<p>Good morning!</p>
<p>Well, the nice thing about having Monday off is that it's already 1/2 way through the week. Had a nice easy run this morning and the usual small workout.</p>
<p>SB, time for you to get some spring weather for a change!</p>
<p>I think this will be a summer of experimentation for me with fueling. I need to find something that works without making me feel sick.</p>

<p>Good morning!  Today is a double day for me.  I hit the gym this morning and need to get 5 in after work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suds -  Nice job on the workout and run this morning.  This week feels like such a long week to me. I find the Power gels work the best for me.  They don't bother my stomach at all.  Other than that I drink water only (hate sports drinks) and sometimes will munch some candy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sb - Geez, I hope the winter weather leaves for the season soon!</p>

<p>Hey!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul - I hope you can find the right fuel for you - it's such a huge part of a race as you know.  I find that I need lots of electrolytes and the sports drink I nd gels are higher in electrolytes than most.  Plus, the drink isn't too sweet and doesn't make me sick.  Since we have the week off I'm so confused about what day it is!  glad the week is going quickly for you!</p>
<p>Andi - good job on your workout this morning and have fun on your run!  I hope the weather clears up for you.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well we certainly hit the jackpot for running weather on Monday!  I'm still in MA and the weather was crappy before and has been since. I can't believe that I'm not that sore but I guess it's because I took it easy on Monday.  So happy that I can get back out there and feel good soon and I can't wait to get back to bootcamp because I miss it.  I need a new goal - fall marathon?? </p>

<p>Good morning Andi! Enjoy the double workout today! Vermont will be here soon!</p>
<p>Good mornign Sisu! Yes, the weather was great compared to the surrounding days.</p>
<p>Sisu, plan for the Smuttynose in October. You can always do the half if you want something shorter. And speaking of shorter......</p>

<p>Morning my running friends.  Weights last night so maybe more weights and a run tonight.  I am glad the week is half over!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul maybe you can carry a pizza around with you for fuel?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi if I had the time I would hit the gym in the morning and run later in the day.  Enjoy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susan hope you are having fun in MA.  My kids are off this week.  Where is my Spring break?</p>
<p> </p>

 

[originalsuds]

<p>Good morning Ron! Pizza, I like that idea!</p>

 

[Andi]

<p>Ron - Too bad we don't get a spring break too!  I will be running my 5 around the track while dd is at lax skills.  It's the only way I can fit in a double day.  I wish I could do more than that.  I'd love to throw a few bike rides into the mix but just can't fit it in.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sisu - You are right about the weather.  It has been a very cool and gray April so far.  I want to go to the beach!</p>

<p>good morning...we escaped snow last night!! YAY!! Just rain!! Still so sick of clouds and cold weather...this spring just plain sucks!!  WET WET WET out there and no baseball games this wk again!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>busy day/night...hoping to run since I didnt get out last night.  Swim lessons, baseball practice and the someone from the adoption agency (for a dog) is coming to do our home visit tonight. We didnt get the puppy we wanted a few wks ago...someone else turned in application before us but there is another dog we are interested in right now....trying not to get hopes up until  everything is completed and we know!! Tough decision and I think since we were so disapointed a few wks ago, both DH and I are a little apprehensive now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi...have a great run later...it has been a long week here too!<br>
SUDS...YAY for a short wk!  Do you get Friday off too?</p>
<p>SISU...hope you are having a wonderful time in Boston...how long are you there? Are you going to a game?</p>
<p>Ron...I need a spring break as well!  When do your kids get out of school for summer?? We go until begining of June this yr...vacation seems a long ways off!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!</p>

<p>Staci-Our kids get out of school June 23rd, so maybe that will make your vacation seem closer? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Susan-Great job Monday!  It's great that you aren't sore.  That's the good thing about taking it easy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Suds!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andi-Have a great run later. Good job on hitting the gym earlier!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Ron]

<p>I think technically the kids are off on the 23rd but the teachers have furlough days on the 22nd and 23rd so they are off on the 21st.  I know crazy.</p>

 

[Andi]

<p>My kids get out on June 23 as well because of 5 snow days.  That's ok with me since I have to work and would have to pay a sitter for those days. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Fer!</p>

 

[sb70]

<p> </p>
<p>The 23rd is crazy!! May is murder trying to get kids inside for bedtime...its still light at 9pm who wants to go to bed!!??!!</p>

 

[Andi]

<p>Staci - When do your kids go back to school?  We always return before Labor Day.  The kids will only have about 9 weeks off this year.</p>

 

[Ron]

<p> </p>
<p>Staci by the middle of June the sun is out here until about 8:30 so it is dark by the time they go to bed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My kids go back after Labor day here.</p>
