock it. Good luck!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>loopy - good job on the deja vu all over again run</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - enjoy the "rest" or what passes for it</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - sounds like some nice weather in the Wasatch valley and that you're enjoying it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jill - you and me both, getting ready to run. Have a good one.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[4boysmom]

<p>GOOD LUCK WEEKEND RACERS!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Flyby here.  All set to just drop off son4 at home school co-op, I was (rudely!) reminded that I was working this morning.  Aw crap...  Good think I hadn't planned on running this morning.  Instead, I had a l-o-n-g list of errands to run!  Maybe later.  Once back home I did manage to return ALL phone calls, resulting in two new appointments.  Can I get a vacation day or two already?!  Oh, long way of saying, today is a rest day.</p>

 

[Jill]

<p>6.3 (or something like that) very easy miles in the park today. Busy afternoon ahead.</p>

<br><br><p>Nice. Still waiting to get mine in. Hoping if I can finish up this thing I'm working on, to bail outta here early and hit the trail. Beautiful day outside.</p>

 

[Plugging Along]

<p>1 mile carbo depletion sequence on the track. Jogged 600m in 3:12 as warm up then all out sprint 1010 meters in 3:50. Muscles got a good burn.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hit McDonalds for a big mac and I am working on a quart of gatorade. I've finished packing and am heading out for a 3 hour drive to the marathon. Another snack on the road and some free (well, included in the entry fee) spaghetti tonight and I should be good to go tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Weather says about 54 at the start, 64 at the finish. I wish it would stay under 60 but the trail is heavily wooded and I trained in the heat this summer, so not so bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good running everybody.</p>

 

[Apple]

<p>I got nothin.... <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif"> </p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>Sadly I'm with Apple. Work is such a pain these days. Stole my lunch run, then my Plan B, a post-work trail run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am actually considering a TM run in the basement after the Phillies game. Not missing that, however.</p>

 

[zrun]

<p><strong>Chances</strong> - sorry I won't get to see you, but sounds like Boise is a good move and I hope you crush it.</p>
<p><strong>RA</strong> - You can outrun the heat - - or maybe it won't be so bad after all  -  In any case, have a great one tomorrow</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks to all for the good wishes.  Just finished my bottle of Ultra Fuel and leaving work to get some more carbs and get everything packed to go.</p>
