<p>Yeah, yeah, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Busy so right to it for me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 mile tempo-ish run early this morning in a down pouring rain. Put on Green Day and Blink on the iPod and pounded out an up-paced run. Engine still not flowing all that fluidly since Stone Cat 50 but was still able to rip off a fairly fast time on a set route. I suspect my legs will come back around in a week or two. About what I expected after a busy fall racing season.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great day, People!</p>

<p>Afternoon Thor!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7 miles on the DM this am at the hotel...staying on east coast time...no daylight until I had to get ready to go to my meeting.  phooey.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ah, but I am done for the day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one!</p>

<p>8 mile run in 1:02 / 7:49pace as 8:47, 8:07, 7:54, 7:38, 7:26, 7:20, 7:10, 8:08 cool down.  Just trying to knock 10seconds off each mile or so.  Something to do other than a boring straight run. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>60 minutes on the computrainer later, another power workout.</p>

 

[KitKat]

<p>Masters swim tonight.  400 m benchmark in the main set.  I think 400s are my least favorite distance...too long to go all out and short enough to think you should!  I'm tired just thinking about it.</p>

 

[SpartyGirl]

<p>90min comtemoporary class tonight...I've been told that a tequila shot may be in order.  In other words I'm going to be in a world of hurt tomorrow. Awesome. </p>

 

[jenotter]

<p>Ahhh...back in the saddle. Er, the stroller? Took the little O's on the dirt today for just over 4 miles. Nothing too eventful, normal stroller pace, beautiful and cool fall morning. Pretty darn nice!</p>

Jealous, Jen! Would love to get out with Eli for a walk and enjoy this beautiful (though windy) fall day, but I'm sick <img alt="sad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> my nose is so plugged up, the netti pot can't break through. Afrin is the only thing that works but I have to save it for nighttime when I'm desparate since it can "dry up" breast milk. The crockpot has been on all day cooking enchilada chili and I can't smell a thing! I did get a 2300-yard swim in this morning. I think the chlorine made my nose worse. Oh well, at least Eli is breathing more clearly for now.

 

[Yo Sake]

<p>Beth - hope you feel better soon! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A little over 6 miles including 2x1200m at 7:40pace.  I guess what is what I am shooing for the half this Sunday.  The last 'fast'ish run.  I am taking less taper than normal this time.  Just for experiment based on the pretty strong half (PR) last Oct without taper at all.  I can tell - I really *REALLY* need to focus on not running too fast at the beginning.  'This is too slow' is the feedback I need to receive for the first miles.  For just once, I want to run right at or slower than the target pace at the beginning. Damn it. </p>

Well, I am in Arizona and the weather is awesome. Yesterday was kind of a wash with regard to training, just not enough time to do too much after I arrived. I played golf with my father and by the time we were done I wasn't able to get into the pool (swim team practice).<br><br>
Today, I was up and awake by 4:30AM. I ended heading out for a 45 minute run around 6:00AM, which went pretty well. Around 12:00PM I got in a 3,300m swim at the outdoor pool which was awesome. I've spent the rest of the day thus far watching "Avatar", justrelaxing befor dinner.<br><br>
Hope everyone is having a stellar day. Four days and counting!

Just enjoy the last few days and relax - all the work is in the bank so its all fun from here;-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Missed swimming the last 2 days due to kids routines being shifted round - but had 2 hrs of "touch" rugby this evening - if its "touch" why do I ache so much -  As it was wet and muddy I am now thinking that wearing a white rugby shirt was not such a good idea - bloody muppet</p>
<p> </p>
<p>should get to the pool in the morning which will work out all the aches that are kicking in now</p>

<p>Benchmark swim last night which included an all out 50 m as well as a 400.  Times were 39.5 s for the 50 and 6:39 for the 400.  I'll take it but really felt like there is plenty room for improvement, especially in the 400.</p>
