Running Moms and Dads, Thursday

originalsuds · Mar 13, 2008

Good morning! 
Today was speed work for me. A nice 45 minute tempo run and it felt good. 
Now I'm finishing up the last of my crunches and then throw in a few dips.

chosha2002 · Mar 13, 2008

Good morning Suds! Nice job on that tempo run, crunches and dips! I'm headed out for 4. Back in a bit.

Alemma · Mar 13, 2008

Good morning. 
Suds - Nice job on your tempo! Sounded like a great run...yay! Thanks for the compliment on my RR. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
Chosha - Have fun on your run. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Heather - I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I have never ordered a running skirt. What size should I get from runningskirts? The sizing chart only gives bust size and length of skirt. Well...that doesn't help me! They should list the butt size...duh! (If I missed it, I'm a dork.) And...what does the color "seafoam" look like? <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Heather5395 · Mar 13, 2008

Morning everyone! Woke up at 2am wide awake(probably because I went to bed at 8:30) so went ahead and did my long run for the week....14.25 miles done! LOV cut back weeks. Did abs and some torture with the foam roller too. 
Suds-great job on the tempo run. 
Cho-have a great 4. Where is that pic in your avatar of? Looks heavenly! 
Alemma-me too! I was wondering the same thing about ordering a running skirt. I've never ordered one online so have no clue what size to get.

Jen · Mar 13, 2008

Good morning! 
Suds- Thank you for the car info yesterday. Now we just have to keep our fingers crossed there is nothing wrong with the car. After Johnny's posts the past few months, I'm nervous. 
Cho- Have a great run! I'm assuming your plan has peaked for long runs right? How is everything feeling? I love your new avatar! 
Heather- 14.25 miles at 2AM- WOW. I bet it feels great to be done. 
Alemma- Gaela knows a lot about skirts I'd ask her. I ordered a 3 if that helps any. 
I'm off for 4 on the DM.

LEEMBO35 · Mar 13, 2008

GM! 
I went to bed at 8:30 and woke up at 6:15 thats 9hrs and 45 mins<img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"> 
of straight sleep. I'm getting the kids on the bus since dh went away 
for the day. 
I have 5 or 6 to do later. suds- good workout. chos- love the avatar! Have a good run. alemma- I don't own a running skirt either. I'm sure ty or gaela will know the sizes. Heather- Nice job 14 already. I went to bed at 8:30 too the difference is I'm still being lazy. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

LEEMBO35 · Mar 13, 2008

Hi Jen- Have a good 4!

Jen · Mar 13, 2008

Lee- Great sleep last night! You must feel great. I need to get to bed earlier. Have a good run later.I like you VRAA signature...

Heather5395 · Mar 13, 2008

Jen-have a great 4! 
Lee-I bet that sleep felt AWESOME!!!

willamona · Mar 13, 2008

morning and stuuf. 
alemma-you are built like me so try a size 1, their sizing is consistently inconsistent. You can always exchange it. I have 3 skirts from there in size one. They range from prefect to loose. 
Ugh. morning 
i'll dip ya...

Heather5395 · Mar 13, 2008

Morning Willa, have a great day at work.

IEatHills4Meals · Mar 13, 2008

sis, mine is size 3 and although I like the length, it slides down my butt. Your hip is way smaller than mine, so I say go for a size 1 or 2 (I think 1 would be plenty). I think 0 will be too small. You can always exchange, which is a PITA, but it's still an option... 
No running for me yet. 
Good job everyone on your workouts and runs. 
I hope you all have a great day!

Heather5395 · Mar 13, 2008

Ty-hope you're feeling better today!

NBjunkie · Mar 13, 2008

GM everybody!! 
Great job on the runs already (suds, Chosha, heather) 
gl to those that need to run! 
HEATHER--I got up at 3am to let the dog out and knew I wouldnt be able to go back to sleep before ds2 got up---so I thought, "gee, I should just get up"--except I only have 2 miles to run today--so I decided to go back to bed and fit in my 2 miles later--but am off to the pool this afternoon 
I biked yesterday--had an awesome, f.a.s.t workout--than realized that I didnt tighten my flywheel on my trainer enough--so I really only did half the miles I was suppose to---makes me disappointed--arrgghh!

nicole1650 · Mar 13, 2008

I hate the time change. I have woken up every morning, begrudginly, tired and am super crabby. I need to go to bed at 8:30 one of these nights! 
Heather - 2 AM?!?!?!? You are getting up there in the crazy ranks!! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Suds - what do you run your tempo runs at? 10%? You are another crazy one in my books! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
TY - Hope you start feeling better. I haven't started my core stuff yet so will someone please kick my ass? <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Willa - Ugh and Humpf right back at ya! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Lee - can I come sleep at your house? Does almost 10 hrs of sleep negate the need for Dunkins or is that just a given? <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Jen - GL on your 4 you amazing hot running mama! 
Cho - your avatar is KILLING me!!! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Alemma - you will look AWESOME in a running skirt!!! 
Off to take DD7 to school. DH had to take a cat to the vet b/c it has been puking really bad. It isn't the 22 year old one either, it is one of the kittens. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> (the Orange & White one Alemma). So after I drop her at school it is off to the other grocery store. We have two that I shop at to try and save $. Then I am home to fold more laundry yet again!

nicole1650 · Mar 13, 2008

Morning NB!! See - biking sucks!!! I think it is an omen that you should just throw it away and stick to running and swimming. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

chosha2002 · Mar 13, 2008

4 miles done! It was cool watching the clouds roll through in the dark. There is a storm a little north of us, so there's a chance we could get some rain, but probably not likely. 
Alemma - Morning! Have a great day today! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Heather - Great job on your LSD and abs! You racked up some miles this week. That is a picture of the Caribbean. I was googling for images last night and saw that. I thought to the north of us dealing with lots of snow would like it. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> 
Jen - Have fun on your 4! Yup. The plan peaked at 17mpw w/my 7m lsd on Sat. I'll repeat the end of it which includes the peak week before the 10K though. After I finish the plan, I still have several weeks before the race. 
Lee - Have a great 5/6 later! 
Willa - Have a great day today! 
Ty - Good morning! How are you feeling? Hope you have a great day!

NBjunkie · Mar 13, 2008

NICOLE--LMAO--actually biking is my favorite--<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">--you too will like it soon! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">--sorry about the kitty--hope he/she is ok?

chosha2002 · Mar 13, 2008

Good morning NB and Nicole!
