<p>Good morning, LIT NATION!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6.5- mile run early this morning with Andyman and the Diesel. Beat the rain by, oh, about, ummm... one minute.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Make it great!</p>

<p>Buenas Dias!  I did not beat the rain this morning, but thankfully I didn't have to do my running in the AM.  It was off to the pool at 4:30AM this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>AM:</strong>  5:15AM and I was swimming, the first time in about a week that I was able to get in a full session, 3,400m.  I felt pretty good, but I did tire a little bit at the end of the main set, the result of my really trying to push it.  It may sound stupid but I was really happy with my cool down (300m), I swam relaxed and easy and did it in 6:08.  That is a good sign for my upcoming HIM distance race and IMAZ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">500m wu, 4 x 100m drills, 6 x (50m+100m+150m) @20sec, 8 x 50m drills, 300m cd</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>PM</strong>:  After work, I have to drop my daughter off at her Brownie meeting, then I am going to be spinning in my basement for 1.5 hours, hopefully watching the IM Louisville coverage that I DVR'd (gotta love Bree Wee).  Thinks are getting back to normal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope everyone's day is filled with rainbows....heck with all of the rain here on the east coast, there is bound to be a rainbow at some point one would think.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Corrected my not so good grammar.  Thanks Mister BANNON!]</p>

<p>2500yd straight swim for me this morning.  Felt like I was taking it easy, but times were much faster than normal.  Broken down by 500's, it went as follows.  Must be some frustration energy in there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7:22.73</p>
<p>7:28.59</p>
<p>7:30.00</p>
<p>7:29.34</p>
<p>7:29.01 for a grand total of: 37:19.67</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Rest day for me.  And as usual when I take an easy week, my body (specifically the hips, in this case) is unhappy about it.  Crazy.</p>

<p>while we beat the rain this morning it did not feel like we did since it was so muggy.  4+ miler from the Y.  When we stopped to drop one of the group off she looked at her watch and it dawned on her why it was a tougher run as we were faster than normal.  we had not even realize that we had been pushing the pace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DD says she sees Thor on the roads so I told her to beep to him and she said no.  Have to teach her the friendly beep beep and told her that he enjoys it, espically when it is a trash truck.</p>

<p>I had a nice ride this morning of 26+ miles.  My buddy hit the expansion joint in the bridge and blew out his tire and put a flat spot in his rim.  I guess it is a good thing to have training wheels so it won't be too expensive to get a new wheel.  It could have been a whole lot worse.</p>

 

[SpartyGirl]

<p>I'll do something today...it may just be core work though, unless you count MAJOR housecleaning.  The dog and cat have become infested with fleas so DH and I are in a frenzy trying to get rid of the stupid parasites.  Vacuuming everything daily and doing obscene amounts of laundry. <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif">  Poor fur kids.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On an even suckier note, found out when I came in today that a student committed suicide.  I didn't know him, but the whole thing is just tragic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>blah.</p>

 

[Boyerdavea]

<p>Sorry to hear about the student, it is so sad to hear about such a loss.  My prayers go out to the family and friends.<br><br>

<p>Nice... I love when women honk at me. No harm there. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"><br>
 </p>
<p>Does she normally see me when I'm running with others or out solo? If I know the car/van to look for, I could spot her. I have a loop that I've been doing on Friday's (though I am done with that workout probably for the season) where I go down Haverhill, around the lake, and back on Haverhill. I see the same people (them in cars) each time because I leave at the same hour. So I have people (like Frank R., Bob S., Lori T., Steve, etc) who see me each time. Most are good about the honking, as they are all runners themselves. I know where to look for each of them. Kind of funny.</p>

<p>1 hour ride at lunch today - didn't get wet, but sure was windy out!!  Managed to not get pelted with acorns either!  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>

<p>Good afternoon,</p>
<p>We had torrential rain here and it took me 1 hour 47 minutes to get into work today (usually 30-40 mins).  When I got in, I heard there was a fatality further down on the same road I travel.  Then I felt insensitive about complaining about how long I had been in the car (with a full bladder, no less).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Obviously that put the kabosh on my morning workout plans.  It's really something here - like the end of the world - heavy rain, wind whipping around, flooding all over.  I'm going home a little early and will snuggle up with my dogs today, and start fresh tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sparty, do you use Frontline Plus?  It has worked great for us with our animals.  GL getting rid of the fleas; they're such nasty critters.  And so sorry to hear about the student suicide; seems to always happen around exam time.  Truly depressing.</p>
