Whoo Hoo! Nice job merigayle!<br><br><b>FloridaBoiler</b> - 22+ miles, that's awesome! And give yourself the faster pace (I always stop my watch if I have to stop for something like traffic).

YAY!! to the midnight runners [and all the rest of you FABO runners]<br><br>
me:<br>
Butts 'n' Guts--->no need to say more other than<br><br><br>
HO.LEE.SCHLITZ, that was one toughie. <img alt="toothy5.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/toothy5.gif"><br><br>
To top off the butts 'n' guts theme:<br>
Sis and her dogs will be here in an hour so we can head out and enjoy a perfect day out snowhoe-bushwhacking<br><br>
fyi for those who don't know--->we don't do trails/we bust our own in the lovely drifts. Much more fun, IMHO.

A midnight training run??? Talk about dedicated? 22.5 miles? Good heavens! Sounds like a marathon in the near future!<br><br>
A light snowfall last night, but temps are supposed to remain at or above zero for the next few days so we might actually start to see some buildings by mid week! I have never seen so much snowfall in a winter in my entire life!<br><br>
Running for me today....the adductor was feeling not too bad this morning so I thought my 15 miler might be back on again. However after about 40 min I felt uncomfortable in the right leg so I stopped at 60 min....5.55 miles. I ran 10 min at 5.3 mph, and increased by 0.1 mph up to 5.8 for the last 10 min. HR remained at or below 75%.<br><br>
Last fall we ordered a bunch of new equipment for our gym. The new fly machine and adductor machine arrived yesterday, so I gave them a try after the run. My adductor feels really good now, so the exercise appears to be all it needs to get better. I will continue to use it and maybe I can go more than an hour by next weekend.<br><br>
Heading to town today. Will be there overnight, so no run tomorrow morning. Maybe in the evening.

I broke the contract with my body again today and did a 4th day in a row. I normally take the day after a long run (usually the 3rd day in a row) off from running, but my body actually seems to feel better if I run a few easy miles the day after a long run.<br><br>
I did the run today because tomorrow is supposed to be very cold, and Tuesday is supposed to be warmer. I would rather take the really cold day off.<br><br>
I felt pretty good. My right glut is still a bit sore for some reason.<br><br><b>Run Segments<br>

No, I manage a mine in the remote coastal mountains of BC. We have a camp and our recreational facilities include a fully equipped gym.

 

[Grizzly]

Longest run in almost 6 years. 20.3 miles. Into the teeth of a Chinook, gusts over 30 mph. Black ice for 2/3 of the going until the wind sublimated it all. Bird pooped on my head.<br><br>
But I'm intact and none the worse for the wear. 3:18:30, slower than Florida! That doesn't count a pit stop at 8 miles but does count a 2.5 minute stop at the 18 mile point to replenish water and shed my belt.<br><br>
Not happy with the time, but hey...

 

[altoids]

Midnight run with meri and the gang. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> I did about 2 hours of it, what fun!

 

[equinox marathon 43]

Today is not the time you want to be happy with Grizzly. It's your marathon that you want to be happy with! Great job out there today. Now have fun dancing tonight.

 

[sierra]

Sounds like an wild ride to me! Isnt a bird pooping on your head supposed to be good luck <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"><br><br><br>
Just got done doing 50 min on the mill. Still taking some short walk breaks, but I can tell I am making progress again. Could feel the achilles a bit after about 20 min, but then it went away. Another ART appt on Friday so I will see what he says about how it all feels.<br><br>
But overall I feel good! And actually a bit motivated by the thought of doing that Tahoe 10k. <img alt="icon_bigsmurf.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bigsmurf.gif">

 

[tigger]

It was so nice in Smithers that I went for another run. Did 3.5 verrry easy miles outdoors in warm sunny, but windy conditions. I may try for another one tomorrow morning, but have to do it early as the boss want's to leave by 6 AM.

 

[movingon]

After some serious lack of motivation this morning, I got out at noon for a very fast 9 miles. I was feeling guilty about not doing the 12 I was supposed to do today so I ran my 9 mile loop in a course record 1:08.36. aye carumba, now it is taper week.

 

[Buxtehude]

Wow. Great run, despite the bird poop.

 

[altoids]

It took Grizzly's report being quoted twice before I realized I missed the bird poop part.<br><br>
I think I need more than 5 hours sleep. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

 

[jcumming]

Did another 5 miles today even though my quads and glutes were killing me after yesterday's run which was my first in weeks.<br><br>
Today it was on the tread while watching the Daytona 500...wow was it ever boring for about 2 hours and then really exciting for about 20 minutes. Why do they bother with the first 450 miles if you can win from anywhere, even a lap down.

 

[merigayle]

It was an unusually boring Daytona 500.
