<p>Good morning!</p>
<p>A nice tempo run for me this morning and workout. I'm glad it's Thursday, but then again it's only Thursday.</p>
<p>Hope you all have a good day today.</p>
<p>Sisu, maybe you should do the half with Andi and Lee!</p>
<p>Ron, send some of that nice weather this way. I know I'll be complaining about the heat soon, but right now I could use some warmer weather.</p>

 

[Andi]

<p>Good morning.  Today is a rest day.  I did not get my run in last night but I figure my body could use a rest since I've worked out hard for 10 days in a row.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suds - nice job on the tempo run!  The weekend will be here soon.  How far are you running this weekend?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu - suds has the right idea.  Come run the half with me and Heather.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Good morning Andi! Sounds like you need a break, that's part of training too!</p>
<p>I'm up for 6 and 12 this weekend, a nice kick back week. How about you?</p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Hi Suds and Andi</p>
<p>Andi - enjoy your rest day - you deserve it.  </p>
<p>Sudsy - good job on your tempo run.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will be hitting the TM today since have ds home sick.  have a good day!</p>

 

[Ron]

<p>Morning my running friends.  I got a slow 4 in last night and hit the weights.  There will be more of the same later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is warm again today Paul but I can't enjoy it from my office.  I will be complaining about the heat soon too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi enjoy the rest while you can.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susan have a good TM run and sorry about the sick kid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QOD Anyone have any vacations planned this Summer?</p>

 

[Andi]

<p>I just registered Heather and myself for a marathon.  Yikes!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suds - I was thinking of you today when I was at the bike store buying fuel for my long run.  What are you using to fuel up?  Maybe that is why your longer runs are so hard. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ron - Too bad we have to work and can't enjoy the nice weather.  Boo!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu - aww, poor ds.  I hope he feels better soon.  Enjoy your run. </p>

 

[originalsuds]

<p>Good morning Sisu! Enjoy your run!</p>
<p>Good morning Ron! Have a good run and workout later. No plans for me this summer.</p>
<p>Andi, I don't know what it is lately. I seem to be getting worse instead of better when it comes to the long runs. Maybe I'll try a gel every 45 minutes instead of every hour and see what happens.</p>
<p>What store do you buy yours at? The one in Whitman?</p>

 

[Ron]

<p>I want to plan a marathon now. </p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Hi Ron!  Maine Marathon in October.  There you go, I just planned a marathon for you and Fer!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sudsy - are you getting enough electrolytes?  Do you use a sports drink in addition to gels?  I can't do Gatorade so I've been using Heed or E-Fuel electrolyte drink from Crank Sports.  I really like the E-gels and E-Fuel and used just E-Fuel drink on my long run last weekend and felt really good.  I hope you can figure it out because the whole fueling thing is so frustrating.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 miles on the TM done.  I can't believe how many sick days my kids have had this year!  They are usually very healthy but they keep getting these viruses.  Ds has a fever, cough and hasn't eaten all day.  blah.</p>

 

[originalsuds]

<p>Sisu, I've been taking Endurolite capsules because I don't care for drinking sports drinks during a long run. I guess I'll see what happens in a couple of weeks.</p>

 

[Fer]

<p>I would love to go to Maine!!!</p>

 

[Ron]

<p>I would too.  We found out earlier today that we only have two baseball games (one for each boy) this weekend but they are at the same time in opposite directions.  Bummer.</p>

 

[Ron]

<p>Susan my oldest son has missed more sick days this year then he has in his previous 7 years of school.</p>

 

[Sisu]

<p>Paul - are you using Gu Octane gels? </p>

 

[Ron]

<p>I am terrible about taking in calories when I am running.  I need to get better at that.</p>
