<p>Happy Memorial Day everyone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another scheduled rest day for me. Nice taper this week before the race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me and DS are about to go fishing.  I may get in a swim or bike later on today.</p>

<p>Recovery run.  Decided to try barefoot on the track.  Felt really good.  On lap 5 I felt like I was starting to get a blister on the bottom of my third toe.  I stopped after lap 6 to put shoes on.  That's when I discovered I had a bleeding cut/ripped open blister.  Huh... imagine that.  Barefoot laps were 2:18, shoes 2:10.  Not sure what to make of that.  3m total.  Now off to tackle the jungle (back garden) and hopefully get stuff planted today.</p>

<p>BBS--savor the time with your ds.</p>

<p>Morning BBS & 4BM.<br><br>
Tired legs plus steamy heat today equals a rest day for me. I'm in taper mode now, too. We're going to see the Phillies play the Nationals at Nats Park though and that should be fun.<br><br>
Have good runs and enjoy the day everyone.</p>

<p>Nothing for me yet today.  Hopefully later it will stop raining.  Woke up and there was snow on my car.  I am so done with this weather.  Enjoy all the Memorial Day activities.</p>

<p>Well the weather broke yesterday afternoon and now it's like the tropics... 6.25 miles.  Hope <strong>zrun's</strong> race went well.</p>

<p>Hey everyone.  Happy day off.  Hope everyone's enjoying the long weekend.  Knee's feeling a lot better.  As soon as I get 3 days with no symptoms I'm back out there.  Hopefully Wed.  D</p>

<p>Good day everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry I have missed most of the threads since Thursday.  I had to pull a 24 hour shift at work Thursday and then Friday morning packed up the camper and headed to Lake Martin, AL for the weekend.  It was a great weekend.  I was able to get in two open water swims of 1 mile and 1.27 miles as well as two runs, 4.5 and 6 miles both at about an 8 minute pace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Training everyone!</p>

<p>6:47; 6:51; 6:32; 6:37; 6:53; 6:46; 6:59; 6:53</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Overall it was an o.k. run.</p>

<p>Happy Memorial Day!   Things were pretty hot and sunny this morning and 5k wound up at 23:05.  Whatever, 5k's are really starting to bug me.  Got the HR up and splits were 7:19, 7:28, 7:32 but last .12 on Garmin was 6:28 pace so maybe I could have pushed it more the last mile.    As it was, that somehow was 3rd ag.  With a 10 miler going on at the same time, 5k field was not very competitive.   My dad also walked away with a 2nd age group award.    We got back just in time to watch son2's cub scout troup in M-day parade.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looked at the forecast and as <strong>RA</strong> said it is getting tropical.   Time to get the runs in early!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice running all and take care.</p>
