<p>Good morning!  DH and I had a decent video spin class and are getting ready to take the doggies out for a short hike to our favorite little waterfall.  They will be ecstatic; we will be exhausted from their pulling on the leashes.  But we do enjoy seeing them have a wonderful time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy your day, everyone.</p>

<p>The usual hour on the exercise bike, hills program at level 9 which meant the power topped out about 261 watts.  I'll stay in unstructured workout mode through the end of Oct and then get busy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stopped by the pool up here last night.  It's about 10 meters long.  No really effective for IM training so I guess I'll figure out what dryland training I can do while I'm up here and go with the overload when I'm in town.</p>

<p>Steelers will be whuppin some Browns butt today!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a pleasant Sunday everyone!</p>

Enjoy the pups Susan! Sucks about the pool, mike. But you'll figure out some other workouts - upper body weights?<br><br>
About a 8-mile run this morning with a friend. Needed to go a little longer - 2 more ling runs before the HM, but I could have somehow gotten another 5 this morning if I had to and it was pretty hilly. Just be glad to participate in a race even if it's not a PR!! Happy beautiful fall day! Go Eagles!

<p>Ah...fall is finally here. A drizzly cool morning - perfect for a long run! Did 22 this morning at a very easy pace. It's a hilly route, but fairly scenic and makes an easy out and back. Felt pretty good out there, and feeling good now after my awesome new post-long-run-drink (milk, ice, avocado, agave nectar and a little protein powder in the Magic Bullet = YUM!). Wish I had come up with that on my own - stole the idea from someone. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>

<p>Our SGA had a 5k to benefit wounded soldiers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's the 17th of October and the temp at race start was 80 degrees.  Ummmm....yeah, right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, I ran with a plan to hang on.</p>
<p>For most of it, I was in FRONT of the entire Army ROTC battallion, but then they passed me going up a hill.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>34:03 (unofficial) -- not a bad effort, especially considering the warm temps.</p>
<p>I did find that it is VERY hard to slack off if the army is behind you talking about people jumping out of planes with boots on.  lol</p>

Mike, can you get those elastic things you hook to the pool? kind of like an endless pool. OR maybe get the company to buy a motor or something for the pool </p>

The elastic bands might be an option.  But the pool is a 25 min drive away from where I work and sleep and when I'm working 12 hour days that's hard to justify.  I will probably just figure out a dry-land training program when I'm up north and hit the pool hard when I'm at home.</p>
