<p>Good morning kicksters!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A great start to the day.  I went to the pool this morning with no desire whatso ever to swim.  However, I forced myself to get in the water and go.  I was scheduled for a 1700 meter endurance swim.  I grabbed two pair of goggles and put one on the side fo the pool in case I needed them.  My goal was to try and maintiain 55 second laps.  I stayed pretty close, I think I was as much as 3 seconds behind at one point but I ended up finishing on target.  Total time: 31:08 which works out to 54.9 per lap.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Once I was done, I noted that someone else NEEDED my second pair of goggle more than I did.  I guess I donated my goggles to a needed charity.  lol</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 mile run scheduled for lunch!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy training everyone!</p>

<p>Dave- Sorry bout the goggles, sounds like a good swim, have a nice run later</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a recovery 7 miler planed for today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like summer is here already, high 90*, low 70*</p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - take it easy.</p>
<p><strong>Dave</strong> - Nice swim.  Hope you'd already lubed up the second pair of goggles with a bit of spit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day today.  My legs are telling me (a) I need a massage and (b) my Saucony Mirage shoes are harder on them than my Asics DS Trainers.   The wear on the Mirage is quite significant at ~100 miles.  At this rate, the tread will be shot before 200 miles.  Nice value for money...</p>

<p>Morning guys,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day here. Planning to get back at it tomorrow with some trails as I start zeroing in on North Face, but it may be a weird week to get re-started. DW's grandmother is apparently in her final days and we could end up having to fly out to Oregon for a few days at a moment's notice. Not much we can do but await word unfortunately.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice day here, 70s or so for the high. I'll probably take advantage of that and walk up to the campus cafe for lunch. The only other "workout" I have planned is to cut the grass tonight. Now that we're getting more consistent spring weather it's time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dave - your good preparation (extra goggles) made up for someone else's poor preparation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - enjoy the summery 7. We'll be in that here, I predict, in about 2-3 weeks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ETA: RA you sneaky guy, you. Posted while I typed. Interesting about your Mirages. I'm about to turn over my Kinvaras; the old pair has maybe 320 miles on it. New pair almost ready to go.</p>

<p>David--bummer 'bout the goggles.</p>
<p>BBS--looks like after a slow start to spring, someone flipped the switch to summer!</p>
<p>Asics--I never had luck with Saucony.</p>
<p>Hawk--I hear ya about the lawn.  But it is nice to have a chore that the kids can't un-do 30secs after I'm done!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day here.  Trying to get the house back in shape after being gone over the weekend.  Need to order dirt today.  Gah... it never ends.</p>

<p>Mizuno Wave Precision 11s.  Best running shoe I have put on to date.  They used an all new foam for the sole of these shoes which feels superb.  They are very roomy in the toe box and have a similar feel to the Elixers but are a neutral shoe.  Can't say enough about em. I bought them back in March, I will deffinatley get another pair of these.  Try them on next time you are at your running store.</p>

<p>6 1/4 mile run complete.   Lack of discipline; again!  Running too fast from the start.  My goal was to run 8:30s and I started with a 7:55 and 8:06, after that it settled down and I was running 8:30s or so and finished my run averaging 8:21. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like everyone is resting today; except BBS, hope you have a great run BBS!</p>
<p>.</p>

<p>Rain, rain go away.  It has been raining since yesterday afternoon.  So I got some stretching in this morning.  Starting to get rid of my congestion and such.  This cold has just not wanted to go away.  I will start running again tomorrow.  Nice job on all of the workouts and such.</p>
