<p>Lots of 2's today.   So I'll run 2 X's today.  7 ez miles this morning, breezy, overcast, humid, 68 degrees.  Typical CC weather.<br><br>
Ready for this weekend Mike.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hiya Happyfeet - I ran the Portland marathon 2 years ago and spent the week touring OR and WA.  I see you're from up there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hiya JJVoo</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OM - yak on yak off reminds me of that cheesy movie.  Stop that. :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Poolrunning TW?<br><br>
It'd be ok if Jeb and McS and others showed up once in a while, eh?</p>

<p>Hiya KS!  Thanks for getting us started.  And you're an hour behind the right coast.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, I'm getting into the visualization mode now ahead of this w/e.  Should be interesting.  4 miles recovery pace today - just under 9 m/m on the TM.  (7F outside this morning!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't like running in snow with or w/o yaks.  The slippage seems to bother my AT.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry to hear about the owies, Opie.  Be careful how you proceed.</p>

<p>No running for me today... just an hour in the gym for core/abs/hips/etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day!</p>

<p>Hi early risers.  I was on the treadmill at 8:30 this morning.  20 minute warmup, 17 X :30 with :90 recovery, 2 X 1:00 with a little more recovery to finish my hour.  Ended up with 7.91 miles at 3% incline.  Started the fast parts at 5:52 pace and worked my way down to the 5:40s.  Last fast 1:00 at 5:30 pace.   Easy pace is on schedule for the next 3 days.</p>

<p>Mike, thanks for the concern.  When my Morton's toe bothered me before, it seemed like a more gradual problem.  It hurt like hell this morning.  I've got a call into Brooke but I think it's safe to say no running for a few days.  I'll swim today or tomorrow, probably tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OM, I have a yoga question.  I wasn't able to make it to class yesterday, and I almost always go to that class at lunchtime so I'm usually more flexible when I run on Monday.  Could the lack of flexibility be a factor?  Also, Monday is usually an easy day for me but we switched it around this week so it was a more challenging run.  And should I go to class tonight?</p>

<p>Hi all...rest day yesterday (from running), which meant I had to work all day in 6"-12" of snow, not really fun & takes twice as long to get anything done (pretty tough when you bid the job)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A "rip" like one hour TM run at the gym today, except with half the grade & 80% of the milage, followed by some upper body weights and day 1 of increasing strength in the left leg. Will be running at the gym a lot in the immediate future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Third or 4th the labduck, mcsolar sentiments and a whole lot more MIA folk to boot.....SS...choovie......milbot.....WJ....the list goes on and on.</p>

<p>Opie, if you're up to it, sure, you can go to class tonight. Running and yoga use the feet differently. As to a direct correlation between your toe issue and missing class, who knows? What about the days that you don't do yoga but do run? More questions than answers, heh....</p>

<p>Looks like today has turned out to be a complete rest day for me. Had a funeral this morning, and my intent was to go to the gym in the afternoon to use the elliptical. But I guess this morning's experience took the wind out of the sails for me, coupled with this burgeoning cold I've had for close to a week, so I just bagged it all and got a pedicure instead. <span><img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif"></span></p>

Sounds like a <em>really</em> good idea, Esther!</p>
<p>I should have done likewise....... got in early to go to the gym and as I pulled into my parking space, I remembered that I left my laptop at home..... a 1/ to 1hr drive away (depending on traffic).  First time I've done that.... and hopefully the last.  Didn't set a good tone for the rest of the day. </p>
<p>Take care of yourself, girl!</p>
