<p>Well, at least it is here.  It has been raining like crazy the last few days and we are now supposed to get something like 30+ more hours of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I slept in this morning and will run later in the afternoon when it is hopefully a little warmer (higher 30s).  We have no child care today (boys are on Spring Break) and unfortunately I have a fair bit of work today, so I am working at home.  I also have a hearing at 9:45, but fortunately it is telephonic.  I will go into the office to do it, but will bring the boys and have them hang out in my office while I camp out in a conference room.  I hope they will be good.</p>

<p><strong>Tim -</strong> <span><img alt="notworthy.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/notworthy.gif" style="width:29px;height:15px;"></span>  I can't get over how great you look at the end - nice pic.  And great advice to share with everyone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Clare -</strong> woot!  Nice work and congrats on the hardware!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> - glad to see you were inspired again - go get 'em! </p>

<p>An hour on the arc trainer this morning, using the Hills program.    Not the planned workout, but a good substitute. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I heard the word BLIZZARD on the weather report this morning. Thankfully it wasn't for here, but I don't think anyone else wants that either.</p>

<p>"Telephonic".  You don't hear that word very often...  <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_7_130079735721431"><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_7_130079735721430" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a nice TM run last night:  11 miles in 90 minutes.  But it kinda beat me up.  Today my legs are sore and I'm sleepy as hell.  It's gonna be a struggle to make it thru the workday today...</p>

<p>Morning Gang -</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm back from vacation.  What'd I miss?  I saw <strong>Tim</strong> did his first ultra.  Congrats!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am SO ready to be done eating like crap and being lazy.  Kicking off Grandma's training today.  5 miles in pouring rain. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good runs to all.</p>

 

[Brandy]

<p>blah- rain rain rain today and then snow tomorrow I hear.  Woo hoo </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dome running tonight (thank goodness).  It is scheduled to be a 60 min tempo run but we'll see how sore I am from the race this weekend.  Might scale it back.</p>

 

[runningINnyc]

<p>Morning all!  Met up with my downtown bridges running peeps for a Tuesday edition of our loop, got 7.2 miles done in total.  Nice morning, good temps but it'll all soon be ruined by more rain and maybe snain</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Welcome back <strong>Cindi</strong>!</p>

<p>I'm doing some speedy stuff later.  Not sure what.  May hit some 800's, may instead opt for a strong tempo.  I think at this point, with the bridge run just a few weeks away, tempo is probably more effective.  </p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>I just saw this newsy story.  Too bad.  I guess I'm not in the competition for the heaviest runner anywhere.  Well, I wonder about the heaviest person to ever complete an ultra...  Hmmm...</p>

<p>Afternoon peeps</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Completed day 20 of the 100 DC at lunch. Laced up the skates, put on the gloves and smacked a puck around in the large open area here in my office bldg. Was the first time in prolly 6 months Ive done that. Felt good although towards the end I was getting burned out in such a small area compared to a rink.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Missy</strong> Great job on the TM last night. Ive never run consistent 830s even back in the days when I ran on a regular basis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Lora</strong> is that the Ben Franklin Bridge run? That would be cool and ass kicking all the same run for me LOL  </p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>WOOHOOOOOOOOO for Tim! </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>After a number of panic'd phone calls <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>at 6:30 this morning</em></span>  <img alt="cussing.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cussing.gif">   <img alt="violent1.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/violent1.gif">   <img alt="cussing.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cussing.gif" style="border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;"><img alt="cussing.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cussing.gif" style="border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;"><img alt="cussing.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cussing.gif" style="border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;">, I thought today's workout was going to be loading & unloading 1,000 lbs of clay, but the supplier ended up moving it inside himself and now I don't have to pick it up TODAY.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span><img alt="roll_eyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/roll_eyes.gif">   </span>Pffththt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So anyway, instead of that I"m going to change clothes and take the beastie for a walk. And hope it doesn't start to rain.</p>

That sounds like fun, Frankie.<br><br>
19 miles @ 8:50 pace on the rail trail today. I'm enjoying my stay cation, at least from an exercise standpoint. I'm sore as heck though and I didn't escape chafe-free thanks to my Darth runner utility belt.

Great job Duckie!!!   I recently dealt with some sweet (not!) neck chafe thanks to a combo of my Camelback, necklace and shorts bra strap.   M-Fer that burned!!</p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Nice run, <strong>Duck</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did an easy 3 miles in the park tonight.  I'm thinking I'll be on the TM tomorrow...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Off to read <strong>Tim</strong>'s RR...</p>

[Runninlaw]

<p>Woot - nice job Duck!  Sounds like a good way to enjoy a staycation to me!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll join in on the chafe crew - I had a nasty burn on my chest from my HRM - forgot the body glide and it was raining - youch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woot - I just had an awesome run.  It was raining these painful pellets and the winds were 20-25 mph, but my HR was low and I felt supah strong. <span><img alt="headbang.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/headbang.gif" style="width:26px;height:28px;"></span></p>

Not awful, just bothersome as I can't push off hard from my forefoot so I don't have a top gear, just a shuffle.  I do walk like a 90 year old guy for the first 10 minutes of the morning though. </p>

I'm more looking forward to seeing people than running the race.  If I get to see Moe, Dan, JenRuns and hubby, Rochey, BHearn, Illeneforward, etc...  then I'll have a great weekend regardless of anything that happens on race day!</p>
