Training Day Thursday - 05/12/11

Hemerocallus · May 12, 2011

Good morning Kicksters!!
 
I'm stuck in an on-line training session, on how to manage the new company training system. YAWN!!
 
Got in 6.4 miles of trailrunning/bushwhacking last night, with the speedy trail group. Thankfully 4 of the group stuck with me, since I was both the oldest and slowest there. Good times!
 
Will put in 4-5 after work tonight.
 
Have a terrific day everyone!

I figured you probably finished in the dark last night Heme. Did you wear a light?
 
Only running once today and will do that tonight. Plan is 7 miles between 8 and 8:30 pace.
 
Overcast here this morning and 30-40% chance of rain. If it rains I'm going out to stand in it. It's been so long since we've had rain here I'm not sure it can really happen.
 
'bout time for a Baba and Liam check in.
 
Since opie quit posting over here, he missed out on his opie bbq pic
 
carry on.

No, that's one of the tradeoffs to living a bit more north... we get a lot more daylight in the summer. The run was done by 7:30 and the sun didn't set for an hour after that. Erika will be getting far more light.

Nice runs, Heme and ks.
 
tw, I'm glad to read you're resting today. That was a big w/o yesterday.
 
Resting here too. Actually did a core and lifting w/o in the gym.
 
I think we've had at least some sprinkles every day for a week here. The constant overcast is getting to be a drag. I can't wait to complain about hot sunny weather.
 
Yeah, where is dat Baba and Liam?
 
Remember the posts we used to get from Mustang Sally and Sans Souci? Good times....

Oranges. I need to go buy oranges. I have apples, bananas, bagels (about to go pick them up), instant oatmeal packets, GU gels and Chomps, trail mix snack bags, green tea, peanut butter and Clif bars. Other people are bringing water and Gatorade. I figure I can get coffee along the road, and hot water for my tea and oatmeal as well. So it's only oranges that I'm missing. I think I'm ready.
 
Ragnar Relay New York begins tomorrow. Stress much???

Hemerocallus · May 12, 2011

Have a fabulous time at Ragner, Esther!! Sounds like you're ready!
 
Hi Mike! Hi TW!
 
Been feeling blah and achy most of the day, so cut my run back to only 3 ungarmined miles, very easy. No point pushing it. Think I'll sleep rather well tonight somehow.

ripvanracer · May 12, 2011

Recovery day for me too. Planning on a 15k saturday so I may take tomorrow off also.

ksrunr · May 12, 2011

Well it started raining about 1 this afternoon. Literally we haven't had rain since last Nov. so we really need it. Since I'm in "recovery" and it's so dreary out; I'm going to take a day off.
 
Heme - I thought you might be trail running in a forest where you might have light blocked that late in the afternoon. We don't have any trails to run in S. TX. We have to travel at least 2 hours and then the trails are in the "hill country" of Texas. Very beautiful but desert like. We have some trails in N, S, and E TX where they hold many trail races. I haven't run a trail race in probably 4 years; a 50 miler at Huntsville State Park.
