<p>Morning all.  I had a good run in the park.  A bit of a chill with mist rising over the lake. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I stated late yesterday I was happy to find Hal Higdon's 10k plan to give me scheduling ideas for my workouts.  It gave me some good ideas to bring all my workouts together in a weekly plan.  I'm excited to have two days devoted to my bike.  I like my new bike and really wanted to actually use the thing rofl.  His plan is a good one, spread out over six days and incorporating running, cross training, cycling and stretching (will substitute pilates).  Last night I wrote out on my April calendar the full months worth of exercising culminating with the 10k at the very end of the month.</p>

<p>Morning gang -</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dang, that sounds like a tough week of running <strong>Mindi</strong>!  How long is your long run this week?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did 8 x 300meter hill reps mixed in my run this morning and thought I was going to die.  Even after my 1.5mile sloooow cool down and 10 minutes of stretching/laying-on-the-ground, I was still breathing heavy.  (The workout called for 10 reps, but I cut it short since I am technically still ramping my mileage back up).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs to all today!</p>

<p><strong>Brandy</strong> - what's up with <strong>The Shoe Whisperer</strong>?  I called to make an appointment (my shoe is now discontinued, which is fine cuz I think I need something different anyway) and they said, "we still can't say for sure when we are able to schedule with her"  They made it sound like she's out and like I should have known she's out.  They encouraged me to come in and get fitted with them and said, "she's taught us alot so we can all do fittings too.  We're not as good as her, of course.  But if you need them now, come in".  I need them now and don't know how much longer I can wait.  Should I just go to one of them or wait for her?</p>

save Omaha for another year and I'll do it with you.  (Can't this year - I'm already signed up for Twin Cities)  I went to college in Omaha and have looked at going back for that one.  I know nothing about the course, but I know where all the good bars are.  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>

Um.. well, she's out for a while and it is unknown when she'll be back.   </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I were you, I would just go in now.  Last timeline I heard was May sometime.  They probably acted like that because they originally were WAY to open about why she was gone.  She must have yelled at them.</p>

<br><br><p>I found a pair online and ordered them, but I'll also go get fitted for new ones.  Yes, it was really weird - it was almost like they thought I was someone testing them to see what they would say?!  Well whatever her deal is, i hope she is ok and back to normal soon.</p>

I could do that.  I've done a few marathons in <strong>random</strong> cities where I was by myself all weekend, and I've found it always more fun to know someone else there.  Especially someone that knows the good bars.  <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130161067644843"><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130161067644842" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>   And it's certainly not like I have my heart set on Nebraska this year.  What school did you go to in Omaha?  Creighton is there, right?  I don't thnk I know of anything else.  Is that it? <br>

I don't like that time of year down there.  Definitely has the potential to be way too warm for 26.2.   Yes, I went to Creighton.  Ages ago.  I'm sure I'd look creepy hanging out in the college bars!</p>
