<p>Good Morning!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Out for a tempoish kind of run.  The first half was hard, but got easier on the way home!  6.3 total.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Short & sweet!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>Good morning Tempoish Pink!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 very easy miles for me today at 9:40 pace.  Just logging some miles and taking it easy after yesterday tough Tempoish workout.  Still kinda jazzed by that one ...</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday. Happy anniversary to CNY and her Mister and to Mariposai on their 25 yrs.  I had a terrific time at the Dylan/Mellencamp concert.  It was an outdoor venue at our brand new minor league baseball stadium. We had a little lightning and a splash or two of rain and then the most beautiful evening.  Lots of happy people and I smelled a few wafts of a very familiar substance swirling around us.    I am pretty sure Bob Dylan sang "Happy Birthday" to me but I couldn't quite understand the lyrics. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was going to run this morning but after livin' large last night I decided to sleep in this morning. Enjoy your day doing whatever you choose to do.</p>

 

[irunmike]

<p>Nice runs, Pink and Byll.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday was a perfect day for golf, Lab.  Sounds like you nailed it. I have to wait until Sat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was so psyched to run today.  I'm trying to be careful with this injury so after running Mon and Tues (total 9 miles) I took yesterday "off" and stayed on the elliptical and lifted some weights.  But today, I was gonna do 6 miles.  Imagine - all at once!  It was grand!  No pain, and zippy too.  (I prolly shouldn't have run so fast.)  8:15 avg pace.  And so far nothing is complaining. So I have that going for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy anniversary, Mariposai!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy the gift.</p>

<p>Dylan has really covered some ground on this tour.  He was just here.  Glad to hear you spent that $20 on your favorite herb, Choovie.  Congrats on your anniversary, Mariposai!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lifting this morning.  Moving up to 15 lb. dumbbells was tougher than I thought.  When I picked up an aluminum door at home to move it to the curb for big trash pickup, my left brachioradialis muscle was very unhappy with me.  Yes, I had to google that.</p>

<p>Nada for me today -- I showed up at physical therapy this morning at 7:15 only to find out I didn't have an appt for today.  D'oh!  So I went into work early instead and continued work on that stoopid grant, which is due tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meetings, meetings, meetings today but I'm looking forward to having Saturday and Sunday off from work and being able to run and spin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>enjoy your day everyone,</p>

[OrangeMat]

<p>Howdy folks! 5.5 miles in the cool moistness today. My hat was drenched by the end even though it never actually rained. Having some recovery watermelon now, yum....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Might go back out to the park with my running partner in a while, we'll see. Massage on tap for the late afternoon, man I'm looking forward to that!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a plentiful Thursday, everyone!</p>

The September issue of my Club's newsletter contains an "Ask Spareribs" column. Here is one of the questions I replied to:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">Dear Spareribs:</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">I often see you on your long runs wearing headphones.  Don’t you worry that listening to the same songs over and over again will make you start speaking in song lyrics? I mean, you’re a pretty articulate guy and as your friend I’m afraid you’ll let people down.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">Bob</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">Dear Bob:</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman';">You’ve got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend.  When I was down you just stood there grinning.  You say I’ve let you down. You know it’s not like that.  If you’re so hurt, why then don’t you show it?</span></span></p>

<p>Good Afternoon, folks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm still in non-running mode. Butt every day I see improvement. Today, I felt no symptoms at all really until I </p>
<p>jump out of the bed of a pickup truck (it was standing still) and I felt a solid twinge.</p>
<p>I'm going to run a mile on Saturday and maybe 3 miles downhill on Sunday if all goes well.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I saw mention of a "50s" group but I haven't seen it on Kickrunners in the forums.  Can anyone clarify for me?</p>

[Better than yesterday]

<p>Checking in on so many KR threads now, I thought I posted my morning workout here but I did not. So I will.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6:00AM  15:00 of stretching followed by 50 pushups and about 3:00 of very painful core work.  Man, the pushups just before the core - well, I guess pushups are core work - they are nasty. Not only to the core muscles, but the poor deltoids, too.  (May I please have some cheese?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>12:30 PM   I am following a half marathon program in training for my next two target races, which are a 7.1 mile hilly road race in October, and a relatively flat 15k road race in November. Today's workout was 2*2-miles at HM Pace.   McMillan says my HM Pace is 7:16/mi, so I gave that a shot. Mile 1 was too fast so predictably Mile 2 was slower, and I finished in 14:30, pretty much right on the nose.  On the second go-round, I did not allow myself more than the suggested recovery of a slow 800m jog- I probably should have rested just a bit more.  Mile 1 was 7:26 and Mile 2 was 7:35 - falling well off pace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Total of 6 miles including 1mi warmup, 4 miles at HM Pace, 800m recovery, and 800m cool down.   </p>

 

[mcsolar99]

<p>6mi ez at lunch, 8:15, 100f.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i realized that we're all slowly turning ourselves inside-out.  have had some blistered skin on my right foot during the past two days... but couldn't remember getting a blister there.  then today i remembered getting some deep feeling blistery stuff there back in june when running on the beach... 8 weeks ago.  so experimentally i conclude that the skin on my foot completely replaces itself every 8 weeks.</p>

<p>I would tell you, Susan, but I'm not old enough yet, so they don't let me in. Plus, I think you have to be running 50 miles/week to qualify.</p>

<p>My running partner wanted to try out the course for a local 5k she's planning on running on Labor Day. I agreed to run it with her TODAY, but gave no commitment for the actual race. So anyway, back out into the wet I went this afternoon. The route was kinda hilly and my hamstring wasn't the happiest camper at the end. Had I known there were hills I might've begged off. Regardless, now that I'm back from my massage, all affected body parts are feeling mighty fine. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>So yeah, another 3.5 miles this afternoon. Tomorrow morning I have a yoga-date with a friend, so it'll be good to rest a bit.<br>

Well I qualify plus some on the age part, but only if they dropped the "0" could I do the mileage part!  LOL</p>

<p>It dawned on me today, after choovie's birthday yesterday, that there are going to be four of us turning 50 next year all within a month of each other: Dove, choovie, Opie, and myself.  We may need to plan some sort of gala-extravaganza-thingy...</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/occasion14.gif" style="width:60px;height:40px;" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 miles this evening, including 5 x 800m intervals at 6:00/mi pace with a 3:00 jog.  And one mile barefoot.  I am getting closer to race shape, so I may have to find one after HTC.  If I survive.</p>

 

[Opie]

<p>What a great idea!  With a workout like that, I think you'll survive.  Bike ride for me but tomorrow I get to run!</p>
