7.5 very sticky miles this morning. I tried to push it a bit and came in under an hour. This is the first time I've run before work on back to back days.<br><br>
Have great days everyone!

 

[sistergoldenhair]

rhody, as hard as getting up and out can be that early, it's so nice to have the workout in and get that energy boost for the day.<br><br>
I was an early bird this morning, too: Taught spinning at 5:45 a.m. I sure kicked my own butt so hopefully the students got a good workout, too. I was pouring sweat. After class I went up and ran for 20 minutes on the treadmill easy ~2.25 miles.<br><br>
So I guess I did a brick workout today!

Well tonight is 3 or 4 400s that I will just do at race pace so 1:20. Not anything harder than that for me tonight, then maybe a quick jog. Tomorrow is complete rest for Saturday. I hope this mini-taper helps this tired feeling go away.<br><br>
In the summer morning workouts are my only chance for something quality with it usually being in the high 80s when I'm on break for work, and I don't think'd I have the energy for a workout by nighttime. Nice job you 2!<br><br>
Have a great day everyone!<br><br>
Alex

Hey, who turned on the hummidity switch?<br><br>
6 miles, 8:40 @ 5:30 AM<br><br>
great run, feeling good for the first time in a while

 

[Lofcaudio]

No kidding about the humidity. My run turned into a sweaty mess. I ran 8 easy miles around the nearby park. I've got a race on Saturday and I'd much prefer cooler (and less humid) conditions.<br><br>
Have a good one.

 

[jebba]

Sounds like everyone today is kicking ass and taking names! Great workouts.<br><br>
55 minutes of yoga. I'll run a couple of miles this afternoon.

7 @ lunch.<br><br>
The run had 2 parts. Nice 8:27 pace the first half. Thunder and lightning in the distance and closing at the turn. 7:24 pace for the second half.<br><br>
Both halves felt good!!!<br><br>
Everyone have a great day!!!

Are you and the team coming down to Madison tomorrow for the MASSIVE Monona Grove invitational?!?!?!?!<br><br><img alt="headbang.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/headbang.gif">

 

[Doctor Wu]

Off day from work today. Did some errands, then bought some new Mizuno Inspires and tried them out on the VCM course:<br><br>
11.6 miles EZ. 90 degrees, sunny, humid and calm. 8:37 pace, so I guess I'm making progress because I felt slower than that.

 

[Alex]

Nope sorry, we never head that far away...we usually stay within the conference/county. Also we have our Conference meet on Saturday and I'm guessing that's when that invite is?<br><br>
Easy practice with 3 400s that I decided to take a bit easier and run at 3200 pace. 1:21, 1:21, and 1:19. Hoping to get an easy run in later, but may not since the whole shoe issue, so maybe some indoor biking.<br><br>

Hi all,<br><br>
The hot stuff continues today. We were over 90 degrees for a time today. Struggled a bit with the heat.<br><br>
Not sure I'll get my run in tomorrow, I have to go to my nephew's confirmation. Maybe I can get it in tomorrow night after the confirmation.<br><br>

Ok. Add two uninspired miles in 21:53. This is turning out to be a tough week.

 

[altoids]

Thunderstorms and one hour on ye olde treadmill. My knee that I fell and scraped on Tuesday was bothering me more than I realized. <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif">

 

[bootsie]

Ran for the first time today since Mid-March. I think (i.e. hope) that my stress fracture has finally healed. It's a little sore right now - but nothing that I can't handle. Ran 3 miles and actually ran into one of my good friends while I was running - which is always a plus. It was MUCH more humid outside than I was expecting. Then tonight, my volleyball team had 1.5 hr practice. We're not any good - that's why we practice <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

 

[roots]

Nice Giggly, way to go. Baby steps.<br><br>
Tonight was very pleasant, yet humid out. About 75F at 6pm.<br><br>
Cycled 9mi to the trailhead, ran 6.5mi on trails, then cycled (the long way) home 12mi (21mi total.)<br><br>
Recovery going faster than expected, which bodes well since there is little remaining time. Goal race in 5.5 weeks.<br><br>
Friday planned rest day.

 

[Gingerbread]

{{{altoid's knee}}} I hope it heals soon!<br><br>
I tried to run 5 miles yesterday, but the heat, humidity and a blister on my littlest toe helped me walk. A lot. I feel bad about that, but the pain of the blister was rather bad. I think it's just in the wrong place. What's the foot book again? I think I need it.
