Getting there...
The mile yesterday was much easier and I didn't have to run on my toes too much to keep the pain down.
Woke up this morning with considerably less pain in the quads. I tested them out a little and I can do a full squat without weights, and flex both muscles without excessive pain. Still gonna take it easy the next few days and not go for a "real" run till at least the weekend I think. Still can't figure out why I haven't gotten too down about the race Sunday, but I know I'm going to have some serious motivation once I'm back.

Hope everyone enjoys their runs today.

Good morning all -

Sorry I have been MIA for few days... Gotta catch up on everyone's reports. Weekend was busy (daughter homecoming dance & family dinner). Ended up taking weekend off from running.

Weather here is still crazy. Ran last night in 73 temps. Made mistake of wearing pants thinking it was gonna get cold and it ended up getting hotter. Ran 4.83 m at a nice slow pace. Hamstring is little sore, so just stretching things out a little. Same muscle tends to act up once in awhile.

Today, rain and chill is suppose to hit pa finally. Will be running in evening again. Post later.

Have great day all and hope all the CA runners are safe.

Ps.. Found out today daughter didn't make the ODP (state) soccer team. bummer. Oh well always next year tryouts.

Morning guys,

Sorry I haven't been around the past few days. I've sort of been taking a break from running (and focusing on grad school!) since I'm still sickish and my calf is doing a weird thing. I'll hopefully run at least a bit today!

Have good ones all

Addy

No running today, instead I have bike training (computrainer). I'm now questioning the wisdom of a 5 mile tempo run last night... saddle sore and tired legs (

Perhaps I should fit a cruiser saddle, with big springs, on my road bike? Weight isn't a factor on the trainer. It could be a new trend.

School, then an easy 4 for me today. I'll report on it later.

Nirvana, I am in, if it is an auto draft since I am working tomorrow night. Let me know.

It's supposed to be a live draft, but you can pre-rank your players. Still interested?

Alex--dog gone you!!! I already have two teens driving me nuts. I don't need YOU to add to my stress!!!!!!!

Let's see... it's Wednesday. Fishbowl for me! Was scheduled for a steady 30mins. Asked my coach if I could stretch it out and add toys. Ended up with 1:11 with kick and one arm drills, fins and paddles drills. Oh, and some swimming thrown in for good measure.

Then for a run. Fall is certainly here! 50' and damp. The sky was beautiful. Grey clouds that looked like wrinkled silk. The runs are still running heavily after all the rain we got yesterday. My legs were pretty whipped from the swim/fin drills. Decided to just have fun with the run and not worry about numbers. Until the end, that is... Decided to 'race' the final short mile.

OB 2.59m, 22:39 IB 2.51m, 21:55
overall-- 5.12m, 44:34, 8:42pace

Oh, and that's a 11sec PR over yesterday...

Need to get school started. Three of them are done with science. One of 'em done with math. Need to hand out the rest of the assignments. It's almost cold enough to get the fireplace going. Nuthin' like school in front of the fire!
