aphigirl01 · Mar 24, 2007

14 miles this morning in 1:59:04. I felt great. Probably one of the easiest runs I have had in a while. The tempurature was perfect, low 60s, but it was pretty humid. The route was pretty hilly in spots, but I guess that's good for me. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I just popped in to see what aphigirl ran today. Inspiring as usual.

dg1 · Mar 24, 2007

Nice run aphigirl!!! 
6 very hilly miles with a training group. Started out in the 9 min/mile group but wound up with a 7:57 pace for the run. Pushed the uphills hard and took it easy on the downs. Felt good. Temp was a perfect 35 degrees with no wind. WOOOHOO Shorts!!! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
2 more with the DD after.

howdy do wow...great runs, aphi and dg! 
For me today, it was day 6 in my no-run rotation week. 
I can tell that the bod felt better compared to yesterday's exhaustion, cuz I was able to do the entire kickboxing workout [including plyo blasts and endless tuck jumps...OY!] + the leg drills at the end. 
I.wont.be.able.to.walk.tomorrow. 
in case anyone is interested, this is Cathe Friedrich...the fitness guru whose tapes I do. She is my gun role model. [and core, and legs, and back] 
This is the w/o I did on thursday. <img alt="icon_cheers.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheers.gif"> <img alt="" src="http://www.collagevideo.com/DVD-Covers/7445.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

Hanging Jury · Mar 24, 2007

12 miles on the tm today. This is a cut back week for me for my lsd run. I ran it at an 8m18s pace (just under 1h40m). I would have run outside but, I needed to stay close by to be here for DS if he needed me. I hit 50 miles for the week for the first time since last summer! 
Great runs DG and Aphigirl! WTPJ, I'm always impressed by people that can do classes/video workouts, etc. For whatever reason, I'm unable/inept, etc.

Grizzly · Mar 24, 2007

8.25 miles total. 
Plan called for a 8-15k race, but there being none available I ran 5.25 miles hard on the dreadmill after warming up. 
Pretended it was a race. 1.5% incline. Managed a 7:18 pace over the 5.25 miles, but it wasn't easy. 
Ah well, 18 miler tomorrow, gotta maintain some energy, right?

Flounder · Mar 25, 2007

Nice runs all - 
Today it was 44F and foggy at the start and 55F cloudy with a nice breeze by the end. 
When in training - I try to run 1 -30 or longer mile run every 4 weeks. Today was the day. I thought I would abort early on - it sucked and sucked and sucked some more - Not sure if it was the 5 beers last night or all the miles this week. There is a 7 mile route we run on Tuesday nights, so the goal was to run it 5 times. Each 7 mile loop felt better and better and better - to the point it was a shame to stop @ 35 miles, but I made a promise to be home by 1:00. The only gels I had were a mish-mash of what I have received in Marathon bags - 5 diferent kinds. 
Loop#1 56:30 
Loop#2 54:21 
Loop#3 53:42 
Loop#4 53:09 
Loop#5 51:18 
Total Run 4:29 or 7:41 pace 
Nice 6+ mile bike ride with my 6 year old when I got home - No rest for the wicked <img alt="drunken_smilie.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/drunken_smilie.gif"> 
Good running to all -

6 miles of hilly trails in perfect conditions, ran it hard against the clock and finished 7 minutes faster than the same route back in November. <img alt="bom.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/bom.gif"> 
Good runs all

Much better long run today. The legs felt a lot better than the last time I did the long run. 
I again tried to focus on form, but I did notice I was leaning forward when I was getting tired. 
I deliberately tried to push the pace during miles 4,5, and 6. Some of the other miles were all over the map on time. 
Gorgeous day for a run. Run Segments

Flounder- super run today. <img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif"> 
The Mad City 100km is two weeks from today. Why not enter? Date conflict? You're in shape for it, IMO.

roots · Mar 25, 2007

Today is three weeks from Boston, and I joined the group for an easy 23 mile run in the Cuyahoga Valley. A fun run with a mix of towpath (flat dirt trail,) roads, hills, and even 3 miles on a muddy technical trail. A mild 55F and muggy at 8am. 
23 miles total: 3:20 
Added 8mi road cycling this afternoon to loosen up. Whew, I'm pooped.

equinox marathon 43 · Mar 25, 2007

roots, flounder, I tip my hat to both of you...very nice efforts today! 
aphigirl01 - Too bad we didn't live closer to each other...your 14 miles today were about the same speed as mine first 14 miles. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

Flounder · Mar 25, 2007

Roots - Not in the shape I would want to be for thta race - I would not get satisfaction in just finishing the distance. 
My question for you - Are you running that race - I remember your 12 hour race total last fall - 
2 weekend from now is Easter 
I thought the race was next weekend

duckgeek · Mar 25, 2007

Nice runs, the whole lot of you. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Impressive times and distances. 
I'm just back in the door from my first longish run with 9.5 m.o. DD2 in the jogging stroller. 10 miles in 1:24:33 (8:27/mi). She slept the whole way, what a great kid! 
It was a nice relaxed run at sunset.

Amethyst · Mar 25, 2007

Rest day for me, though rest is relative when you're the mom of an active toddler.....

rhody92 · Mar 25, 2007

Great runs yesterday everyone! 
I did a 7K race and since it was the first 7K (that's about 4.35 miles for you Americans) race I've heard of, I got a PR! I didn't know what to expect for a time b/c my legs were a little dead this week, but I managed to break 30 minutes, barely. I probably could have done a little better, but I ended up running with a few friends who wanted to run 7-min miles. Of course, they had already run 16 miles and were going to do two more after the race to make 22+ for their last long runs before Boston....
