<p>Took the day off after torching my legs on the eliptical.  Not too excited about any races this weekend but I may go to one friday evening since I haven't run since last saturday.  It's getting really hard to just show up at a race and run with either fantastically high prices or no race day registration.  You used to pay a couple dollars more on race day and now some races are 15-20 dollars higher.</p>
<p>Here I thought all this great new technology would make it easier and cheaper for stuff like that!!</p>

<p>That's not determination TW, that's intently making sure I don't make a wrong turn or take another fall<span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>.</p>

<p>Hi Guys and Gals,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8 mi tempo today, not as hard as last week, 8:00 pace.  I'm trying to preserve something for my LR on Fri.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rip, I don't know how you manage racing through the woods like that. And with music. I'm finding sidewalks a challenge lately. Give me a smooth stretch of asphalt any day, whether flat, up or downhill doesn't matter. (Although I'll avoid canted edges.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So where's ksr's rr?</p>

Aw, c'mon Mike.  That's where all the fun is!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm feeling a bit like you in leaving some for the LR on Sat.</p>
<p>8.3 miles easy after work, with a little bit of trail thrown in for fun.  Thankfully it was a lovely day out and the trails were well used... interestingly about 80% by women with their dogs.  I get nervous running alone in the city ravines.  Out of town where I live, no problem, no creeps.  Right hamstring that's been bugging me for a couple of weeks now remains tight... I need to get serious on getting that loosened up.</p>

<p>Where is KS?  How can we congratulate him without an RR?</p>
