Well, I've been MIA the past two days so I guess illl start us off today<br><br>
no run Friday(srd), and yesterday I decided to take a 'life' day to get caught up on some stuff<br><br>
so I'm having to attempt my long run this morning. Hoping for 18 miles. I left my freaking water bottle at home and only have one GU to my name. Allready 67* here and sposed to be windy. Not too concerned about time and paces today- just hoping I live thru it.<br><br>
Mom- good luck out there today!!

<p>Morning...</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - Hope you're able to tough it out.  That'll be a confidence booster.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm getting closer.  Almost symptom free and after a super long day yesterday didn't wake feeling anything but normal tired.  Fingers crossed!</p>

<p>Morning guys,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing on tap for me other than some soccer today. I had told the team I wouldn't be playing while in taper for NYC but then we ended up short on players today, so now I need to play. Do I worry about something bad happening? A little, but not once I'm out there playing. I'm not the type to get in a lot of those physical tangles anyway, not my game. I'll just play and make sure to do my stretching afterwards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The longish run planned for today will have to come off as BCOD Monday morning run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - hope the long run went well. Take some cash with you, at least if you do run out of fluids/gels you can make an emergency stop at a 7-11.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dan - glad to hear you are turning the corner, expect to see a run report from you tomorrow.<img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" title=""></p>

<p>Morning all, heading off to yoga to make it 3 consecutive days, which will be a first.   Fall colors are out in force, would make for a nice run, but should get to enjoy it outside with the kids later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - Hope you got your fuel and the 18 went well</p>
<p>Dan - Sounds like it's coming along, keep feeling better.</p>
<p>Hawk - Way to take one for the team... hopfully you'll be rewarded with a great run tomorrow!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Morning, peeps. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> -- Hope you can get some fluids somewhere on that long run?  River or creek?  Mud puddle maybe?  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dan</strong> -- Great news.  All fingers and toes crossed here. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> -- Careful out there, brother.  I might be nearly as excited as you are for NYC. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>zrun</strong> -- Been meaning to give yoga a whirl for years.  Must do that.  Enjoy your family later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Me</strong> -- Windy and rainy.  Hope things calm a bit so I can get out for ten.  </p>

<p>8.5 hilly trail miles this morning. Saw <strong>loopy</strong> as he finished his loop of the trail and we hung out and chatted for a while.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>vash</strong>, I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better!</p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>Good morning everyone.  Nothing for me today.  Just some rest and relaxation.  Have a great morning.</p>

 

[BigBuckSnort]

18 miles in 2:36. I had to stop at a crossing due to a car and stopped my watch at 15.69 miles, walked maybe 1/4 mi, stretched, then finished my run. Not great, but better than last week. Oh yea, did it all with no drinky... I know it wasn't too smart. I was feelin quite parched out there today. And if that wasn't bad enough.... I fueled up on a chocolate chip cookie dough pop tart for my pre run supplement...<br>

 

[zrun]

<p>Back from 90 minutes yoga and the scale says I am 6lbs lighter than when I got up this morining.   Seems crazy, but I did push hard and was dripping sweat pretty much the whole  time.   Time for lots of fluids.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Man, BBS, nice job with the 18; you gotta start fueling up the long runs, and definitely for recovery. </p>
<p>Chances - good luck getting the 10 in.  Good to see you are up to itafter the tri.</p>
<p>Jill - sounds cool, way to go on the hills.</p>
<p>Kfuller - rest up</p>

 

[Floridaboiler]

<p>Good afternoon,</p>
<p>  Yes I actually did a Sunday run at the BCOD today.  Plan called for 12 but I ended up at 13 miles with an 8:51 pace.  A few times I lost my concentration on my pace and I slowed down a bit. I should set my pace alert on my garmin again so it won't happen any more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice Runs everyone. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Glad to hear you are feeling better Vash!</p>

<p>So, 1st and last 10k of the year... went out way too fast, faded and finished with a foot race, pulling a kick out of my ass to hold of a few folks. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My official time was 38:44 for 19th OA and 5th AG.  My time was a nice surprise as I had low expectations.  I ran 38:36 last year and 37:58 in 2008.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Splits:  5:59; 6:18; 6:12; 6:18; 6:22; 6:20; 1:14. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The stretches running south were into the wind and my slowest splits but I was toast by 4 miles.  I was dropped by a guy who'd just run the 5k...  One guy passed me near the line and pushed me down to 5th in my division by 2 seconds.  40-44 is tough.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DW ran the 5k and got 2nd in her division with 21:48 (could be a PR).  She lost a sprint to the finish by 1 second.  Yep that gal was her division.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FB - nice job on the long run</p>
<p>zrun - the should have hot yoga on the Biggest Loser.</p>
<p>BBS - I take fluids and gels with me.  I may not have anything but I have them if needed.  Recover well</p>
<p>kfuller - enjoy the day of rest</p>
<p>Jill - nice job of the hills</p>
<p>Chances - get that 10 in. </p>
<p>Hawk - have fun with the soccer sprints.  Sorry about you Phillies.</p>
<p>Dan - finally!</p>

 

[4boysmom]

<p>Fail.  65* at the start, 77* at the finish, with full sun.  Just not in the cards for today.  I did get to see roots and SGH!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Okay, on what planet is it okay to step over a downed runner at the finish without asking if they are okay?  No, I wasn't. </p>

Boo! Hiss!  Hope you are OK.  Sounds Chicago-esque. Any chance of a make up marathon, as per my plan? </p>

<p>That sucks about the race 4bm.  It seemed all week like you'd get good weather- nice and cool.  You'd think a fellow runner would understand what you were going through at the end and not be a punk like that.  You're tough, you'll get 'em next time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For me, got a 16 miler in very very slowly.  WGN airing Without Limits right before I went out the door did not help the heart rate stay low...</p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>Except for the rain I think the running conditions here are just right.  For those of you with the hotter than warmer conditions it will feel like winter soon. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm-  Sorry to hear about the bad day and the hot temperatures.</p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>Sorry about the tough race days, 4bm and RA.<br><br>
Soccer was a bust from a team standpoint as we got crushed 7-0 That hasn't happened in along time. But very strong opponent, us missing a lot of our top players. Add it up. I got lots of running in on the field, that's for sure. Oh well. At least I got a workout in & stayed healthy.</p>
