One day to the end of this VRAA's round.<br>
One day to Superbowl (Suds, please don't have a heart attack).<br>
Busy weekend for everyone.<br><br>
I am very slowly getting ready. There is no rush for my LSD today. DH knows I am not moving fast this week and told me to take my time. So I will. No plans for today and I like that. I don't want to do anything or go anywhere.<br>
Time to have breakfast.<br>
Everyone have a great day and keep moving!

I'm lazy today... just finished my breakfast and read las tnight's thread.<br><br>
Alemma, yes, I suggest you buy the S! caps. Get your body used to it for a few more runs before April.<br><br>
KitKat, I read your post about being confined to the DDM. Everyday, except on weekends, I have to be on it and everyday I ask myself if I'll be able to handle such boring run. I know you appreciate having that option. Just keep going. I am really impressed with your mileage and strength coming back from your SF. I wish I was as smart as you are on your training.<br><br>
KY, I hope your ears feel better. It's one of the worst pains ever.<br><br>
Jen, I am excited to hear about your next run. You're recovery has been really really good and fast, once you got to the bottom of the problem.<br><br>
Myron, you are absolutely impressive. And sweet, of course.<br><br>
Cho, I hope you get some rest this weekend. I will work from home too. It was so busy at work that I am behind. It's nice that my boss told me I can either get paid right away for those hours or make it like a bank for when I need time off. I will use it as a bank, since I occasionally travel to races or have to stay home when DD is sick.

hi Suds, 8 miles uphill is a long way up the mountain! I hope work goes by fast for you.<br>
I'm working on my feet before heading out... I am just 1h30min behind the time I planned to start my run...LOL

I can't stick around cuz DD and DH are waiting.<br><br>
I am in absolute awe with the difference that the S! caps made. I can't describe it.<br>
Now I understand how screwed up I was last weekend.<br><br>
27.5 miles in Ty's book today.<br><br>
Alemma, IDK if your running store carries the caps, but I think you have to order them like I did. Mine got here in 3 days. I got each bottle with 100 caps for 9.50 . I can give you the link later if you want.<br><br>
I'll try to catch up later.

Batmomm, I can't believe how much stuff you do in a day... <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"><br><br>
Marianne, not sure if you got an answer yet. S! caps are electrolyte capsules used for longer distances.<br><br>
Hi Sis!<br><br>
I had McD's per choice and it was exactly what I wanted, with a GIANT chocolate milkshake. yeah... GIANT.<br><br>
Cho, have fun with DD!

Willa, the caps made a huge difference for me because I was already having problems. It was nice too when I got to the stage that I couldn't stand tasting the gatorade but had the peace of mind of knowing that everything was under control.

Cho, my legs are hurting now, but nothing more than usual. I took some Advil and hope it gets better by tomorrow morning...<br><br>
Sis, too funny about McD...<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Well, I planned 26, but because I am a dork, I took an old loop that I thought it was a 6 miler for the final loop...it turned out to be a 7.5 one... <img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"> I was feeling great, so it wasn't too bad.

I can't believe how much right stuff you did today. You put me to shame...<br><br>
They don't taste. It's a gel caps. You take it with plenty of fluids and it's all good. I was afraid my tummy was going to feel funny, but I felt NOTHING but staying strong during the entire run. My legs started hurting when they are supposed to hurt, around 18/19 miles... but I was able to keep a consistent comfortable pace all the way. DH is sick of hearing me talk about how amazed I am ...lol
