Trey: glad cow's face is working for you Big grin

For the better health of my foot no run today, but strength training: chest/back/shoulders (2/6 slow count) and abs.

6.3 today, on a beautiful, clear fall day. Slight soreness in the leg, I think there will be no running on consecutive days for a while.

Overcast, light drizzle, 58 degrees. Perfect!! I ran 7 miles in 1:16:40, which is a little faster than usual for me. It felt so wonderful! I told my running parter it was one of those days when I felt like a "real" runner. Light step instead of plodding along. My last mile was my fastest, 10:30 (average pace was 10:58). How fun to run 7 miles and feel like it was truly easy. Smile

Beeeeoootiful mostly clear CO morning! Wink

49* F/39% H....3.1 easy paced "recovery" miles for me...which only puts me @ 19 for the week....only minor chatter from hip & feet today - maybe because I did a better job of keeping it down?

Nice 3.9, beautiful day with DW, Daisy and Jojo. It's getting cooler now so the dogs can start coming along and they really like that.

1st run in 12 days. A slow short 3 miles to test my hip flexor. They were getting tight at some points but a little stretch and the tightness/soreness was gone. I was running very gingerly and I would get these little twitches of pain but I think those might have been more psychological than real pain. No soreness at all after the run which is very encouraging. I think the lunges I've been doing have helped the most.

Just finished an amazing workout - I ate 7 meatballs (homemade) and a full bowl of pasta. Whew. Tired. Must rest now.

Such a great athlete you are! What time did you finish Big grin

There's no way I could do that with any kind of training (don't like meat Tongue

. ) Yesterday was a 7K for me with Spooky.

This morning ran a 10K with Spooky. Quite an enjoyable run despite the rain and hail (nothing, bad, just a little annoying). I'll have a shower, than I'm off to pick up a new kitty. I've always had at least one cat ever since I was 19 yo. My last one died over a year ago. I really miss having one. Hope the doggies will like her. The doggies grew up with two cats (both were run over on separate occassions). So I'm not expecting really big problems and the kitty's been a round a dog too, so should be ok.

Here's a fun question for you. Not exercise related. I picked up the new (female) kitten. But I'm not very creative today and can't seem to be able to think of any cute names. Got an idea?

Tenkay? (since you ran 6.2 miles today). My daughter is suggesting Ducky. Confused

Today I began my taper. 13 miles, mostly along the Bay Ridge area of Annapolis. Beautiful roads along the water with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge always visable in the distance. It was 41 degrees when I started, but it seemed like it went up to 50 within a few miles, so I was very overdressed. Other than that, a pretty good run. And now for some yard work. Smile

worked off a few meat balls with a 4 miler - mixed in some easy trails. Absolutely perfect beautiful fall day. little windy...so maybe not perfect, but darn close. I'm still not there yet, recovery continues. Felt kind of rough. It was felt like a hard 4 miles. But alas, little by little... Cheers.

5.6 today and that makes 22 for the week, the most since August. Stupid Hillbilly dogs are getting more aggressive. Maybe one of these days I'll bring along a paintball gun. Ha!
