Morning gangstas<br><br>
I start my 'tentative' half marathon training schedule today. But I am also training for an 11 mile trail race which brings me to today's workout -<br><br>
I'm gonna head out to the toughest trail we have, called the red loop. I ran a race here earlier this year. Basically all you do is go up and down the bluff of the Mississippi river for 3 miles. I'm hoping it will help get me ready for the trails in Chattanooga.<br>
Probably just one loop today, plus a warm up mile or so.<br><br>
RA- nice job on the race dood. Could you feel any other Spidey senses? Try climbing any walls yet?

<p>Morning all.  Perfect riding conditions all weekend.  Lows in the low 60's, highs in the mid 70's.  Partly cloudy/overcast.  No real winds to speak of, which is not typical for NW Ohio!  Somehow, however, I just did not enjoy riding at all.  Has me a bit concerned.  Fri 85mi, Sat 86mi, Sun 107mi.</p>

<p>SRD for me.  Right leg oddly sore (hamstring and calf).  Left leg fine.  Maybe from the road camber yesterday?  I'm taking a sick day from work as I had some allergies yesterday afternoon when I took DD to the park.  My nose was on fire and my sinuses are still not right today.  Probably going to be bored senseless.</p>
<p> </p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - Thanks - no wall climbing abilities just yet but I may be able to make a web from the volume of snot coming out my nose.  Enjoy those trails...</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - that's a whole lot of riding... a wee bit burnt out maybe?</p>

<p>4bm-  Sounds like overtraining or as RA put it- burned out. </p>
<p>RA-  Nice race.</p>
<p>BBS-  Enjoy the run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got out for 5 miles today.  My goal right now is to just go out and do some base building miles for a while.  Take it easy and have fun with running.  A long summer of training has me tired I believe.  Have a great day everyone.</p>

<p>Hey all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Long time no post...Internet access, at least by phone, is sometimes hard to come by in Vermont.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, last time you heard from me I was possibly coming to my senses and realizing I wasn't up to a half marathon just yet and that maybe I would drop down to the accompanying 5k race. All of which means, of course, that I ran the half.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I ran it well, under the circumstances. The time of 1:41:56 is a mere shadow of what I can do at my best but I took it as a training run, ran at a relaxed effort the whole way, and the knee didn't act up once. For those reasons I was positively thrilled with how things went. Really it felt like I was rewarded for having the courage to stick to my guns after all. Oh and DW ran the 5k so it was a good day all around.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recovering pretty well now, not surprising given it wasn't an all-out effort. Planning on a swim today. Back to running tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - have a blast with those trails</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - those are a couple of mighty long rides. Fatigue perhaps?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - smokin' HM time. Wow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - well done on the 5</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hey everybody.  Mom, that's alot of miles.  I'd be worn out mentaly for sure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA- nice race!  I just love looking at those great splits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>10 miles easy for me today.  The weather was quite nice.  Got a little warm toward the end, but not too bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who was it that did the Tough Mudder a few months ago?  A friend of mine is asking if I want to sign up with her.  I'm wondering what I'd be getting into.  It's in Dallas March 31 or April 1.</p>
