Monnik, great job on the 3 mile run. Good to hear you're not hurting too! Good luck with DS running tonight.

Misswendy, nice run. It's been rather warm up here, I was going to ask which of you southerners left the door open. LOL! Are you a Johnny Depp fan? They were shooting a movie last week in Columbus, WI (about 45 min. from here). It was a ‘big thing' here. They're shooting for a new Johnny Depp movie called "Public Enemies". And, yes, he was here last week. Although the hordes that went to see him couldn't get very close because of all the security. I saw his picture in the paper though...

Runjr, great run! You've earned a rest day! I'm thinking real hard on it (San Antonio) I was there about 20 years ago and thought it was a great place. DD#3 said she'd be interested in going along (I doubt she'd run though). DD#2 will be 18 by then and who knows what she wants to do. The SA Half is in November, my first half in Green Bay is in May. I'm thinking of doing another half somewhere in the middle.

Toshi, Congrrats on the race! That was a great time!. I liked your picture race report. You must be a writer, because you do such a good job of reporting what is going on around you.

Laurel, You'll do fine! I suggest,if you can hold yourself back (LOL), that you run those 17.5 miles as easy as you can. Save your effort for the race! Oh yeah and drink plenty of water the day before. Get a lot of sleep on Friday night. (but you already knew that)

Misswendy and Chuck, great advice! If it's not fun, why do it?

Well that's all for me, I'm headin to bed! Good luck to everyone on your runs tomorrow! Everyone resting, rest easy!

Kevin

met my running buddy this a.m. - first time since the 10K - we ran 5.5M today. So, I'll either rest tomorrow (have a bit of an ache on medial right calf) or will run 3.5M (as was scheduled today) - have moved the 7M run to thursday...

Have a fantastic day!

Laurel

DID SOMEONE SAY JOHNNY DEPP??? I love me some Johnny Depp. best movie=Finding Neverland!

SpiceGeek, Laurel and McD-hope you are ALL feeling better

SpiceGeek-cool website. What is that? A game?

Laurel-I've
heard about a lot of folks that have GI issues after long runs. Its a
common thing, if that makes you feel any better!

Kevin-come on down to Texas. San Antonio should be a lot of fun. Now if we can just recruit some more folks.

Toshi- Great pics.

Jeff-Snowboarder
eh? Well, someone has to do that. (HA) Sorry, im one of those purists
that is still trying hard to like sharing a mountain with snowboarders.
I never thought I would see the day when Taos let ya'll on the
mountain. It is just so dangerous. A kid in our group cracked his head
pretty good on this trip and ended up in a ER in Denver.

On
drinking water during a race: I have been practicing because my last
race I didnt want to stop so I ended up with a bunch of water up my
nose. I figured out that if you pinch the cup and make a spout you can
drink it more easily. Just like wendy said.

Wendy-step away from the chocolate. Put
your hands in the air. So where you going this summer? Im up for a trip to San
Diego or Santa Barbara.

Joe- Did you register already? I saw it goes up on 3/31. Im wondering if I should buy an extra concert ticket.

Okay, Im off for 6.

Bye all! Happy running!

Where is EVERY ONE?

Later!

JeffRW, nice easy run! Those are what I try to do, also. Yep! I'm off and running, although coach wants all the runs to be real easy this week!

Laurel, Nice run! If it were me I'd do the scheduled run for Thursday, and skip the 7 mile run. If you did the 7 mile run on Thursday, you'd be doing 3 of your longest runs of the week in 4 days. I don't think the ‘taper' will hurt you. You wouldn't want you to start over-working yourself at this stage of the game (or training). Just my 0.02 cents.

Joe, yeah what's the story, I think we should dock you some of your pay! The nerve, staying away from the forum for a day... LOL!

Andahuff, nice run, and way to add resistance to your running; let the air out of the jogger's tires. LOL! Yeah! What I can do is drive down to San Antonio 3-4 days before the race, picking up Runjr, Mary, Monnik, Macd019 should be healed by then, Sheila and Jeff on the way! Maybe even some others! Of course my Honda Civic wouldn't be big enough for all of us, so I could maybe charter a motor coach! LOL. I'm seriously considering the race though...

Misswendy, Good job getting in the run! Too bad about DS, kids, ya gotta love ‘em! Wow, ‘flamin hot cheeto'. I guess that explains all those girls getting off the freeway at Columbus last week! LOL!

Time to go back to work! ‘Talk' to ya tonight. Good luck to everyone running today!

Kevin

Starting to taper for my race Sunday. Did some X-training this week, I try not to run the week before races, rest and recover for race day instead.

Just wanted to try something -- inserting link to Sundays race here in Austin TX,

Hope it works ---> Cap10K race info

Laurel - If temps are warm on race day you may consider carrying some water, just in case.

Chuck - rest up and feel better

Everyone - good training or rest

GG
