<p>22 hilly miles of road with my running partner. Today was the first day of my BADWATER TRAINING! <span><img alt="blob5.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/blob5.gif"></span></p>

<p>The only thing extreme at our house was the vomit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The wife and daughter were both unpleasantly ill. I ran around emptying out vomit buckets and supplying soup and water (with a spritzer of bleach that was used on every surface I passed). So far I've been spared. I'm glad to say they are both feeling a bit better. I hope to get a run in this afternoon. If not, tomorrow will be 70 deg and I'm sure to get out for a run!</p>

<p>Go get 'em meri!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not Badwater training, but I went for a 16 miler on the road with the grup at North Shore Athletics. Ran with the fast gals (Nicola, Jackie, Brook) & they dropped me on the last climb about a mile before the end.</p>
<p>I'm nursing my aching legs with a beer & hotdog while watching hockey....it's all about balance.</p>

<p>Yay for Meri!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got me some TRT training in, I ran the Pilot Mtn Payback Marathon on Saturday - the goal was to finsih alive and beat last year's time. I just about survived, and beat last years time by a whole minute or so. I just loved this race, tough climbs (figured something like 6700' of elevation gain), quad burning descents, steam crossings, some very technical trail... just a great race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's Pilot Mtn run to the top, round the pinnacle at the summit, and run down:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I love me some mountain running.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then Sunday, I went to Jordan Lake with the pups for a "feel the pain" run - run on heavy tired legs, just to remind myself that it is possible to move when your legs don't feel like it.</p>

<p>I decided to mix business with pleasure on Friday so ran to the bank(s) to make a couple of work deposits. It felt pretty good so I was going to stay out and keep going.</p>
<p>I would probably still be out there running but a de-icing truck went by, and although the driver stopped spraying before me and started up after me, I was still treated to a cloud of mist that tasted ugly. Ah, the aroma of urban running!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, was able to get 20 in on the roads and sidewalks before choking so I'm pleased. Ran an easy hour on Saturday and 15 miles on Sunday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri, congrats on Badwater.</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>Thanks everyone! I am still in shock <span><img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif"> Jimbo- what a race, looks intense!</span></p>

<p>Congrats <em>MeriG!</em>  That has to be so exciting for you </p>

<p><em>Jim -</em> by the look of that pic that is my kind of terrain.</p>

<p>My Weekend!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Saturday - 1:32 on the trail.  Some snowy conditions, but for the most part a pleasant run</em></p>
<p><em>Sunday -  2:10 on the trail. Raining/sleeting/windy/muddy all wrapped into one run, with temps in the 30s.  I didn't really start feeling the dampness until I was getting close to finishing the run when it really started coming down hard.</em></p>

<p>Congrats (or condolences??) Meri!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ran the Moab Red Hot 55k over the weekend.  Had a great time, as always.  It's such a fun race.  Saw a TON of friends out there and managed to set a new PR on that course (by 27 minutes), despite some pretty fierce headwinds (30-40mph) most of the day. </p>

<p>Meri: Congrats on Badwater!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CGerber: I forgot to ask how you did. Rocking.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just Jim: Nice picture. My legs are itching to climb to the top.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: Moab's Red Hot 55K. I took 18 minutes off my course PB (and finally broke 7 hours) after a hard week of training. I love this course and the event. I'm thinking next year: I might sign my husband for the 33K and I'll run it with him. The second aid station will quiet his whining about running 16+ miles.</p>
