Bored at work, so I figured I'd go ahead and get the thread started.<br><br>
Internet ate my post yesterday, ran 3 lackluster TM miles. Still havnt figured out why I went from really good runs to crap all of a sudden.<br><br>
I am going to actually be off work till Tuesday night, some I'm gonna start it off with a 12 mile trail run this morning.<br><br>
Good luck out there.

<p>Ug...  feeling like total crap this morning.  And I'm supposed to race.  Not sure how that's gonna work.</p>

<p>Good morning BBS and 4bm.  I got in a nice 5 miles in 44:09(8:49).  Now I have to put a training plan together that I can start next week.  Have a great morning.</p>

<p>14.5 miles.  WIndy and 32F, which was nice on the way out but tough returning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - race? Good luck with that</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - it happens</p>
<p> </p>

<p>BBS - Time off work? An anamoly?</p>
<p>4boys - So, did you race?</p>
<p>Kevin - Back to training eh?  First race?</p>
<p>RA - Nice going on the 14</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing from me. Three weeks on the dark side.  Back to the doc Monday or Tuesday for blood work.  Have a great weekend.</p>

<p>jebba-It looks like it would be a great campus, but the only time I ever see it is in January for this meet, so I'm not exactly sure.</p>
<p>John as per yesterday-not even close...I'm still a slug compared to where I dreamed I'd be by now when I was younger. I feel like if I trained with you and Rob and CMJ, you guys would not be far off at all, except for repeats. And bloody nice run mate!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Opposite of John's run...out into the wind, felt sluggish, felt much better on the way back. 82mins, definite negative split.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great weekend all!</p>

<p>Good afternoon all, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I slept in this morning, figuring I'd wait til it warmed up a little but 33 looks to be about as warm as it will get today. I think I'll do the trail loop (not quite 12 miles) again, just like last weekend. Streets around here are still not safe for runners - snowbanks piled up high onto sidewalks leaving you 1-on-1 with nutty drivers. And I've got YakTrax so trail it is. But I bet it will be slow going on the the trail anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice running out there so far. Good job on the long runs RA/BBS/Alex. Nice 5 kevin. And 4bm I hope you found that racing mojo sometime before the gun went off. Rest up Dan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Time to go run or least stumble through the snow.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Had a decent race.  Just a 5K.  Course was much the same as last time--"plowed" gravel path still snow covered, grassy areas broken packed snow.  I felt raced better today, however, only managed to snag 3rd AG.  Son1 joined me today, and he, too felt he had a good race.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>After the race, we did a quick change at the van and headed out for a spin.  Although it was in the low 30's, the wind was brisk and it was cold at the start.  Decent little 18miler.</p>

<p>Hi, gang.</p>
<p>   Three miles of stop-and-go today. Been a tough week. Two snowstorms to dig out of, kids constantly home to care for, precious little time for running. Sucks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs, all </p>

 

[BigBuckSnort]

<p>Mom- Congrats on the hardware. Medal?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I feel like afternoon of the living dead... waiting on DirectTV guy to come hook-up satelite in the man-cave... sposed to be here at 1... yea, its after 4:30.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Run went decent today, good point was my shins didn't hurt (other than a left leg shin splint...).  I almost got tackled by a deer too.</p>

 

[jebba]

<p>Hey eveyone.  Sounds like a pretty successful day, running-wise.  Baba, I've had some snow-day homebound kids recently, too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday we never did manage our p90x workout, so we moved everything back a day and did it today.  Then 6 easy miles.</p>

 

[4boysmom]

<p>BBS--no medals for this budget race.  $20 for two races.  I did get a hat out of the deal though!</p>

<p>Here's son1 coming into the finish--</p>
