<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of tiredness going on. Hang tough, be smart, and for those of you who need to plow through it, just do it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9 mile rolling hills run early this humid morning in just over an hour (actually was 8.75 miles in 1:02:54). Charged the rollers on the ups and tried to coast at honest effort on the downs. Tempo pacing after the first mile or two. Avg pace was roughly 7:10. (According to gmap-pedometer.com).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day!</p>

<p>Thor- your comment about being tired got me thinking- this is the first day in a long time in which I have NOT been tired and I actually have a ton of energy.  I guess I must be tapering well because I'm REALLY freakin' excited to race this weekend. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today- just a nice walk with Rex and DH to keep the shin warm and calf relaxed. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Wednesday everyone!!!</p>

 

[Muffin Queen]

<p>Tried a 10 minute run this morning before the dentist.  Was not 100% pain free but was ok and able to finish.  Still going to play it safe and have the hubster run for me at MA state on Sunday. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pool swim this afternoon.</p>

 

[master_of_none]

<p>Very good pump class with a lot of squats followd by ice hockey.  Today was a good day to be in the rink.  I have to agree on the tired as i gave myself an extra half hour of sleep.</p>

 

[ksurp]

<p>45 minutes of strength training. Now off to sit in class for 5 hours. DH and I had a great 3 mile walk last night to keep my hammy happy and to survive the super humidity/heat.</p>

 

[MBannon]

<p>Nothing in the books so far today.  Felt asleep kinda late since Noisy Neighbor was being noisy again.  On tap for after work is a 6 mile tempo run and some sort of swim workout.  Could have done the run during lunch, but we don't have a shower and 6 miles of tempo pace generates more sweat than baby wipes can realistically handle.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[regiolanthe]

<p>Well ... all good things, etc ....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Looks like after 8.5 years in this gig, it'll be the last bike commute for a while (closing the facility down). Made it count with my first 20 mph AM commute of the season (16.9 miles), a nice and leisurely ride along the coast at lunch (21.75 miles - mid 17s), and probably the long commute home for about a 57 mile day...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, clicked over 2000 bike miles for the season during the lunch ride.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wish me luck in the job search.</p>

Sorry to hear, Reg. It sucks. I know. Especially when you've been there that long. Good luck in your search. And hey, if bad news had to come in this sort of form, it's not at all a bad time of year for it to come. I was bummed that my company hit the shitter in January. If it were June/July/August, I probably would have run across the state or country or done something other epic. Or at least I would have thought about doing it. Doing it is a different story. But good for you. Enjoy the summer. And yeah, I know, looking for a new job is a full time job. So plan some down time.</p>

[jenotter]

<p>Reg - sorry to hear about the work situation!!!  Will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did a 3.5m run with the little otters this morning, and a brief OWS this afternoon. I was thinking about squeezing in a ride tonight, but all afternoon at the lake has left me pretty zonked. Ride on tap for tomorrow.</p>

 

[Yo Sake]

<p>reg - sorry about your job loss.  Good luck on your search.  You got a nice volume going on this summer.  Hope this situation wouldn't be too hard for your family. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>45min. MTB ride.  I didn't feel any wrist pain while changing gears.  What gave me a shooting pain was bumpy downhills, ouch.  I tried to hold onto the handle only genetley and almost lost a control and wiped out. </p>
<p>5.5mile run including some strides in the evening.  Legs were tired and heavy; just needed to push through it.</p>

 

[hobey]

Reg - sorry to hear about the job situation.<br><br>
Tammy - You're ready!<br><br>
I've been having a bit of inner ankle pain on the right the last few days and I finally traced it down to the constant clip- unclip on my stoplight heavy commute. So I'm taking it easy this week. Rested it today. We'll see what the rest of the week brings.

 

[SpartyGirl]

<p>reg-sorry to hear the latest development, good luck on your search!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>tammy - go girl!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me - 90min of dance after 2 weeks without dance.  In a word? Ow.</p>

 

[AdCo]

<p>Sorry to hear about the job Reg - hope it gets resolved soon, but Thor is right, at least it's nice out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1 hour nice and steady on the bike. </p>

 

[cak73]

<p>Reg...sorry to hear about your job.  Best wishes in your job search!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MQ...have fun at Mass State!  I did the Oly in 2009 and 2010.  Some of the pavement on the bike course is a bit rough, so be careful.  Other than that, it's a nice course.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3100y at early morning masters swim for me.  Got my old road bike out of the basement and rode to the pool and back.  I don't enjoy my road bike as much as my tri bike and wish I had the means to fix that.</p>
