Good Morning Boomers!

Elaine ? nice fast finish LR!

Hi Roy and Perch and Vista! (waving happily)

7 easy-paced miles (ave pace 9:50, ave HR 133) for me today in 71 degrees. Pain in the ball of my foot below the big toe (tender sesamoids) in my right foot caused me to break out my new shoes for this run. Not quite new, actually, since I ran my last 20-miler in them. I?ll run tomorrow?s 21-miler in them, then put them in the closet to wear for the marathon. With less than 50 miles on them, they should be broken in but still comfy.

DD has her first soccer game this morning. I spent an hour yesterday putting together the game roster. 8 quarters, 5 players each quarter, 8 players on the team. Everyone must be played an equal amount of time, but I can?t put a player in 2 quarters in a row unless he/she is a goalie for one of them. Add to that 2 players that need to be separated because of fighting issues. And everyone wants a chance to be goalie. (sigh) I bet one of you computer programmers could come up with a program for this much faster than it took me. Now I just hope everyone shows up, or my roster will be a shambles.

Good luck to the racers today!

morning boomers -)

way to go ukers! (wonder if that's like yupper?) excellent runs, both. roy, great hr/pace. my adjusted goal is to have my ahr really high. then I succeed sometimes. .

glad you had such a nice trip, perch.

nice run in the heat, Vista.

{{{ Holly's sesamoids }}} did the new shoes help? good luck with soccer politics & logistics. I just bet there are a few parents there that add to the fun.

it's nice you're getting a little bit of a break from the triple digits, Peter.

great news Munch!

yippee adave2 isn't limping.

callanetics & stability ball & basement cleaning so far today. tomorrow I'm going to run mid-day for the first time... the weather should be ok, I'm hoping to do the river route. I'll wear sandals & change there...hopefully no howling dog without a run at home. wonder what other triggers I should change.

have a great day everybody.
good luck racers!

YICK. 72F and 100% humidity when I went out.

I took JD for 2.5 miles. She's funny -- when she gets "too far" from the house (in her mind, such that it is), she decides it's time to go back. She is not tired -- I guess just a bit anxious about being away from home.

My plan said to run a tuneup race, so I felt guilty about wanting to run easy, so I did a bit of an impromptu tempo run. I'm calling it 1 mile w/u, 4.1 miles half hearted tempo @7:42/mi.

Stats: 5.1 miles, total 39:57 (7:50/mi)

Good luck racers!

good morning boomers,
sounds like elaine and roy got the warm weather we had in sweden yesterday; coolish today with blustery winds.

my run was sort of like elaine's, though not cutback week, just the reverse - today was my longest run ever, just over the HM at 13,13 miles. i also dug in the last three, and ran them at a faster pace than the first 10.beautiful scenery today, with fluffy sheep, sleek horses, grazing cows - and a real live swedish cowboy riding a horse, complete with boots, spurs, and cowboy hat!

it was an adventure run - i ran a new route over to the next fjord and wandered in and out of some small roads. found new places to explore next year - this was my last long run in sweden, we fly home on tuesday.

the stats: 13.13 miles in 3.07, avg pace 14.18, AHR 132
good luck to the racers and happy weekend all,
