<p>Morning, ya'll!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 mile run early this very chilly morning. Coldest morning of the season. Still in shorts but had to break out the SmartWool and wind jacket. Tempoish pacing but slow time-wise, probably due to cold and partially waiting for school buses and other traffic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>See ya!</p>

<p>Thor, really cold down here in PA as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for me, all of sudden on my way home from work on Monday I got an add pain in my right hip.  When I woke up yesterday morning it was still there (sleeping was tough during the night).  I went swimming yesterday and I tried to stretch and rub out the soreness.  At lunch I attempted to run and the pain went from the center of my thigh over to the inside quadricep muscle and feels like a charlie horse.  I cut the run short.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, this morning, my legs feels better but still not "right".  I didn't do my usual Wednesday morning BRICK figuring I would be doing more harm than good.  I am going to see how I do through out the day and make the determination as to whether I should go to my sports doc tonight or if my resting it will take care of it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So.....I might have a BRICK workout tonight, or I might just take the day off and rest up my leg (I am leaning towards a rest day).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a fun on this beautiful fall day!</p>

<p>Hello strangers - long time since I ventured onto the world of the internet - hope everyone is fit and well</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Swimming for me this morning - 2500m in sets of 500m</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have been swimming loads lately not so much cycling and running but I am getting back into it - have been a bit of a couch potato lately but with Skiing on the horizon I need to get fitter</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will hopefully be around more often - at least you lot can give me hell if I start to slack</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Good morning (almost afternoon), my kick friends.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This morning I was a bit rushed for time due to heavy traffic, so I limited my treadmill time to 2 miles only but I ran them harder and faster than Monday's run.  Each mile was 1 minute faster plus I added more elevation onto the treadmill.  So although the run was short, it was fairly intense and I was out of breath & very sweaty afterwards.  Of course I walked before and after, plus did 15 minutes of stretching afterwards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Miles, I'm sorry to hear about your hip.  I have hip bursitis on the right side, plus hip arthritis so I'm constantly monitoring every little twinge.  In addition, my IT bands are tight but I work hard to keep them as stretched out as possible.  I could practically be my own physical therapist, for all the time and money I've spent!  I hope that your hip pain resolves quickly.</p>
<p> </p>

4 mile stroller run - me in long tights and Eli dressed like a wooly bear. Have to post a pic, I wish I had this outfit for myself! I don't care what Ferber, Sears, Hogg or any other baby expert says - Eli will only nap outside or after having been outside. So, gotta get him dressed for winter - looks like I'll be running and walking a lot!

<p>NEIL!!!  Welcome back. <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//biggrin.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Run day today - may need to sneak out the minute I get home from work so that I can get it done OUTSIDE.  Today's run is dedicated to the memory of Ryan Shay on the anniversary of his death.  Do what you love tri-peeps.</p>

[Alaska Mike]

<p>Afternoon tri-peeps!  Morning started out crappy here in Chicagoland but its turning into a rather nice day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Miles - hope its nothing serious and clears up quickly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Neil - good to have you back buddy!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sparty - such a sad story.  It means something that while he lived he was able to spend his time doing something he loves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2200m in the pool.  Noreen sprinkled in some of the yoga philosophy, which causes me to roll my eyes.  Not buying that saying 'Hu Vu' or some such creates a specific frequency which causes us to be in harmony.  I'm there to swim, not chant.  FIB 30 minutes of lower body and core workout.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>30 min run later today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike</p>

<p>Miles:  Take caution!!!  Take care and I hope it's nothing!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me:  Crazy cardio DVD workout this morning & abs</p>

 

[niemsco]

<p>Finished my CT workout, started at 190watts, crept up to 210 in erg mode.  Seems like decent power for me this time of year, I guess.  Hard to say as I can't remember my normal rides from last year. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also saw Ronbo's bike today at the shop and his screwed up old fork.  </p>

 

[jenotter]

<p>Neil - nice to see you back!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was going to take the Little Otters on the dirt today, but nobody wanted to go for a stroller ride. So, opted for the treadmill while they watched Yo Gabba Gabba (which is by far the oddest kid show I've ever seen, but it really does have a good message). Did some intervals working up to 7.0mph for a total of 5.15 miles. My early morning two cups of coffee served me well - felt super peppy! <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>

Hi Neil!!! <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//biggrin.gif"><br><br>
Unplanned DOR. This seesaw weather in the PNW has been killing my allergies and gave me a wicked sinus headache today that I actually went home from work early. I figure it's better for me to save my energy for tomorrow's 6 miles than to try and suffer through 4 today.

 

[kburnell]

<p>3.75 mile run, totally unplugged - no watch, gps, etc.. felt nice.</p>

 

[ksurp]

<p>Squeezed in a quick 20 minutes of strength training in between driving kids around. That's it for today. I'm hoping things will settle down next week.</p>

 

[zojmn151]
