[Thor]

<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will catch up with the weekend daily threads later. Been very busy with life, work, and everything in between.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My weekend went like this...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Saturday: 4 miles easy</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sunday: 11.5 miles in total. 2 mile warmup. 3.8 mile Ascutney Mountain Run covering 2300 feet of ascent, all up with finish at mountain summit. Ran 10 seconds slower than last year but felt pretty good. I know I'm a bit slower this year, so all is good. This was the last race in the mountain series, with a massive party afterward down by a nearby river. Check FB for pictures or wait a few days until I do a race report (see my blog). Cool down with a run to the true summit on a windy, rocky trail. Fun, fun stuff. Sad that the mountain series is now over. Soaked body in the river after the race for a few hours. Feeling fatigued by good in the body... for a change!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monday: 3+ miles easy.</p>

<p>DOR on the schedule for me. Hoping to try a run this week after 2 weeks resting the ankle. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the Monday as best you can.  It is Monday after all.</p>

<p>Nice finish to the season Thor!!! Glad you had a good weekend!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ended up with a quick 2-miler last night with the pooch...hadn't taken her in about a week, so she was long overdue. Left all electronics at home and just enjoyed hanging with the wonder dog.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today - bike commute - will be just about 28 total (it's something like 13.7 each way). I was making very good time until I got a flat...first one in a loooooong time. Back tire of course. But, got it fixed, went on my way and still got to work on time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day today everyone!!</p>

<p>DOR today. I'm sitting in an 8 hour School Law grad class on this spectacular day. Oh well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thor - Nice job!</p>

<p>Very quiet weekend.</p>
<p>Saturday- 1:15:00 steady bike over my go to course to gauge how I'm doing.  Last time I did this ride it took me 1:25:00.  Felt good. </p>
<p>Then I had a deep tissue massage on my right calf and shins.  OMG <span><img alt="cussing.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cussing.gif" style="width:33px;height:36px;"></span> that freakin' hurt!  I can happily say that my shin splints feel better but I still have some bruising.  No running this weekend- just loads of ice/heat, stretching, massage and relaxation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Straight swim this afternoon- just to boost my confidence.  2,000 m planned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>About a 4.5 mile lunch run ... an easy 8:50 - constant pace ... sensible for the 90F weather...</p>

<p>Nice going Thor. 10 seconds difference in a trail from one year to the next is insignificant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Daily run for me today. I have a hilly 10K next weekend. I also need to get in the pool and do some swimming for a tri I'm supposed to do in 2 weeks. Maybe a few times out on the bike would be a good idea too. Plus I need to do some runs on Pikes Peak.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>--------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>47m 10s - 5.37 miles - 08m 47s/Mi<br><br>
10:30 AM <br><br>
Equipment: Nike Pegasus 04/11<br><br>
Warm/upper 70s - Sunny and windy. Crawford/Puckett/Security/Kiva/Fontaine/Grinnell to Wageman trail to Community Center trail to Widdick/Crawford/Upton/home. Short easy effort run. Slightly sore from the race. Stretching afterward.</p>

 

[zojmn151]

<p>BRICK planned for tonight w/a fellow trier...should be hot and sweaty!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got the ok from the Doc to keep at current activity level...doesn't think I tore anything, just strained the hip flexor/quad insertion point...go back for a follow up in 3 weeks.</p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Went camping with the Big Family over the weekend and did no workouts for the 3 days.  I was due for a short break.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Easing back into it today with a 4-mile lunchtime run, then masters swim later this evening.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[hobey]

<p>Crazy busy for me. My to-do list doesn't seem to stop growing...:-/</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got 4 miles in yesterday and then just a bike commute today.</p>

 

[Yo Sake]

<p>Busy days....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got back late last night from The Cherry Festival in Traverse City.  What a beautiful weekend.  DH ran 15K in 4-min PR time, and DS ran 5K 3-min PCR.  Invitation-only Golden Mile was won at 4:05.  Fun to watch!  I got in 9mile slow run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today was 50min on a trainer with 4x5min. hard interval.  I need to get serious about riding.  Body still not feeling strong.  4 races in 6 weekends coming up before heading to West (Yosemite, SF, etc) for 10-day vacation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[em73]

<p>"ran" 3 last night, 2 with the husband, 1 without.   all 3 sucked and required frequent walk breaks as it was hot, hot, hot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Muffin Queen]

<p>@em73:  Good for you for getting it done!</p>

 

[AdCo]

<p>thought I posted.  4.- miles.. 2 with mrs, 2 with just me!   HOT, HOT, HOT!!!</p>

 

[cak73]

<p>3100y at masters swim.  Some drills and breath control stuff.  A bit of IM. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pool is only ~1.3 miles from my house and I finally rode my bike there and back for the first time!  Should do that more often, so long as the daylight at 5:45am permits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have actually been pretty busy at work.  Wasn't able to get any workouts in on Thu or Fri.</p>
<p>Got back at again on Sat with a short brick (~57 min ride, ~15 min run).</p>
<p>Saturday evening, I met up with AdCo, MoCo, Bonnie and Bonnie's dancing friend for some grub and beers.  A fun visit!</p>
<p>Sunday was an awesome day for a ride and I went out for ~2.5 hours.<br>
