<p>Good running TW....enjoy the trail run tomorrow, as for the question re: catfish & beer....maybe catfish fried in beer batter & beer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pretty darn impressive LR's Mike & Ks. Your guys LR pace is my tempo. <span><img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>

<p>Hey there HF,,,,,your 14 miler today is pretty impressive too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wonder how rip & Heme are doing??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice running Erika....I'm going to be in Colorado 1st week of October (with a side trip to Witchita imbedded). Hope that altitude thing works for me too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great week for you Gobi.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for me....yeah baby, nailed it today, ......and I owe it to the magic "Beach to Bay" cap. That thing must allow me to channel Texas elites........ Erased the memory of that terrible run in the heat of a few days back. Got up early and drove down to the HS track at sunrise. 2 mile WU, 6 @ tempo (8:28, 8:27, 8:15, 8:26, 8:26, 8:25), 2 CD. 10.1 in 1:31. The 8:15 was a fluke as I was explaining track etiquette (sp) to a couple of 1 & 2 lane walkers. </p>
<p>Yeah, I know, don't do speedwork in the heat, but up until this past week, we've had an unseasonably cool summer, and I'm still trying to acclimatize. I'm calling this the 2nd real good run in as many days. Should I go for the hat trick tomorrow....probably not. Off later to dinner & the movies.</p>

<p>Hi FO....glad to hear the knee's a little better.</p>

<p>It's certainly looking like a productive Saturday for the kick regulars today...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very nice trail running Heme, saving that Snakes & Ladders for next weekend, eh??....how far do you have to go to get to some of the trails you run?? I have my own little out & back "trail" just outside the back door, but anything else involves driving.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You're really running well HappyFeat....is this the last long LR before your race or do you have one more??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As far as the feet go, I picked up the pads from the running store yesterday, put 'em in my shoes last night, but took 'em out and decided not to initiate them on a longish run. They certainly feel funny and I think it's going to take some experimentation as to just where to place them. So today I just gritted it out. The toes really don't usually go numb until somewhere between 8 & 12 miles and the bottom of the foot gets very hot. Today it was around 8, so the other 2 miles weren't that bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have to laugh Heme.....My brain is like a sieve....I lose track of laps at the track after 1 or 2 LAPS.....if it weren't for the Garmin, I'd be lost......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and I have that Ala...Gator thing stuck in my head too.</p>
