FWRC Race It was good. A bit windy but it was a flat course. The prizes were pretty nice. It was a pack of two of those new buffalo nickles. There was some nice computition up in the front and thats what helped me. I ended up running a 36:40 and i was pretty happy. This coming weekend im running the Capitpl 10k. Im going to try to break 37:00, which will break my age group record.

How late does the expo go? If it's still going on at 7pm, I might be able to make it over there.

Otherwise, though, is there a Cool Runners White Rock get-together planned? Like Saturday night at some restaurant or other venue?

Done each of those while fully awake! Also got to a race once with no socks.

Done that too!

What a sweetheart! (And quite a shoe salesman too, apparently.)

Anyway, now she knows I exist. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!

Sounds like a plan to me!

LUNGES

Would yall tell me what you know about them?! Of all my workouts, lunges cause me the most grief, and I'm wondering if they're doing me any good? Friday, I did 3 sets of 20, along with my other weight training, and 4.75 mile run. Saturday, my legs are in agony! Squeezed out a 4.275 mile run-no weight training. Sunday is my scheduled long run, and my legs are still in agony. Managed 7.125 miles, slow pace. I did weight training today, and it is a scheduled rest day (for running). My legs feel a little bit better, but were still sore today.

My thinking is, if I am this sore, there is definetly a weakness there that needs to be worked on. Every time I do lunges,it's like this...I stay very sore for several days. I would like any input that yall might have on lunges. I hate them more than anything on earth. But I also believe that that which does not kill me might just make me stronger !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!

First I would ask wether or not you are in pain or just sore. If you're just sore, you're probably ok. You may want to just do them every other week or cut down the quantity say 3 x 15 instead. Lunges build quadricep and hamstring strength and add an explosiveness to your muscle development, in other words it should help speed developement. If your doing them too much though your legs may get to bulky and it could, overall as a distance runner, slow you down. Personally I only have done such weight training in the winter to help maintain fitness and strength when I'm not running as much. I would not say it is a neccessary part of a weekly routine, but then again I wouldn't be doing weight training year round myself anyways.

There's my two cents.
