Hi everyone.<br><br>
Day off for me today from running. I've run the last 4 days in a row.<br><br>
I hope you all have a good/safe run today!

First of two rest days in a row. Today I will do some housecleaning to burn off the extra energy! <img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif"><img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif"><img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif">

QuixoticNotions - Live and Learn - If you had relaxed and ran 10:00 the 1st mile, you would have likely ran 60 for the 10K - It is amazing to me I see the same people at local races - pull away from me the 1st mile and by #2 or #3 of a 10K I pass them as they fade.<br><br>
At least once a year - I seem to make the same mistake - but usually I am pretty good about pacing.

4 mile St. Pat's themed fun run with the running club this morning. 50*F and overcast - got the run in before the rain started.

Rest/recovery day from running. But I do have outdoor chores to do like pick up the lawn and mow the front yard.

great runs, and rests!, all<br><br>
I all too often run early splits quicker than I should. A friend paced me at recent half and it made all the difference. Hopefully I retained what I learned that day.<br><br>
14 miles in the park, 2 hrs 15 mins<br>
sunny, a mild 45 degrees<br><br>
ran in shorts for the first time this year!

snowshoeing on the property [likely the last of the season] in lousy conditions--->heavy & SLOPPY...thankfully, the sun was BRIGHT and smiling<br><br>
It was making us feel all warm and happy. <img alt="blob5.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blob5.gif"><img alt="love5.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love5.gif"><br><br>
oh, and I cut a massive bunch of red dogwood for my "spring" interior decor<br><br>
to those of you who make this running business seem fun and effortless:<br>
I'm <span style="color:#008000;">spring green</span> with envy.<br>
I live vicariously through your abilities.<br>
WHEEEEEE!

I really am a low tech type of guy, but I think these links will work for those of you who may wonder what I look like - These were @ Lakefront marathon 10/2005 - I was a clydesdale @ 206#<br><br><a href="http://www.asiorders.com/view_user_photo.asp?EVENTID=8890&ID=17393949&FROM=photos&BIB=353" target="_blank">http://www.asiorders.com/view_user_p...photos&BIB=353</a><br><br><a href="http://www.asiorders.com/view_user_photo.asp?EVENTID=8890&ID=17393806&FROM=photos&BIB=353" target="_blank">http://www.asiorders.com/view_user_p...photos&BIB=353</a><br><br>

16 miles in 2:12. A very tough day. The temps have risen to mid-60's here and I wasn't prepared to adapt.<br><br>
The first 4 were with the dog in the hills near my home. The next 12 were along the river, and by mile 12 I was baked. The last few were pure grit.<br><br>
I think I need to stop doing heavy leg presses now. My hip flexors and lower abs were just too tender and sore in the last few miles.

Well, I knew that I'd have one like today at some point. Really.<br><br>
This was bad. I was supposed to do 15 and bailed at 13.31 after having had to stop at about 12.8 and SIT for a while.<br><br>
I started out okay. First mile was a conservative 10:00 pace just to get warmed up. Into the Chinook, but it wasn't too bad. Second mile was 8:58, third 8:38, and I knew that though I was feeling okay I wanted to slow it down a bit, and so I did. 4 through 6 were 8:53, 8:54 and 8:43. Then somewhere in mile 7 someone turned the rheostat down. I just couldn't produce any "torque". 9:12, 9:20... At the 9 mile mark I went into survival mode. Everything hurt and I just wanted it to end.<br><br>
I was drinking enough, I think, but perhaps the Chinook was doing its dehydration number. Then again, I do have a cold. While I was feeling okay, no head stuffiness, I do have a bit of a cough.<br><br>
At any rate I decided that I wasn't gaining any benefit from just slogging through the miles, and in fact was beginning to feel ill. So I quit, took 5 minutes to sit in the sun, and jogged the half mile back to the car.<br><br>
Where I found that the battery was dead.<br><br>
Feeling sick. Dead battery. .4 of a mile walk to the Y for a phone and a toilet. I was moving like someone who'd just finished a marathon. Uck.<br><br>
Well, I'm home now and we'll just put that one behind us. Off day tomorrow and then the week from heck, culminating with a 22 miler next Sunday.<br><br>
Better now than then, right?<br><br>
See you all in the funny pages.

Sounds like you had a tough one. At least you got out there and did it. Nice job!<br><br>
Hope your next one is better.
