Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
Ran my third set of 15 minuets today. At noon, because I slept till 10. Stupid idea all around. Um, it's hot. And humid. And yucky. And stuff.
Also, I'm a klutz and fell in a hole in my classroom yesterday, so my left ankle is a little tweaked.
Ok, confession There was no hole. I just fell off of the side of my shoe. Which, I would like to add, is a FLAT shoe, of the practically ortho-****-pedic clog variety. So it's not the shoes. It's just me.
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
You're not alone. I almost fell down the stairs at work today and landed on a co-worker. All because I tripped over my shoe, which is also a flat shoe. I guess I just don't know how to walk! The look on her face was priceless and I made quite the ruckus. My boss freaked out b/c he thought I was hurt (I sat at the bottom of the stairs since I was laughing so hard) and would have to file a work comp claim. Even though we deal with work comp claims, he still freaks out.
We are a graceful group.
I have PT tonight, hopefully she will tape my knee again and I'll be able to get at least 4 miles in. I'll do my 7 tomorrow since I won't have enough time tonight. And the tape should still be on tomorrow, so realistically I could have two days of pain free running! I really need to start packing.

Ha! Shades of Phil Esposito.
Anyone else remember that? surely I can't be the only one whose early hockey memories include Phil Esposito tripping over the blue line while being introduced.....

I am a big hockey fan and have heard about that before but never seen it. I am sure it is on YouTube somewhere, I will have to go find it.
I had a 7 mile run this afternoon, at the gym of course. If I tried to run outside today I think they would have called for an ambulance. The heat index is 107 degrees here today, yucky.
On another thread I posted about finding a half marathon before the MCM and I think I found one. There is a Half in Asheville, NC on Sept 13th that seems to be pretty good. My wife has family there so it would eliminate hotel costs which is always a plus. If anyone has run this before please let me know any info about. I know it has some hills but that is to be expected. Thanks!

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
Well it was nice and warm outside with the temps nearing the mid 90's and humidity soaring. I started getting dressed and realized that I left my socks at home. My hat stunk like my high school cross country clothes and I was taken back to yester years of running when I was fast and enjoyed the agony of a solid workout. Wait that was yesterday not yester years. I got dressed and headed out. I ran 2 4.5 mile loops. The first loop I completed in 36:30 and the second was 36:04. I then went and played dodgeball with the Marines. All in all it was a wonderful workout. I had a great 9 miles on the road. It was hoit and I was feeling it towrds the end. I finished just a bit above an 8 minute/mile pace. This is in my theory a 7:15-7:30/ mile pace due to the heat. I was thinking the whole way that in a month and a half it might start to cool off. Hope others are enjoying their runs the way I am mine.

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
Hey all, I was out running at 4am this morning due to some insomnia. Put in 7 miles as scheduled. I kept it low and slow. I finished the run in 1:12:38. I liked the slow steady pace and hope to maintain that for the MCM. Stars were out bright and a great blue heron was making a racket off by the nearby stream. God awful noise. Temp was 73 degrees with very high humidity. I was pleased with the run.
Good job, everyone, on your training today.

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
| Kris~ Good run. I finished my 9 miles in 1:12:34 seconds. This is cool that our times were so close. I was crfuising the pace while you were keeping it nice and slow. Good job! I still think it is cool that our times were only seconds off of each other! |

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
I got 90 minutes of cross training in, 35 minutes on the elliptical, 35 minutes on the Lifecycle and 20 minutes on the stair stepper. My leg still is sore from yesterday's run and I may just do cross training for the next two days prior to my race on Saturday.
Keep up the good work you all!

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
I ran 7 miles at 7 pm. Didn't look at my Garmin (only put it on to track mileage), tried a new route with some nasty hills (totally unintentional) and came in at 1:11:33 (10:14 pace). It was nice to just take it easy and forget about goals and pace.

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
Just finished an interval workout on the treadmill. After a half mile warmup, I ran six 880s @ a 7:00 min / mile pace with 90 second recovery intervals. I will try to get m cross training workout in before my meeting starts on the morning. My long run this weekend will be 13 miles again, only I will be running it in Denver. Talk to you soon.

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
Did 4 miles today, took it easy as my knee was still hurting a bit after PT. Got it taped again and that seemed to help a ton. Will keep it on for tomorrow's run as well. Finished at a 9:58 pace, which was fine by me, my legs got a workout before hand. I ran right after a storm and it was buggy out. My shirt had all these little bugs stuck on it, which totally grossed me out. Also got a bug in the eye around mile 3, that's no fun!
Week's half over!

Re: Wednesday's Run/Training
I finished an hour with the trainer today. I spent 20 minutes of it on the treadmill. I ran for 10 minutes for the first time. I can't go any faster than 4.7 mph (just under a 13 minute pace) without pain, and even at that pace I'm having a lot of tingling and numbness. Back to the Dr. in two more weeks.
