<p>Good to see happyfeat and liam posting again.  Hope your feeling better liam.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>15 degrees warmer this morning than yesterday morning.  72 and humid.  6 miles ez and 8 more tonight.  Ran with another (or should I say I started with) one of our gals who is heading to Boston Saturday.  She looked smooth and strong.  I'm guessing sub 3:20.  I ran recovery pace and kept her in sight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2 X 2 mile at 6:45 pace tonight with 1 mile recovery between.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is my sweet dw's birthday.  We'll celebrate with dinner with her family tomorrow night at a local eatery.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's shakin' y'all?</p>

<p>Ks Hippy Burpday to your dw, and enjoy tomorrow. It was my dp's last month (two days after mine) and we are finally getting around to having a parilla and friends over on Sunday to celebrate - Life's just been hectic!  I'm feeling 95% better, still a little cough at times, but enjoyed the run last night, and looking forward to an easy run this evening after a couple of classes I have to do. We had a storm last night which cleared the humid air, and has seen the temps drop to a much more reasonable 18 today (mid 60's), although it will probably warm up a little as the day goes on. Will post my run later....    Enjoy all your runs today everyone.....</p>

<p>Hi Liam and Happyfeat</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img alt="occasion13.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/occasion13.gif" style="width:81px;height:26px;"></span> to KSDW</p>

<p>I still felt a little tired this morning so I did some work before running around noon.  Felt sproinkier by then so I did a nice progression run going a little harder the last couple miles.  7:48 7:24 7:10 7:06 6:55 6:53 6:52 6:36 6:33.  The last 7 miles were very hilly so it felt like I should have been going a little faster.   My legs have been really aching lately so I think I may need a new pair of shoes.  They were a little firm to start with so I may turn them into trail shoes.  Easy day tomorrow followed by a hilly half marathon trail race in WV.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Forgot to mention the weather was incredible today.  60s with little wind and all sunshine!!</p>

<p>Another double on tap today, ks? Where do you find the time...  Happy B-day to the Mrs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Liam and HF!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Spent 90 minutes in the gym today, working all the parts. MLR on tap tomorrow.</p>

<p>KS, just wanted to pop in and wish your DW a great year of racing including the half at Austin in January if she runs it, as long as she doesn't beat me too badly.  If I'm uninjured then.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Been cycling up a storm and posting the miles in the weekly.  So happy tomorrow is a rest day because my legs feel trashed.</p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>Opie - you might get to meet her in a couple weeks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike - I only run doubles once maybe twice per week.  First run is always 5:30 a.m.   No kids at home and dw runs about as much as I do; so no probs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8 more miles tonight with 2 X 2 mile repeats at 10k pace plus 10 secs.</p>

 

[HappyFeat]

<p>Wishing Mrs KSRunr a Very Happy Birthday! </p>
<p>4 easy miles for me tonight.</p>

<p>Happy Birthday to Ms. CCRunner (and I HAVE met her!). Hope it was a fun day for you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do a sort of doubles.... gym time with DH at lunch, and then a run after work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday I ran 11.3 miles, all over the place with a couple out-and-backs, trying to avoid headwind as much as possible. Only partially successful.</p>
<p>But I did stop at the reindeer farm below my office on the way back to check out the newborn reindeer!</p>

<p>Tonight's run was 5.7 miles on rolling hills with a stronger-than-expected wind from the north. Oh well, got it done... Might take a rest day tomorrow. DH and I have a hilly 5k on Saturday morning, but the course is still pretty icy so no PR effort this time around (not a PR course anyway).</p>
