<p>Morning everyone.  Not sure about your conditions, but it is geross here.  73 degrees and 94% humidity = sweat fest.  I usually take Mondays off, but I got out there this morning for a very slow 3.5 mile recovery run.</p>

<p>Greetings, all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is a no-run day, though I have the usual bi/tri/thigh/core/abs/butt stuff to do.  I've only completed 2/3 of my core work, so I'm a little behind today. </p>

<p>geeross here too.  I mean running through soup basically.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, 11 on Friday (sucked)</p>
<p>about 10 on Saturday with Melissa and Sage and saw Cindi (and the PIG)</p>
<p>6.5 yesterday.</p>
<p>3 this morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>None of those were fun...all soupy</p>

<p>Soupy here on the island too.  Even at 6:15am when I went out for my run. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some dumb reason, I chose to run up a hill this morning.  There was a house way up there and I thought it would have a great view.  It did, but dang, it was hard to get there...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've done about 10 miles combined in two mornings here.  I think I've got a good chance of reaching 25 for the week...</p>

<p>G'morning all. 1.8 mi with a minimalist shoe/barefoot combo, followed by strengthening and stretching, including this glute stretch I found online that looked/seemed easy enough to do.  However my not-so-bendy right hip told me otherwise heh</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Probably not much of anything today for Monday.  Anyone do any racing this weekend other than <strong>Mindi</strong> and her fam?</p>

<p>Morning all!  Got out for a soupy 7 miles this morning, I was drenched!   And I caught my shorts on some dumb fence around a tree, ended up ripping the bottom of them but was more shocked than anything ...could not have hooked them on that fence again if I tried.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great shirts, <strong>Brandy</strong>!</p>

 

[Beaker]

<p>Hey folks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So 2 miles this morning on the treadmill followed by just over 7 on the bike.  I am going to work on buidling my mileage up and then get to real race training!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Brandy love the shirts!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maria yikes, that could have been bad!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bob I applaud you running on vacay!!</p>

<p>Morning.  Still sore from softball.  More than I expected.  Nearly as sore as post-HM!  But, I went to spin this morning and I'm still thinking I will return to running this week.  </p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>Hi.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 for me this morning, just to see. I can feel the splinter spot with my shoe on, but it's much better than barefoot. So it looks like I'll be getting back to the regularly scheduled program. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></p>

<br><br><p>No report here.  While I was doing pilates last night - during the scissor kicks - something tweaked (actually tweaked isn't the right word - HURT) in my left groin.  And then it continued to hurt to even walk last night.  So I iced (and DH may or may not have provided a groin massage; <img alt="surprised.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/surprised.gif">  Where is he when my feet and knees get tweaked?!?) and rested and decided that tackling the hills and trails would not be a good idea.  It still feels a little funky today.  So I'm taking the day completely off.  But, it looks like it was a good day to skip it - holy crap it was 79 and crazy dew point at 5:30!</p>

<p>Cindi - youch!  good decision to not run Hyland because it would have been dreadful in these conditions and would have really been stressful on whatever you tweaked.  There is a lot of sections where you might run side to side a wee bit and I would think that would have been super painful.  Not to mention, if something would have happened, you have to walk out of there...or risk being sucked dry by the bugs.  </p>
