<p>Hi all!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thinking of OM today in particular and wishing her a successful operation and speedy recovery.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3 easy miles to measure out one of my 5K course options this morning, after a lousy night with serial hot-flashes and little sleep.  This was my first consecutive day run since the calf tear and all went well.  The course measurement came up 500-600m short, so it's back to the drawing board.  I'd like to hang on to the major part of this.... an out-and-back on one of the new ravine paths, as it's rather pretty and challenging, but I can't extend the far end out as it hits a very nasty hill at 2K.  No good for a fun run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a wonderful day everyone!!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Good morning Heme.  Thanks for starting us this morning.  Congrats on the running and good luck with the 5k course.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best wishes OM.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Howdy to the rest of ya'll.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing for me today exercise wise.  Will ride again Thursday night and Saturday morning.  May run 4-6 miles Friday morning if I want to.</p>

<p>Thinking of OM today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good Morning KS and Heme!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had a lovely night of rain here and everything smelled so good this morning. Rain in the summer months is rare for us but we have a couple days here where a cool front moved in. I am enjoying the summer rain. Will get in a run this evening.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomorrow we start puppy classes. yay!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>...24min caned out</p>
<p>at the SoccerFields...</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>you ever been Disapointed when the HeatIndex just got to 96??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>told my SIL</p>
<p>I wanted to run in triple-digits today,</p>
<p>she asked me ''Why?''</p>
<p>after trying to explain it, it dawned on me</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I CAN'T explain it/////........''To see if I can'' apparently isn't an acceptable answer</p>

<p>Hoping OM's resting comfortably.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice going on the back-to-back runs, Heme. You've been patient.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tamster - I'm a fan too of summer rain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>tw - when they have to ask, you know they won't understand.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another strong tempo run for me this morning. 2 mile w/u then 8 avg'ing 7:50. I'll take it in this heat and humidity. Core and resistance w/o tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I love when you guys talk about the routes you run so Heme I have this Western Movie ravine image in my head.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for the welcome back yesterday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tonight I did something that is not normal for an ultra distance runner I ran an 800 metres</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2.12 and a WAVA over 80%. Previous PB was 2.21 but my training had indicated I would run between 2.09 and 2.15. Happy but disappointed as I got boxed and lost 2 seconds on the first lap. Lacking raw speed means that all I can then do is hold a good pace. Ran 66.xx the 65.xx for official time of 2.12.07.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Feel that I can go 2.0X if I do nothing beyond run harder next time out.</p>

<p>Thinking of Orange Mat, hope everything is OK</p>
<p> </p>
<p>7 miles in the woods this morning before work, no heat index here, only got up to 75° F this afternoon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heme....can you back up the start & finish by 250-300m??    How are you measuring the course??,with a Garmin?? If so, you may want to measure it more than once at different times of the day. Depending on how accurate you want it, of course.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TW at a loss for words......can't be possible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice 800m Gobi....I can run a 400m about that fast.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice Tempo Mike....training for anything??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What you doing with all the extra time Ks??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>GL with the puppy training Tamster....I have a mental picture of you in leather with a .......er, nevermind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Checking in before heading out for 8 miles...got the summer rain going on here too...very nice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm sure OM sailed through her surgery and will check in soon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A good day for running all round, it seems; except for KS who is taking a well deserved break.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PS I was wondering what you meant by this, Johnny:</p>
<p>"...have you been conferring with spareribs about race day garb?"</p>
<p>I know who he is, but don't know the connection with running clothes.</p>

 

[ksrunr]

<p>Johnny - I'm just resting with my extra time</p>
<p> </p>
<p>HappyFeat - Ribs is notorious for matching running clothes even with his shoes.</p>

 

[ripvanracer]

<p>Hi everybody</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tell Ribs I said Hi if anybody posts with him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I tried running this evening for the first time in 4 weeks and did a little under 3 miles.  Didn't want to</p>
<p>chance going any farther but everything worked fine.  I'll try to run every once in a while until the first of the month</p>
<p>and see if I can start training then.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hi Gobi</p>

<p> </p>
<p>....ok johnny, I saw that........</p>

 

[Hemerocallus]

<p>Baby steps, Rip, baby steps.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OK, that was kind of a funny image, Gobi.  Western movie indeed.  Try urban park with paved cycling path beside 6 lane freeway, surrounded by condominium towers.</p>
<p>Not quite so romantic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Johnny, I'm stuck with the location of start/finish on the company property, that gives me about plus/minus 100m to play with, but can try out various loops of the side streets until I get it right.  Am using a Garmin to measure, but won't be too worried about getting it dead on.  I have about a month to get it figured out.</p>
