Good morning!

I got up early (if you can call 7:30 early) to get my run in before it got hot here.  No luck, it was already over 75 with high humidity.  I had a really hard time controlling my HR todayespecially when there was no shade.  I did get to run in my new shoes, though!  Anyone else watching HR notice that being gassy can raise your HR?  I hardly saw 140's at all during the first few miles of my run todayeither walking under 140's or running over 150...until I farted.  Then my HR was much more even.  Anyone else?  no?  just me?  LOL

I have to take my almost 5yr old to a check up today, so I should get through the shower and clean up the kiddos, too.

QOD--Ty, I would get the surgery done asap and worry about the b-day later. I would be stressed about the upcoming surgery and all the what-ifs and wouldn't be at ease until it was over and my child was healed or atleast healing. If it's a matter of a day or two before her b-day then wait of course, but if you can get her in a couple weeks before her b-day I would do it.

Happy running everyone!

5 mile tempo run on the TM done!!  Thank goodness it's rainy and my kids are content to play and watch a movie!  I ran the first mile in 9:30 and then three miles at a 8:10 pace and then the last mile at 9:40.  It's so much harder to run on the TM!!

Shoes feel pretty good. I felt my heel slip just the teeniest bit in my right shoe and that is my biggest concern... I'll have to do another run in them to see what the deal is.

Have a good day everyone!

Morning Jeans!

TAMMY~~ Since I finished my HM training, I've been shooting for 20-25/wk, but I think this will be the first week I make it! I really want to get it up to 35/wk SOON!

CJ~~ Hmmm....maybe you should go easy on yourself and make sure you give your body a chance to fight off the bug.  ~_** bug fighting vibes~_***~

OMG, I will create a webpage Ilovemydoctor.com!!!! He is the bestest!! I was surprised I stopped running...lol he didn't expect me to behave  !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!
Well, making a long med explanation short, he gave a cortisone shot to avoid calcification. Yes, I can run. He said I could today if I wanted to, but it's better to give a couple of days, so I might swim and/or walk.

When I am done with DD's mess, he will start investigating my right hip chronic crap. He will see me immediately after one of my LSDs at peak. I just need to give him the day and he will adjust the time issues. He also wants to put me on the TM and come check my form (his office is right beside DH's gym). For that it was kinda funny cuz he said he usually check people after 20/30 minutes on the TM, when the form usually drops, but in my case he will have to give me a couple of hours...lol

He is going to get me through my 3 marathons and make sure I'll be 100% for Umstead50  

Ok, I need to stop talking like a chat machine. I am at the gym drinking a cup of coffee to celebrate the good stuff  !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

I'm slacking today with the shout outs, I know... Sorry... I will get back on track this pm when DD naps, if she naps...

Ty – I missed it – what’s going on with DD?  (((((DD)))))  Good luck on your “lsd” and I hope your hip gets better soon.  QOD – I would have the party before the surgery.

Suds – even if you don’t run a 3:35, you’ll be closer to BQ than I will…but the beer will taste the same. Isn’t it amazing how running in the heat makes beer taste so much better?

Lee – good job on your 3 (hey I made a rhyme) !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!

Fit45 – good job on your 6.5 before breakfast.

Karla – have a great run in spite of the heat & humidity

Shell - …maybe pneumonia – OR you could be allergic to your ex. Badump CHHH!!! (bump bump bump – is this thing on?)

Alemma – sorry about sick DD. ((((((DD))))))) You have such a great aerobic base that missing a few runs shouldn’t hurt you.

Marianne – glad to hear you had a great run!

Andi – good job on your run – and yes rain would be welcome, I bet that felt great!

Hi Abby

Hi Jamaica

Hi everyone else - sorry gotta get to work!

Last night I ran 6 miles at 9 pm. When I started it was 86 deg F, and the heat index was 89 – I was disappointed, I wanted some REAL HEAT. Guess I’ll just have to start running at noon. However, for some reason, my body didn’t allow a pace faster than 10 min/mile except on the last mile which was a 9 min mile. Have any of you noticed the heat slowing you down?

Have a great day everyone!!!

I can't imagine that smoke and heat combo! Do you know anyone else who's running the HM that you can hook up with for training runs? I know I would beg my DH or DS to come with me on the bike for some of my runs when I wasn't motivated...that helped.

The smoke is pretty bad these days because we have 2 fires within 100 miles that are over 40,000 acres now. Course, just like the saying - don't like the weather wait 5 minutes - it is a little breezy but beautiful blue sky now. UGH!

Yes, I have my DH and my running partner but unless I am meeting my running partner - I am the biggest slacker there is... We have essentially 8 full weeks of training left.  In Sept we plan to run a mid-week longer run besides the LSD together so that should help.  Hopefully the smoke will disappear by then.
