<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MoCo: Why would NYC not happen?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don: Yes, I saw that the top guys and gals at Washington were from CO. But that should be no surprise. Top mountain runners are and nearly always have been from CO. You've got the goods so close to home. Makes sense. Here, there are goods, but you have to travel way up to the Whites, and very few people live up there. I actually hung out with many of those guys after the race (Rickey G, Max K, Brandi, etc.). Was putting down PBR's with Rickey, the guy who won the race, at the summit. What's cool is that many of those guys will be at TransRockies this year, so the party for me will continue.</p>

<p>Me...</p>

<p>5.65 mile run early this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>May tag on a double with a trail run after work or a local 5K. Leaning toward trail because I can do it according to my own schedule rather than waiting for race start, and I can get home at a decent hour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day!</p>

<p>Thor, I've been running once every week or so, up to a whopping 3 miles.  Not sure that's the <em>smartest</em> base for marathon training, even though I can swim for hours.  My PT job schedule has taken over my life so I need to figure out what I can do to fit training in.  I haven't run regularly since the hip thing happened in summer 09, and cardio base is not the same as time on feet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm actually going to make the go/no go decision in early August when we have to make travel plans, but right now it's not looking good.</p>

<p>Have fun Thor. </p>

<p>I am still in a bad pain from the fall.  The rash is still raw which is annoying but the pain is from the deep bruises in the back.  Can't run.  Even walking is somewhat painful but I can't sit still, so did 40min.  I am re-amazed the power of adrenalin and determination I had in me to finish the race the way I did.  Sheesh, I want to go RIDE!</p>

<p>Yo Sake:  Ouch.  T&P  for some rapid healing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>em73:  Keeping my fingers crossed that you are happy and find peace with whatever decision you make.</p>

<p>Pool swim today.  Had to cut it short due to long lines at the pool and me not wanting to be "that" person that clogs the lanes.  Did 1850 of 2350 scheduled.  Overall a craptastic swim but it is over now.  Will do some strength work tonight while indulging in my bad tv habit. </p>

<p>1 day closer to Friday!! </p>

<p>Taught a boot camp class at 6am this morning.  Wanted to get in a ride this afternoon but Mother Nature decided to drop a crap-ton of rain on us.  Sooo, ended up going to the gym and running 2 miles followed by an hour on the spin bike. </p>

<p>Yoshi: Sorry to hear. Hope the pain goes quickly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: Added...</p>

<p>7 mile trail run after work. Having hammy issues, the same that stuck with me for a few months after Boston and that never really went away. Well, now it's back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good night!</p>

<p>Yoshi...hope you feel better soon!</p>

<p>One hour easy ride outside on the bike tonight with a couple of friends.  Was pretty tired heading into it, but it was a great ride.  Am learning the value of having folks to swim/bike/run with you when you're a bit tired.</p>

<p>1 hour on the trainer.  5X4min intervals with 3 min rest.. Need to get back to training nutrition mindset as I mostly bonked on the last one and then was really dehydrated all night. </p>
