Morning all. 20 mins on the stationary cycle this AM. As Winnie the Pooh would say, it is a very blustery day out there.
 
Yay solar!!!!

Morning 2oh and Litch!
 
Have a fun day with P, 2oh!
Litch - How are you feeling about the upcoming surgery?
 
I stayed home today. Part mental health day, part getting a cold and feeling a bit under the weather day, part helping my mom day (today is my grandmother's birthday -- the first since she passed in January -- and her headstone was delivered, so my mom's coming up to go there). 
 
I feel like it's gonna be a day more occupied than I planned. 
 
I wanted to get to the pool before the aqua fit class, but the Benadryl I took last night did a number on me. I'll get a workout of some sort in later. Not sure how I feel about swimming when I can't breathe out of my nose. 
 
GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND TO KP!!! who else is racing?

Greetings, all.
 
Spinning last night was brutal. In a good way, of course. At lest twice I swore at the instructor not-so-under-my-breath, but due to the loud music, she couldn't hear me. At one point, however, we were doing standing work. Haaaaaarrrddd standing work. She made the comment of "Get comfortable.. we're going to be here a while....".
 
Fine. /pantpantpant
 
Then just as the music volume dropped significantly, she said "We'll be here seven and a half minutes". I let out a rather loud argumentative whimper of protest. She heard it, and responded with "Hmm.. maybe I shouldn't have told you guys that, huh?" Evil wench! <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif">
 
Core is done for the day. Weights are on tap, and since I don't want to deal with getting miles in on a busy day tomorrow, I'll probably get 5 in tonight on the TM.
 
Safe runs/races this weekend, folks!

3 easy miles this morning. Hay is in the barn for Sunday. The weather forecast looks freaking perfect. Just need two good sleeps and I'm set.

Litchfield Hills · Oct 15, 2010

Morning all! Think I'll take today as a rest day and let my heel get to feeling better before tackling 21 mi tomorrow <img alt="wink.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//wink.gif">
 
GOOD LUCK KP!!!!

An early spring race to keep me on the running straight and narrow. I know boB ran it this past April. And it is pretty close to Missy's new digs. Mini-meetup anyone? 
 
Date is April 10th. Course is hilly, and has some odd areas where you are running on the shoulder of roads that are not closed (at least when I ran it on 2006).

is he gonna show up?
 
Assuming that I'm in decent shape next April - yes.
 
Good luck this weekend KP.

Morning. Hugely busy week of work, then little bro's wedding last night. Not much free time.
 
Good week of training so far. Tuesday speedwork was 6x1 mile repeats alternating between tempo and interval with 1:00 rest. Nailed all the paces. Little fast on the tempo. Did a 12 miler super hilly run on Wednesday night, which felt spectacular and a 6/4 sorta double yesterday. Ran in the morning, then around 1.
 
In the middle of my last big week of training. Coach likes to do the training with five hard weeks followed by a recovery week. Mileage has been good, with some great quality, weeks look like this: 79, 78, 86, and 80. This week should be about 85. I've been skipping two morning runs a week too. So I'm satisfied where I'm at for Philly.
 
2oh - I'm doing Philly.
 
Lora - I'm shhhhh-ing. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif">

GO KP!!!
 
Butt tape and a few miles this morning. I was going to add a couple miles to that, but about 1.25 in some jackass in an SUV was hugging the curb. In trying to avoid him I stepped on a pile of leaves that were covering up a walnut or buckeye. Torqued the gimp ankle. Shooting pains up my leg. Ran another .25 to see if I could run it off, and ended up turning around at the 1.5 mile mark.
 
It's not swollen or discolored, but it is not happy. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/huh.gif" title="">

This is my Pacer impersonation

observation: wow, the Brooks ID uniform shorts are SHORT! 
 
You can tell by the pasty white tops of my thighs that I don't train in short shorts!

Timr1 · Oct 15, 2010

Follow me on this one if you will. 
 
This pic is of me impersonating Maria impersonating Elaine Benis. [Actually, I had just given a thumbs up to the camera man and my right hand hasn't returned to normal]
Notice though that my left hand is calm and relaxed. Not iron clawed like Dom or T-rex fisted like Maria. <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//biggrin.gif">

Love the pics!
 
Quick fly by for me - it has been a busy busy busy busy week. Running has been slacking (again).
 
Fun news: my friend asked me if I wanted to run a 5K tomorrow - YES. Even better, I mentioned it to DS and he wants to race too!

Well then, you're really only performing a 50% Maria impersonation <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//biggrin.gif">

 Ooh man, dig that crazy Tim.

They're such short shorts 
We like short shorts 
Who wears short shorts
 We wear short shorts.
