<p>Hey, tw! nice running.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Strange. Up here it's 48F and we're getting some off and on drizzle.  Did 6 miles in it, 8:28 avg pace.  Spring is right around the corner.</p>

 

[Hemerocallus]

<p>Mornin' guys!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's greta news, TW!  Makes me happy to hear you're running.</p>
<p>Nice pace, Mike!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No running for me today.  Temps dropped overnight and we woke up late to a couple of inches of fresh clean snow.  Would have been a lovely day to run, but I wouldn't trade today's nice day for yesterday's experience for anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Might try out my new yoga-for-runners DVD later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a wonderful day, everybody!!</p>

<p>Heme, those experiences can't be beat.  I still enjoy the race I ran a few years ago with Bill Rodgers finishing right behind me in a 5k.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Way to go TW.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike, you are getting the weather a day behind us. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fantastic sunday morning.</p>

<p>Afternoon all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was a perfect morning for a long run. I met up with the OKC running club and ran 20.2 miles. I felt great the whole run and was very pleased with that after yesterdays race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great Sunday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul</p>

 

[JJJessee]

<p>Our our rain turn into full wet  snow and currently beginning to acculmulate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Indeed, Heme, you deserve a rest day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did 8 yesterday, and have noticed my right achilles has not fully recovered from the race, may be even worse. </p>
<p>It's flares up after any long run, but is usually gone in a day or two with some massage. </p>
<p>It's just taking it's time I guess so I'm off the trail for a day or two.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hey <strong>Johnny</strong> - no rain here for several days, but this morning is gray overcast and low 40's. I'm on the North Olympic Peninsula, north of Olympic National Park, next to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Our weather here is really pretty moderate. We don't get the rain that many areas east of us do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I feel like a new person today. Just finished a yoga/stretch workout and plan on heading out soon to run my 10-mile "rolling hills route" on the bike trail at a leisurely pace.</p>

<p>This is a great thread. I like the positivity! You're all kewl people.</p>

<p>..mike//......start drinking Immediately, you're falling behind.....</p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>Looks like all the peeps are having a good day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul - did you run on the marathon course?   Any advice about the course for me?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tom - don't encourage Mike to drink; I've seen him drink.</p>

 

[Baba O'Riley]

<p>Hi, gang.</p>
<p>   Five steady miles here. Second consecutive day of this effort -- something that did not occur at all in '10. Hopefully this starts a bit of a groove. Light rain, temps a touch over 50 for both days. Yes, shorts....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs, all  </p>

Most of this mornings run was on the marathon course. No specific tips or advice on the course. The main thing is what direction the wind will be from on marathon day, if strong out of the south be sure to save something for the run down Classen (miles 20-23).</p>

<p>Lookin' good, Baba!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>JJJ.... I had nagging Achilles problems last year, and in desperation put small gel lifts (<1/4") in each shoe under the insole.  No problems now, but am a bit afraid to take them out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just finished doing my new Yoga for Runners DVD.</p>
<p>And I feel sooooooo relaxed!!</p>

 

[Johnny]

<p>Hi all....got up super early (for me) and ran 4 miles at dawn. No drinkin' either....Then off to work, no rain yippee. Just a few more days of this hectic schedule, then back to underemployment. I think I can hang.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice run in the new shoes TW.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yoga for runners....Heme, I'd be interested in the particulars (name, instructor, etc) for that. I'm getting tired of my DVD (Rodney Yee)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice runs Mike & Rip........the way Charlie Sheen is goin' the only gig he's gonna get will be Major League 3 or 4 or whatever it's up to. <span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Happy Feat....you're a real PNWer.....I'm down here about 30 miles north of the Calif. line (as the crow flies). I really don't consider that PNW anyway. Nice 10 miler today for you.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Way to go Baba........ 2 days in a row...this is your year.<span><img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>JJJ....hope the achilles is OK.....I'll get around to reading your RR in the next few days........promise.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Congrats on the 20 miler Paul....what are you training for.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Lastly.........((((((((Opie)))))))</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Hope I didn't forget anyone....I guess the one good thing about just a few posting is you can give everyone a shout out. (Trying to remember more than a few things just gives me a headache.)</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Hi KS.....you always rest on Sundays. right??</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Good running to all</span></p>

<p>2:30:00 today</p>
<p>50 miles on the week</p>
<p> </p>
<p>JJJ,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Make your feet as strong as possible. It can really help</p>
<p>with PF and achilles problems. It helps to balance</p>
<p>off the strong calves. Spending time in some</p>
<p>flat, flexible running shoes can help (like</p>
<p>the Nike Free 3.0). GOod luck with that.</p>
<p> </p>
