<p>Morning all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Congrats to all the Boston runners, especially <strong>Jill & Loopy</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to get out for some 800s today... but we are having 40mph gusts here.. I'm so over this freakin wind.  Not sure what to do.  Run an easy 5 outside? Run my 800s on the TM?  Run easy on the TM? <sigh> we'll see.</p>

<p>Ditto to <strong>Jill</strong> and <strong>loopy</strong>.  Great job.  And just think, you were there when a 2:03:02 was run!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS -- Nothing worse than running in the wind, except running <em><strong>fast</strong></em> in the wind.  Good luck. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday was an off day, and I'll prolly get in seven GA miles later. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>2500 in the fishbowl this morning.  Sets of pull buoy, catch up, paddles, single arm drill, paddles.  Will see Thursday if all these drills are helping our not.  Son1 and I finished TOSRV registration last night.  We're riding #'s 14 and 15.  Slowly but surely we're getting lower numbers!  The guys were joking that eventually we'll get bibs with just our first names, like the elite runners.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jill and loopy--great job yesterday!  Can't wait to read race reports!</p>
<p>BBS--AGREED!  I am so done with this stupid wind.</p>
<p>chances--enjoy the trot later.</p>

<p>Good morning everyone.  I had a rest day yesterday due to rain and such.  Today I did 4X5 minutes with 3 minutes of rest between.  It was a good hard effort.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7:20; 7:22; 6:55; 6:53  The first two had some uphill thrown in which made them a bit slower.  Overall it was a good measure of where my fitness etc... is at. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great morning everyone.</p>

<p>Morning all.   I ran 6.5 easy in light rain and wind this morning.   Felt good, starting to feel the improvement curve working.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - I agree, this wind is getting old.  Maybe you can find an 800 road stretch you can do with the wind and jog back.</p>
<p>Chances - have a good 7</p>
<p>Apple - are you all recovered from tough mudder?</p>
<p>4boys - good job in the pool</p>
<p>kfuller - nice intervals</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[RunAsics]

<p>Schedule days 7 GA miles. That ain't happening as I feel like crap.  Hopefully I can make it to 5 miles on the work TM before lunch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>zrun</strong> - Sweet! At least it wasn't snowing this morning...</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - nice effort on those intervals.</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> - nice job with the drills.</p>
<p><strong>Chances</strong> - enjoy the 7.</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong> - I have to say that I can't remember when it's been so windy for such a prolonged period of time.</p>

 

[Mailbox Head]

<p>Had a nice long post all ready to submit until my computer decided to spontaneously restart.  So nice runs/swims today everyone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did a little over 7 total, with 4 tempo miles in there at 7:00, 7:07, 7:15, 7:14.  Not what I was hoping for, but some hills in the middle miles kind of took my mojo away. </p>
<p>Nice job in Boston yesterday Loopy and Jill.</p>

<p>Morning all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully everyone's feeling inspired by that race up in New England yesterday. I had a rest day yesterday but I'm rarin' to get out today, even if it is just for an easy 8 or so. It seems we'll be getting rain on and off throughout the day so it may be a slightly wet one. I have a 1pm meeting so it will probably have to wait until after that but come 2pm, people better stay out of my way. <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>BBS - hmm...good luck on those 800s. Not much you can do about the wind, except not worrying about splits. Just keep your effort consistent.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Chances -</span> have a nice easy one</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apple - I'm with you, wanna see those reports!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - you're getting dangerously close to elite rider status.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - good job on the 5 minute fartleks</p>
<p> </p>
<p>zrun - glad to hear the curve is bending the right way</p>
<p> </p>
<p>jebba - come on, 2 miles today...you can do it! <span><img alt="icon_thumleft.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>ETA: sneaky Mailbox and RA got in & out while I typed and posted. Nice 7 MB and hope you get that 5er in RA.</p>

 

[RunAsics]

<p>Well, felt OK once I got going. Managed 6 but could probably have done the scheduled 7.  Had to vacate the TM since the gym got busy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - Just 8? LOL   Also, 2012.</p>
<p><strong>Mailbox</strong> - nice going with the tempo</p>

 

[jebba]

<p>Add my congratulations to <strong>loopy</strong> and <strong>Jill</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>RA</strong> - nice 6.</p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - enjoy the 8</p>
<p><strong>MBH</strong> - nice tempo, despite the hills</p>
<p><strong>zrun</strong>- light rain is one of my favorite times to run</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - you are really doing well this season</p>
<p><strong>4boys</strong> - Like Dory says from Finding Nemo: Just keep swimming!</p>
<p><strong>chances</strong> - hope you got your 7 in.</p>
<p><strong>BBS</strong>- windy here, too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me- up early for a p90x workout, and then did about 3 miles with Easy in the stroller.  I think my days of stroller running are coming to an end; he's just not that excited about sitting still.  Oh well, I really don't think it will be too long before he can ride his bike next to me.</p>

 

[CMJHawk86]

<p>Back from the 8 (yes, RA)...actually I took my usual work 7-miler and added a little extra loop in the middle of it, which I thought would add more than a mile, but that's all I got from it. Coasted along at a shockingly easy 7:40/mile pace...6:59 for the last mile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Humid, one might have even said it was muggy out there today had it not been 63 and overcast.</p>
