<p>Loaded the kiln this morning and then only had time for 3 miles. Supa humid here.</p>

<p>Well, I wish I could tell you that I was so inspired by yesterday's discussion that I woke up early, hopped right out of bed, and went for a nice long swim this morning....  but that would be a big fat lie.  No swim -- again -- this morning.   Now I have to do mile repeats and a swim tonight. </p>

<p>I got out for my first double in ages last night.  It was a beautiful night and the kids had lax practice, so I went out for 5 and then met them at the fields.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But on my morning run today, my right shin felt splinty.  Me no likey.  I think it's still the shoes.  After having issues with the redesign of the Mizuno Wave Rider (which I've been wearing since 2007), they fitted me into the Brooks Ghost (3?).  I don't think there's enough cushion in the forefoot.  I think I need to find some inserts soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2 weeks until VT City!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2oh</strong> - My cousin did the VT Tough Mudder last weekend, the day after his college graduation.  My unlce said he finished under 3 - so he was happy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Zumba after school - woot!</p>

<p>I got 8.5 miles done this morning, with 5 of them at tempo.  Whee!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs to all.</p>

 

[Brandy]

<p>morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>did 7 miles last night - temp was better but it was still pretty humid.  I opted to sleep in this morning.  TC 1 mile tonight.  Man, I hate mile races.  I suck at speed.</p>

 

[Runninlaw]

<p>Nice morning runs!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got out for 5 slow, fabulous miles.  It was humid, but in the mid 50s.  So nice to be running in the daylight so early in the morning too!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2oh</strong> - are you doing Tough Mudder?  I guess I need to go back through yesterday's posts.  I am doing TM Wisconsin in July.  I am so excited about it and a wee bit worried.  I hope there isn't too much swimming involved or I may just drown.  And the monkey bar type things - yeah, I've got some work to do. </p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Nice runs last night and this morning, folks! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck with the mile, <strong>Brandy</strong>.  I've never raced a mile, but I know what you mean.  I almost think 5ks hurt more than marathons because you're pushing youself to the limit just about the whole way.  Last Summer I "raced" a mile on my own just to see how fast I could do it, and it hurt like hell.  I'm thinking I may actually try it again this year to see where I stand.  This is just on my own at the track, so it's completely unofficial. But at least it lets me know where I stand...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyhoo, last night I did almost 7 miles of hills.  I think I'll take the day off today.  I could use a rest day...</p>

 

[missy1102]

<p>hello friends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i did 25 mins on the elliptical last night because my left knee is feeling wonky and i don't want to eff anything up before my 1/2 mary this weekend. i've worked too hard to get where i'm at...</p>

 

[solarpowered]

<p>I'm swimming tonight -- Second week of the OWS sessions!  I hope the lake is a touch cleaner than last week.  I didn't mind the cold, but I'd like some of the muck to be gone.  I'll shoot for a mile again.  Maybe more.  We'll see.  They are also setting up bike racks so we can practice transitions.  This is a really cool series of OWS sessions that my friend (and <strong>Beaker's</strong> old coach) is running.   </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll probably do a short bike ride after work before heading down to the swim, just in case I decide not to take the bike tonight.  I kinda wanna focus on the swimming part right now. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> - which HM are you doing?  I think I missed that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[Ailarie]

<p>Greetings, all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have 3-5M on tap for after work.  I actually had my alarm clock wake me up at 5:15am, but when it went off, all I could think of was "you gotta be kidding me....", as I quickly reset it for an hour later and returned to slumber. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just found a half marathon in the metro Atlanta on June 18th.  Part of me thinks I"m NUTS for considering a half that time of the year.  We've already  had two 90 degree days.  Part of me knows that I don't have another half until October, and since it's close enough to drive - I am considering it.. Hrm....</p>

 

[clare]

<p>Missy, you've got a half this weekend?  Awesome!  You'll do great!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I just found out there's a 5k and 10k race this weekend in Cheticamp (a French community north of here, on the ocean).  Prizes are lobsters.  I'm thinking I may have to venture on up there for that!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just over 2 weeks til the Cabot Trail Relay.  I've been running a lot, getting lots of hills in.  But I'm still not totally ready for the killer that is North Mountain.  I hope I can finish in a respectable time!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hills today in the rain.</p>

 

[phdatc]

<p>I've got a swim later this afternoon and probably a bike ride as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> - so great to see you back to racing!!  Break a shoelace!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ailarie</strong> - I say go for it!</p>

 

[KP]

<p>5.1 humid miles this morning...really glad spring decided to completely flake on us this year and let summer move right in. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Forecast for the 25k on Saturday is ideal temp wise but with a 60% chance of showers...do not want to run in the rain.</p>

 

[runningINnyc]

<p>Afternoon all!  Yesterday's early morning caught up with me and today's run will have to happen this evening, including a 2 mile time trial ...PAIN!   <span><img alt="icon_pale.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_pale.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Shannon</strong> – nice work on the double!   Remind me, are you running the HM or relay at VT?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice tempo, <strong>Cindi</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Brandy & boB</strong> -  I’d wayyyy rather run a mile race over a 5K, the latter is like a mile race x 3 aka 2 mins of oxygen deprivation (<strong>Missy</strong>! <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span> )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hiya <strong>Dan</strong>! <span><img alt="hello.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Colleen</strong> – how many legs will you run in the relay?</p>

It's probably going to rain on me for Saturday's 10K too, if that makes you feel any better. </p>

<p>I have never had full on collapsing tunnel vision in a 5k nor a trail of spittle down the side of my face with no desire/strength to wipe.  Sadly in a mile race, I have.</p>

<p>Allergy season is turned up to 11 right now.  *hack* *cough*</p>

<p><strong>Maria</strong>, just one leg in the relay.  I'll be lucky to finish that one!  Mine is Leg 9, here's the descriptions:</p>

<p>Oof.  You guys are making me tired just reading about these races and trials. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elliptical & Little Miss Evil for me this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Starting to panic slightly about the HM next weekend...9 days out, that's about right!</p>

 

[NCRG71]

<p><br><strong>Maria</strong> - DH and I are doing the 2 person marathon relay at VT.  I applied via the lottery to support my sister who had registered for the full, but she has since deferred for a year and now it's just us.  This is DH's first real race other than a couple 5ks <em>many</em> years ago.  I fully realized that when he was asking me about how to handle water stops.  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span><br>
