<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4 mile easy run early this morning. Very tired from hill sessions this week. Pace was easy but very, very slow. Hope to start springing back tomorrow so that I get back the zip by Saturday for the first mountain race of the series I did last year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day!</p>

<p>5 mile "tempo" today...</p>
<p>by tempo I mean that Rabbit set a foot-fall tempo and my job was to match it...</p>
<p>down and UP the hills.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>energy output felt even, but paces were consistently slower as the run went on.</p>
<p>We're thinking that my stride length is changing so that will be the next thing we work on.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[Tri-Tammy]

<p>Nothin for me today as my left hip is a little cranky! </p>
<p>The team is hosting an evening with Monique Ryan tonight.  She wrote Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes.... I'm really excited to hear her speak! </p>

 

[Dougie Fresh]

<p>I have a 4.2mi race around the Charles after work tonight.  It's the first in the annual "Let's Run" series that I've been doing since 2005.  Tonight's race, back in 2005, was my first ever race.  Then on Saturday I have a 5K, the Exeter PTO 5K.  This will be the first time I've ever had two races in the same week like this -- only 2 days apart!</p>

<p>Haven't been doing any workouts lately due to hamstring strain. Saw a sports doc and pt guy the other day and they gave me some stretching and strength building exercises to work on. It is starting to feel better. Hopefully I can return to workouts soon as I'm getting a little stir crazy. It is a good thing that I'm busy at work so that is filling in the time. I've withdrawn from a planned race this Saturday as well as the Mooseman tri in early June.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day everyone.</p>

[SpartyGirl]

<p>Well, I had to flip workouts - yesterday ended up as a run day, 1.6mi loop (I'm taking the gradual approach to becoming a runner).  Will try my hardest to get to dance tonight instead, but G-man just got sent home with a fever...</p>

 

[Stitcher]

<p>Something rather cool happened to me as I drove to meet with Lisa at the gym.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I saw a woman wearing a race shirt that looked awful familiar.</p>
<p>Turns out, she had on the same shirt that my secret santa sent me this year!</p>
<p>How strange is that???</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, cool, at the same time.</p>

<p>AM 1800 yard swim. Felt okay.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 miler (+/- 100 yards) - about 8:35-8:40 pace. Humidity sucked.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry about the hammy, KSurp. At least you haven't missed much weatherwise this week!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And good luck at the races, Doug...</p>

<p>This wet weather stinks.  Can't hit the singletrack as riding on soft/wet surfaces ruin the trail, as I understand.  Plus it was raining anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2400m swim.  I am not getting faster but a solid workout.  May ride a tri bike or hit a spinning class depending on the weather at about 5pm.</p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Failed to launch this morning, so will target the lunch hour for a 3-5 mile run.  Hoping to get a 30-minute trainer session this evening, too, but that is entirely dependent on what time my wife's sister arrives from out of town.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hi Folks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4 mile run at 6am then taught a noon Pilates class.  I have to bag Masters tonight in order to mow down the jungle in my backyard.  Oh well...if I don't do it no one will  <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

 

[cak73]

<p>Still raining.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did a short brick in the early afternoon with 15 min on the trainer and a 2.1 mile run. Early this evening I spent another 1.5 hours on the trainer. Was "this close" to heading out on the road when I decided to check the radar. Glad I guessed correctly that some rain really was headed my way and would be around during my ride. Bummer to be stuck inside on the trainer, though. Next week isn't looking too good either. I'll be house/dog-sitting for my friends on the Cape and I guess I'll have to bring my trainer along with my bike! Bleh. I do eventually need to get outside on the bike in some rain, but...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ksurp...hope you heal up soon!</p>

 

[hobey]

Just a bike commute. I had hoped to get a quick run over lunch but it was not to be due to my meeting schedule. Tomorrow is another day!

 

[Dougie Fresh]

<p>The rain stopped just before the race.  I surprised myself with an avg. pace of 9:59/mi over the 4.2mi race (41:56).  Given my lack of running lately (only 3x/wk) and being 20lbs heavier than last fall, I didn't figure to break 10min miles.  I am very happy with that result even though I really wasn't going for a particular result other than to run comfortably and the push it for the last mile to see how it all hangs together (or not).</p>
