Good morning,<br>
Got up early and went for a 11.25 mile bike ride. Stopped at the gym and did 60 minutes on the elliptical before riding home. I was going to go swim laps too, but I was pretty tuckered out after the bike and EFX, so I'll swim tomorrow. I had little to no discomfort in my Achilles during my workout, and right now I am only feeling the mildest of discomfort in the area, and it's not constant. The road to recovery feels slow, but I'm trying to be patient.

 

[Moment's Notice]

Nice running weather, 56F. 20 miles on the Wiouwash Trail.<br>
Have a great weekend everyone!

12.5 miles this morning. A bit of a mental struggle.

 

[roots]

Feels like early autumn! 62F, clear and breezy at 8:00a<br><br>
5 miles easy (40min), cooled down with 6x strides. Felt really peppy this morning for an E-pace run.<br><br>
Cycled to meet the group for breakfast and back home (9 miles)<br><br>
10M race tomorrow. For those VDOT fans, my last test, the 4M race from 4 weeks ago placed my VDOT in the 52 range. Last time I ran 10M race was 8-9 years ago at the Army base. The PR is irrelevant and I should set a new mark tomorrow. Based on my last couple T-pace workouts, and my VDOT, I ought to run somewhere in the 66min range. Weather seems decent. We'll see.<br><br>
Have good runs, all.

2 hours trails. Lovely lovely weather, felt like a dream. I was slated to do 3 hours, but my knee is getting better and I didn't want to over-do it and undo the healing.<br><br>
I feel so happy right now. I love the woods.

6 miles on a glorious fall day - 70 degrees, very breezy.

Plan tonight called for a 8-15K dress rehearsal race.<br><br>
I did not find a race of that distance locally, so I opted for an individual time trial style run.<br><br>
I was only going to do 9 like I did the last time, but as I neared the end I noticed I had a shot at the 10 mile PR, so I went for it.<br><br><b><span style="font-size:x-large;">NEW 10 MILE PR TONIGHT</span></b>. Bested the previous 10 mile PR by 2:14. They were both run on the same course. Even better, the previous PR came when I <b>wasn't</b> wearing the CamelBak. Tonight I <b>was</b> wearing it, and I know that slows me down a little bit. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br><b>Run Segments<br>

Nicely done, eq! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

EQ is the man!<br><br>
Distance PR this morning on the distance that killed me back in the heat-wave days. I think that was definitely it because in the 60s this morning it was wonderful, but my legs got tight behind my knees around 8-9 miles and the middle of my back tensed up like the last 5 miles. That made it agony but I think I handled it as best as I could, hoping to improve on it next Saturday where I'll be doing it again...probably at least 3 or 4 more times this season.<br><br>
Oh ya...14 miles, 7:46 pace.

 

[GaRebelRunner]

5 mile run this evening. Nothing special, warmig up for Sunday morning's 20 miler at 4:30am.

 

[equinox marathon 43]

Alex,<br><br>
Sounds like you really sucked it up, and did a great job today! I hope I live to see the day when I can do 14 in 7:46! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

[Alex]

Haha...I am very pleased with my run EQ, my body just sucked. Thanks though. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">
