Pink · Aug 3, 2010

Good Morning!
 
Decided to make it Tempo Tuesday. It felt hard and my breathing was loud - I wonder if I woke anyone running by their house this morning <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif" title="">
 
.5m wu, 5 mile in 37:22, .5 cd.
 
Enjoy your day!

breger1 · Aug 3, 2010

I thought only I sounded like that Pink.
 
6 easy miles which were harder than they should have been due to the humidity. My 6x1Km tempo repeats tomorrow ought to be a real wet, sweat fest. Can't wait!

...nice sloggin' pink//........and Burger gets the Humidity Award.......
 
 
26min poolrun last night,
 
kinda reminded me of
''Tommy'' by The Who...............people kept asking to share lanes and then vanished
 
between
the earplugs and fogged goggles
I'm in another world of muffled sounds and fuzzy visuals

I was sleeping pretty well until some lady in pink ran by my house and woke me up with her loud breathing so I got up and ran 3 miles. (For Breeger: 65 deg, 48% humidity). I have a kayak lesson on the lake after work tonight. Pretty excited about that.
 
That's a great oldie, TW. DH and I have been watching some old <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdCrZfTkG1c&feature=related" target="_blank">Freddy Mercury/Queen</a> concert footage lately and loving it. The teeth...the white hotpants... I miss Freddy...
 
I've enjoyed hearing about the relay fun.
 
Enjoy your day, everyone.

Grrrrr.

riley0003 · Aug 3, 2010

It's pretty hot & humid here too. I had PT this morning and now my hips are achey, achey, achey. Time for some vitamin i. I didn't have time to ice the hips after the session and I'm paying for that now! 
 
Did anyone catch the NYT article about infections caused by gym apparatus? <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/03/health/03brod.html?_r=1" target="_blank">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/03/health/03brod.html?_r=1</a>
Pretty sobering. Be sure to wash your hands, mats, and other equipment! DH snickers when I spend a lot of time wiping down the spin bikes but now I feel vindicated.
 
Enjoy your day everyone and run a few miles for me. I'm on tap to hit the treadmill tomorrow morning (would do outside but it's supposed to be extremely hot & humid).

Choovie, those numbers do inspire some jealousy. Nice "Grrr" Bill!
 
4 hilly miles at easy pace. Felt pretty good. Spareribs

gobi · Aug 3, 2010

We are starting to see Autumn temperatures. I needed a Gillet and boot covers on the bike this morning.
 
Run at lunchtime was nice at around 7mm for 6.5 miles and no drama
 
I also signed up for VRAA
 
:¬)

Hemerocallus · Aug 3, 2010

No such coolness here... it's the Great Sweaty North...... 29°C (that's 84.2°F for the Celcius-challenged) and 70% humidity.
 
That's going to make the tempo run after work very interesting. Somehow I don't think I'll be as fast as Pink!<img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;" title="">
 
Susan, that's a good reminder!

OrangeMat · Aug 3, 2010

Run #1 is finally done. 3.1 miles in the park, started out nice and easy for the first mile (10:20 pace) and upped it by half a minute for the remainder. Since I always run by feel, it's interesting to notice what paces my body tends to settle at when I'm not trying for anything in particular (and when I'm not injured!).
 
Run #2 will be with the masters group this evening. As long as we don't do sprints, I should be fine.

Enjoy your day, folks.

since my mittens are still packed away, i just did 3 ez on the treadmill.

Yabut, you've got like 30% humidity, eh?

No, 30% is considered very high in AZ. They're usually in the teens. And I would agree that high Humidity is the worst to run in. However ....
 
Running in 100+ dry heat in the AZ desert climate is like running in an Oven or a blast furnace. Open the door on a hot oven sometime, put your face down close, and imagine how that feels all day long. Tough stuff. And a Tough Dude that McSolar.

lol, i'm a marshmallow.
 
it's more like a clothes dryer. in june/october my jeans dry completely outside in 5 minutes in the sun, but they take more than 30 min in the dryer. it's like living inside a very good clothes dryer. (today's exceptionally dry... thus the chilly joke...)
 
but july - sept we get monsoons... we had some 80f/80% days last week... and that was definitely a different kind of breger-esque fun <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blush.gif" style="width:18px;height:18px;" title="">

Ileneforward · Aug 3, 2010

Mcsolar!! Should I hide inside a lead lined room tomorrow morning?? The solar eruption should splash over us by then, hey?
 
 
....and dry our jeans right on our bodies!

CNYrunner · Aug 3, 2010

Me too choovie....there I was in deep sleep and dreaming about relay runners wearing mittens or was that schmatta dresses and compression socks and then this steam engine sound! Oh hey Pink. Somehow I am thinking you ran by on light feet with nary a huff or puff! Nice tempo.
 
Also love your tagline on your posting choovie---that's one of our favorite Dr. Who episodes. Every day at 5 pm on BBC America---reruns of the season with Dr. 10 (swoon)
 
Ran 9.7 miles this morning at 8:00 am and at 7:58 pace----felt peppy and the goal was to hold pace at near 8:00. Left the house with my kid who was off on a 4 miler. As I turned onto my route he yells: "Have a good run Shorty McShort-Short---Mayor of Shortville". Time to pull out the "I am now potty trained" videos as evidence of a time when he was the resident Shorty!

when this map turns entirely red, then you should worry. until then, don't believe the hype from some of my more dramatic colleagues...

and this is why it is good to have friends in higher places!!!! thanks mcsolarboy...thanks to you I will sleep tonight.
 
9 miles with 45 minutes at a faster pace today. I found a new hilly route to satisfy my need for running hills for Marathon and also put in some tempo miles.
 
Loving the stories told and dreaming about the stories that are not being told at the relay!
Great job captain Econo!!!

OrangeMat · Aug 4, 2010

Another 5.25 miles this evening with the running club. Lots of hair washing, though....
