<p>Morning etc.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today was my last trip to give blood and run tests and I will be glad not to do the 120 mile round trip going forward. I will however be glad to get on with the training I have been missing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2 Easy days for me and I am pretty relaxed. 100km in less than 2 weeks so beyond dropping soem weight I cannot do much useful.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Take care</p>
<p> </p>
<p>G</p>

<p>Morning Gobi and those to follow.  I can't imagine you have much weight to lose.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happyfeat - I assume that is you in your avatar.  What a great smile you have.   It made me smile see your smile yesterday.  Where was the race from the pic?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Postponed morning run to this evening.  It was just black out early this morning and for the first time in a long time didn't feel safe in the traffic. Must be getting old </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not much else to report.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>carry on</p>

<p>Good Morning Gang,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went our after sun-up.  Beautiul day here - low 30's, sunny, no wind. Ran 8 miles with 5 x 0.5 mi intervals in the 7:30-7:12 range, 2:00 rests.  8:15 overall pace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remember to feed the fire, Gobi.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Heme.  Morton's is painfil!  I had a bout shortly after I bought a new pair of dress shoes.  They were too narrow so I ditched them.  Ever since I've had to use a gel pad under the forefoot to keep it raised above the toes. (I place it under the shoe insert.)  I haven't had that pain in 2 years now.  I hope you get relief soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Going back to yesterday's thread to fins a certain someone's avatar...</p>

<p>Hi Ks and Gobi</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another early start though I did hit the snooze for 20 minutes this morning.  I got a little ambitious on the speedwork last month so</p>
<p>I am staying at 2 hard days per week and today was one of them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2.46 warmup in 20 minutes followed by 12 X 90 seconds (5k pace) with 90 seconds recovery at moderate pace.</p>
<p>avg 6:15 on the fast parts and 7:47 on the recovery all at 2% incline.  (Hope that's worth 20-25 seconds/mile)</p>
<p>Finished at a nice pace to get 8.5 miles in 61:45. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Heme and HappyFeat.  I used to always be one of the last posters during the day so a little different posting every morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Mike,  Nice workout.  My last interval workout was 1/2 miles so I did 1/4 miles today.  I don't like to do the same workout too close together because</p>
<p>I try too hard to run faster.</p>

<p>Hello...<span><img alt="bunny.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/bunny.gif"> lunch time ...but ruined my appetite already with snickers and homemade St Paddy's Day sugar cookies someone brought in.</span> I already feel 10 lbs fatter! Now I <span style="text-decoration:underline;">wil</span>l have to run tonight even though I've got a leg ache. </p>
<p>Thank you for the compliment, KS<span><img alt="love5.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love5.gif"> That was taken in September after the Black Diamond HM here in a rural part of Washington.</span> It is the most beautiful course I've ever run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>It had been 5 years since my last HM and I was just about over my bout of ischial bursitis that I got in the spring training for a June HM. I was cautious with my pace,</span> and I ended up feeling I could do more. My avg pace was 10:20, although I would have been happy with 11 at the time! The thing with this bursitis is that I would relapse every time I tried to run faster. I continue to increase cautiously. My goal is to run this race again this September at 10 mpm.</p>

<p>Hi all & old KS too....a most appropriate name for the daily Gobi, as I'm quite tired too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had to go to town this morning, so I went to the gym, ran 7 miles on the TM, took until mile 5 not to want to just quit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good news on the old boy at your race over the weekend Heme.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I agree, that is a nice picture of you in your avatar HappyFeat...I don't know ischial (doesn't he play for the Mariners ), but I've had bursitis a few times in the past.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Root canal tomorrow, so I guess I'll call it a rest day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good running to all</p>

 

[Better than yesterday]

<p>I'm tired so I think I qualify to post here today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6.0 miles today including a just under 2.75 mile tempo run in 20:00.   Didn't quite rach my goal of 2.8 miles in 20:00, but I'll shoot for that next time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great evening, Masters.</p>

<p>LOL I'm 5ft 9 and weigh 170lbs !!!!!!!!!</p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>Hi Brian</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Never had a root canal.  Knock on wood</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heme's got a great big pretty smile too!!</p>

 

[Hemerocallus]

<p>Awww, KS, that's sweet! <span><img alt="blush.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blush.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Hi Gobi, Rip, Johnny, Mike, BTY, and HappyFeat</span>.</p>
<p>Nice speedwork, guys!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Johnny... sometimes you're the windshield... today you're the bug!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wasn't sure what the foot was going to let me do today, so selected a route after work where I could bail and cut back to the office easily.  Turned out I didn't need to worry.  With an extra metatarsal pad on the right foot and keeping off the hills, I managed to stick to the plan after all...... 6.2 miles.......with very little soreness.  I think I may need to invest in another pair of road shoes the next size up, as with the extra inserts they're feeling on the edge of too small.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one, everybody!</p>

 

[HappyFeat]

<p>Heme, that's great you've got a solution for your foot pain and had a good run today - hurray for that! </p>
<p>I agree with KS about your avatar photo - positively exuberant - I love it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Way to tough it out on the TM, Johnny. Good luck with your root canal.</p>
<p>I've never had one, but agree you should not run as that would probably make it more unhappy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good efforts today BTY, Rip, and Mike. </p>
<p>Let's hope we all have more energy tomorrow. <span><img alt="icon_sunny.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_sunny.gif"></span></p>
