<p>Morning, peeps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Up at BCOD today.  Probably work from home.  And the bike trainer might need me for an hour's spin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good ones. </p>

<p><strong>Chances</strong> - enjoy the trainer...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heavy rain = treadmill.  Epic fail on 8 w/4 @ tempo.  My right groin/abductor was not happy so I shut it down quickly.  Finished with a sad face and 6 miles.  I think I may have to just shut it down completely to let this thing heal.  F'ing annoying to say the least.</p>

<p>Morning' gents.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fail for me on the morning swim. Tossed and turned in bed all night for some reason, finally at 3:30 I got up & canceled the 5am alarm. I guess it was the right call as I did finally fall asleep. Will have to improvise on the XT workout for today now...bike maybe, or (ugh) elliptical.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chances - when the trainer calls you must heed it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA - sorry about the groin problem. At least it's early in training.</p>

<p>Chances- hope your ride to nowhere is an enjoyable one</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RA- Maybe if you stuck to running what the schedule says to run and not adding a few miles here and there?? Hope it heals up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hawk- I vote for bike</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MBH- uummm... you going all the way to 31??? if so <span id="user_yui_3_4_1_21_1323875207482_10"><img alt="icon_salut.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1323875207482_270" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got in a decent 5 miler today.  Legs felt a little stiff, but at least not sore.  I think that the post-marathon last year kinda hampered my 5k training.  It took about a month to get my normal 'easy' pace back.  So I'm hoping maybe this year will be a better start.</p>

And so it was. I biked the 14 mile version of my long run loop (which is really 14.7). Chilly and overcast but nice once I got warmed up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One day at a time BBS. It will come back. It always does.</p>

<p>Bike well Chances.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sometimes that's the best thing to do Asics.  Although I can't help but wonder if the tempo went bad because of your undisciplined deviance from schedule earlier this week...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At least you were able to get a decent little work out in there Hawk.  I think those types of workouts do a lot more good than the big ones where everything is going fine the whole time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hang in BBS- heavy mileage is almost always easier to recover from the second and third time around.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And yeah, I'm trying to get to the 31st.  Right now I'm trying to hold off on doubles and more for as long as possible, but I know once I start stringing together 20 mile days I'll need to.  I haven't actually read about anyone making it the whole way- but I have something the others don't- my complete and utter lack of any common sense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still very easy right now, 14 today with almost no fatigue, and a decent pace- probably something south of 8:30ish and getting faster by the end.  I believe the end of this week will marl my first ever 100+ mile week, and it will also start basically 2 straight weeks of what I consider long run miles (nothing short of 18 registers as a long run IMO).  That's when it'll start to get real, but I'll also be out of classes then so I can pull a Kenyan and sleep the rest of the day when I'm not running.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(I have to admit to cheating already though- doing the math, I didn't want to come so close to 500 without getting there, so I did five on the first of the month.)</p>

<p>Odd sort of day here.  Delayed workout which has morphed into a rest day.  Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 50's so I'll do a run rather than swim, since Friday is supposed to be yucky weather and perfect for an indoor workout (fishbowl).</p>

<p>Hey y'all.  I got stuck in court, so no lunchtime run.  Then I had to cart the kids to kung fu.  Then mr jebba got stuck at work, so I couldn't run while he made dinner.  Long story short, just a one mile keep-the-streak-alive run today.  My goal for the week is 40 miles, so I need to average 6 miles the rest of the week.</p>
