<p>Small local 5K this morning. Ran well and managed to hang in there for 6th overall. Could have passed a kid in the last 20 yards, but thought it would look tacky.</p>

Hola...<br><br>
18 mile extremely solid run early this morning with a bunch of others. Broke away with two dayside, one of whom is a sub-2:30 marathoner and a 1:09 half guy, the other a sub-3'er. You can guess who did the pacing. Run went like this:<br><br>
WU - 3 miles @ ~7:45<br>
5 miles @ 6:39<br>
1 mile jog<br>
6 miles @ 6:20<br>
2 miles jog<br><br>
Total distance worked out to be near 18.<br><br>
Was tapped out running full stride for most of this. Felt great to hang on like that.

<p> </p>
<p>Did a 30-minute ride this morning to loosen up for tomorrow. Feeling good about the switch to the du, looking forward to the 9-11 tribute ceremony, and ready to hammer the course.</p>

Nice run boys!!<br>
Good luck Jen!!<br><br>
13miles alone with the first few miles in pouring rain. Flexor or something is bothering me <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">. Boy, it isn't good when 13 miles feel that long/laboring....<br>
Oh I swam 2500m right before that. And didn't have time to eat other than a banana all morning. I was shocked to see having lost 3lbs from swim/run in spite of 2 bottles of water. 20mim yoga.<br>
Decided not to do mtb race tomorrow. Boohoo...

<p>40 mile ride with local cycle club.  Great weather and an awesome ride.  Only one dog encounter and one freakishly aggressive squirrel... <span id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315694130737_14"><img alt="rolleyes.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_0_10_1315694130737_13" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Yoshi - no race b/c of the hip? I hope you heal quickly!!!</p>

 

[SpartyGirl]

<p>Good job all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yoshiko - I feel your pain!  Hope you heal quickly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Decided to do some good stretching/resting today...attempting to go long tomorrow.  Think happy thoughts for my right leg. <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"></span></p>

 

[jenotter]

<p>Hang in there Sparty!!!!! Hope it goes well tomorrow!</p>

Jen - not because of the hip. The weather has been so wet and I haven't ridden much and I have no confidence to deal with mechanical isssues associated with muddy conditions. So decided to save $$.<br><br>
Alicia - good luck tomorrow.
