14 miles @ 5:45 with a running group - Nice and slow and sociable. Legs felt very good after yesterdays effort.<br><br>
Temps are perfect these days - 50F - light to no wind.

Its a day of rest from running for me, but since my dd isn't going down for a nap, guess we're going for a walk.

Thats 5:45AM - 5:45 pace is currently not in my vocabulary <img alt="icon_compress.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_compress.gif">

I'll just lift some weights.<br><br>
One of my toes is hurting. Hopefully I can do my eight mile run tomorrow if it stops hurting.<br><br>

Happy sunny sunday, kids!<br><br>
Final day in my no-run rotation week:<br>
I was a sissy fairy with my pyramid weights today...upper body was tired/sore/worn out from other workouts. OY!<br>
Had to back off on the poundage and reps. Double-OY!<br><br>
Then I enjoyed [not really...it's too hot] the 75* temps while hiking [sloshing] the property with sis and the dogs.<br>
We spotted all sorts of migrating waterfowl, as well as signs that the GREAT HORNED is back!! YEEE-HAA! The sandhill cranes were very talky today.<br><br>
I bow down to you runners.<br>
Your strength and endurance boggle my little peanut mind!!!<img alt="" src="http://bestsmileys.com/wow/2.gif" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br><img alt="" src="http://bestsmileys.com/exercising/5.gif" style="border:0px solid;">

16 miles 10:00 pace<br>
cloudy, but mild, day in the park. Lots of people about.<br><br>
Fell in with someone who has been running the NYC marathon since the mid-70s. It was great to hear his stories as the miles melted away.

Alright, walked 3 miles around Lake Quannapowitt with my DD.

 

[equinox marathon 43]

That's great Ameythyst. Getting close to that 5K distance!

 

[Grizzly]

Hiho campsers!<br><br>
Well I'm schizoid, there's no doubt about it.<br><br>
18 miles, fastest I've ever done it. Very steady effort despite wanting to pull up from about 15 miles on. In fact, I just kept pushing and had one of my fastest miles as mile 17.<br><br>
2:40:57. It might have been more than 18, but I shaved .2 off of the total because I didn't trust the Garmin as it lost a signal on a pedestrian underpass and seemed to add some distance.<br><br>
Now here's the schizoid part. I should be happy, right? A good, solid 18 miler. But the Marathon pace is 8:00, not 8:50, and I'm beat and wanting to quit after 15 miles at 8:50? Yeah, I know I had a "race" yesterday and I should be thrilled with a solid effort. But.<br><br>
Paranoia is apparently a sign of marathon madness.<br><br>
*sigh*

 

[Flounder]

Grizzly - There is no comparison of what you can do fully tapered and for Marathon race day. That was a great effort the day after a race.<br><br>
Trust your training - A long run MP + 50 seconds is kick ass.<br><br>
4 recovery miles this afternoon for me - It was actually hot - I fear tomorrow I will have DOMS from Saturday - I may have to move the LAT workout to Tuesday.

5K race -- the Bull Run -- put on by my running club this morning. This time I ran solo (DH out of town) and ran a mile warm-up before the race. Finishied in 28:30, pretty good for me considering I'm just starting to get my miles back up again, and I had a tiring 7 miler yesterday. My goal was sub 30 minutes.<br><br>
It's nice to have the home court advantage; the course was on my regular long run route. And the running club puts on a GREAT race -- we had a yellow ferrari leadin gthe race, chip time, lots of swag and they grilled pancakes in the park at the end, in addition to bagels, fruit and donuts.

Hi! 7 miles on the trails. Awesomely mild weather, lots of mud and sparkling rivulets of water on the trail. I almost lost a shoe at one point!

 

[movingon]

Yeah, the trails are no longer iced over. Ran a mile warm up then 2 hill repeats, 1.6 miles up to the tower at Sleeping Giant State Park. So total miles was 7.4. I didn't time it but I finally felt good. Lots of mud and water, it was fun!
