<p>Morning everyone, or maybe just Hawk, RA & Mom if its anything like yesterday..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rest day today.  We're going to a Memphis Redbirds game tonight (triple-A team for the Cards).  No work for a couple of days.  I'm going to try and get a little bike ride in today.</p>

<p>Yesterday I got in 8 miles and it was a nice run.  Just getting ready for church and then some Race car watching this afternoon. </p>

<p>Kevin and BBS - Enjoy the rest day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still icing here.  This thing as gone all round the knee.  I think we're on the last stop.  I'm just going to give it this week and then get on with it.  Have a great long weekend.  BBS, no work, cool!</p>

<p>Hi gang!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>RA</strong>, congrats on that race.</p>
<p>Hi <strong>vash</strong>. <span><img alt="hello.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy those rests <strong>BBS</strong> and <strong>Kevin</strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ran with <strong>loopy</strong> yesterday on the trails. He's alive and well! When he and the others left I went back out to explore some new trails, ending up with almost 13.5 hilly trail miles. This morning I met up with some other folks for around 8 miles on the trails, up & down the mountain. Hoping to get some more trails in tomorrow morning  before it gets too hot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great Sunday!</p>

<p>Kevin- enjoy your NASCAR nap, er race</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dan- Good luck starting her back up tomorrow</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jill- it seems as if the trail bug has bitten you as well.  I have not hit any trails in a little over a week and I'm feigning!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4.25 miles on the ol' hoopty bike.  One wipeout trying to ride a wheelie... no one saw.</p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - the last time I pulled a wheelie on a bike was... err... 25-30 years ago...  we did some really stupid stuff on our bikes, e.g. making Evel Kenievil ramps in the backyard.</p>
<p><strong>Jill</strong> - nice job on the trails!  Good to hear Loopy is alive and kicking</p>
<p><strong>Dan</strong> - wow, you really cracked your knee.  Fingers crossed for a return ASAP</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - enjoy the round and round before a crash.  Maybe DD will want to watch Cars again? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This morning I attempted to take DD out in the BOB for a recovery paced 5'er.  After 10 yards she was shouting "no running"...err... does not compute... does not compute....  So after walking another 1/4 mile I heard the rumble of thunder so went back home.  Perhaps she's just plain smart?   50/50 whether I'll get anything in this afternoon.</p>

<p>Hey aall...I decided to hit up the local track meet this morning. they do one every 2 weeks throughout the summer. Got there about 9:30 and ended up waiting 2.5 hours for my event (3000m). By the time it rolled around the temperature had gone up 10 degrees to 88. And I was tired from 13 miles of trails yesterday. Not to mention I'm really rusty at short distances right now. Turned out only 3 of us were running it and the other 2 guys were both young and way faster than me. I was well off their pace in 11:29. Funny thing is before the race I said I'd take anything under 11:30.<br><br>
Afterwards I put the Five Fingers on & jogged around on the grass for awhile. Between warmups, cooldowns and just moving to keep from getting too bored waiting to race...maybe 5 miles total?<br><br>
Anyway, now it's time to taper for North Face.<br><br>
Nice running all.</p>

<p>Brick workout this afternoon.  Headed up to the lake.  Still pretty chilly.  Last weekend it was 62* and with the cool temps, suspect it's still about the same.  Started off on the wrong foot by ripping the only two swim caps I had.  Wicked windy, so we opted to start into the wind.  Son1 bailed, saying he was too cold (did I not suggest we wear more than just shorts as last week we did really well with tights and long sleeve?!?!?!), while I continued on.  Had a terrible swim with goggles fogging and hair in my face.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quick transition at the van, then headed otu for a spin.  Uh, yah, still windy!  It's a loop course, so we did get breaks.  Uneventful 18mi.  Had hoped for a run, but decided I was done for the day.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>First tri of the season is next weekend.  Still undecided if I'm doing it or not.</p>

 

[RunAsics]

<p>Decided to go to the gym... it stopped raining when I got there.  Typical.  Anyway, 7 miles sweating on the TM when I should have been crossing training and lifting weights.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - Nice job on the 3k. My legs are burning thinking about doing that after a longish run.</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - you're either brave or crazy.</p>

<p>Hi folks, been a busy few days as I actually had an all-too-brief business trip to Hawaii and got back on a redeye yesterday morning.    My folks are in town for the long weekend for son1's b-day, and I wanted to get back quick.   Not much for me since Wednesday, but got in a 4 mile run Waikiki to Diamond Head and back at dawn Friday which was awesome.  Then a day off yesterday and 3-4 on the treadmill today at the health club while the kids played b-ball, with an interruption to ice son2's twisted ankle, which was not so bad he couldn't keep playing afterwards.   My dad and I are headed to a 5k tomorrow am and looks like it will be hot, yuck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dan</strong> - hope that knee starts coming around for you</p>
<p><strong>RA</strong>  - nice race yesterday even if sub-par for your high standards</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone else, great job getting in the miles, lots of 'em on the roads and trails for you guys this weekend!   </p>
