<p>Today is my normal rest day.  I am not sure if I want to run today or not.  It may just be a rest from running type of day. </p>

<p>Rest day.  Opting to do nothing but easy running this week.  Planning on driving the course tomorrow.  I pretty much know it--driving to work last night I was on part of the course--but there's a part that I want to convince myself won't be that bad.  Or at least the sucky part won't last forever.</p>

<p>Morning Mom & Kevin, enjoy the rests</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll be running 5 or so w/ the group tonight.</p>

<p>DD was up a couple of times (probably dreaming about The Lion King) + there was a skunk party in the wee hours so I opted to sleep in and do my first post marathon run around work later this morning.  I need to do something as I'm eating like a horse and will look like a beached whale in NYC.</p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - hash run?</p>
<p><strong>4boysmom</strong> & <strong>kfuller</strong> - enjoy the rest day</p>

<p>I got out for 3.10 miles.  It felt nice and easy.  Even the last .1 which was at about 6:30 pace.  Now, only if that could feel easy for a complete 5k.  Nice job on all the resting and running.</p>

<p>Morning all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No time to post yesterday but I did get out for 9 easy miles in the evening after being at a conference all day. Followed up with some core.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today - I'd like to hit the club track workout...if it's not raining cats & dogs by this evening, and if I can get out from under the pile of crap my friendly co-workers deposited on my desk while I was out of the office on company business.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If all else fails I'll hit the track closer to home, or TM in my home for the interval work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>kevin - nice job on the spontaneous 5k run. Feels good to "blow off" a rest day sometimes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4bm - enjoy the rest day, sounds like you are tapering well. I see you tried my taper week 4-mile MP workout yesterday, tweaked it a little but no big deal -- either way you should feel sharper come race day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS - enjoy the 5 mile suds run. <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA -  careful with all that eating...there was a beached whale in NY Harbor a few years ago. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Oh, and on the daily thread issue. I will keep posting as long as it's around. Going to a weekly format won't make it any more popular...I'm a participant on the weekly training thread in The Race and that one is lagging behind in traffic too. The multi-sport thread was discussing this very issue a few days ago (why such low traffic in the forums)...consensus there was that the growth of Facebook and KR's interface changes were part of the</span> problem, but the biggest issue was inability to post from smartphones. I know my posts have decreased because of that.</p>

<p>Ran 7 shirtless miles at lunch.  Low 70s, sunny and breezy.  Brings back memories of Saturday.  This Indian summer is bizarre.  The local trail was swarming with crickets and grasshoppers.  I had to use my shirt to beat them off!   Probably scared a few old ladies with my lily white torso.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Hawk</strong> - hopefully there'll be no cats (or dogs) at track tonight.</p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - you are just full of surprises.</p>

 

[kfuller]

<p>RA-  enjoy the nice weather while you can.  We are having a little break from the cold out here also.</p>

 

[Mailbox Head]

<p>The plan is to do 7 miles with 2 around 7:30 pace to shake my legs out tonight sometime between cramming for a huge test Thursday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some nice runs out there today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BBS- in response to your question from yesterday- I'm tapering for Columbus this weekend.</p>
