Morning dailies.

jjs22, I also ate a buffalo steak last night and drank a pint of my Mr. Beer stuff that I brewed.

Currently consuming the devil's silly juice. Nice morning at 66 degrees, albeit a little humid. 5 mile pace run this morning (at an 8:30 pace). It was the first day since I got my Garmin that I really went a different route than I've ever gone. I normally travel north/south on my routes, but this time I went east/west. The downside to doing this in the morning is running into the sun.

Have a great day everyone!

MORE GRASTON PLEASE!

Only have 2 appts left - but PT says "we can get more" **evillaugh**

5 days of work in a row are tough.  At least it's not 6.

Have a good day all!

Hello everyone,

I took advantage of the glorious overcast and breezy weather and did some speedy hill running today. 4 miles total. Got a thumbs up from a basketball player from the university who was doing some conditioning, so I must not have looked too rough out there. 

I'll be out of pocket the next couple of days. I'll be away at hell a staff retreat. We'll be at a lodge bordered by mountains and a lake, but we'll be locked up the whole time planning out our next year of work. Why the hell couldn't we just do that in a conference room at work rather than driving an hour and a half away with no internet, I don't know. Every fucking minute of this thing is planned. Three of us on staff are runners and may revolt and do some trail running. *End Rant*

Have a great day!

Morning!  Ran my 6 and getting ready for our annual trip to So Cal, since we're leaving in a few days.  Looks like the weather down there is also perfect for running, though I'm not sure I can bring PT bands, my foam roller, rolling pin, and baseball with me.  DH says bring the bands, the other stuff I'll have to consolidate.

Pink- Glad you're out there building up your miles!

Basya- Hooray for running outside!

Hobbitlegs- Good luck on sneaking away from the retreat!

Sarah - I missed you post earlier.  Good job building up slow and steady.  The TM is perfect for that, not too tempting to overdo it !

Hobbit - We did our "retreat" this year in our conference room instead of a posh getaway.  I think we finished sooner.

Step - That was a downright cruel thing to say about the donuts.  Please let us at least have one !

I've got an overnight trip for work, but I think I'll sneak over to the gym at lunch and work the quads.  I've been neglecting the gym for a while, and I'm starting to feel little twinges of knee pain.  Quad strengthening is the thing that's let me run pain-free this year, so I want to nip it in the bud.

In other news, I exchanged my new trail shoes for 1/2 size bigger.  They didn't have them in the same neon green and grey hideosity, so I had to settle for a pair that actually looks okay.

Nice running, Basya, glad you have some cooler weather.

Congrats on the solid intervals, SIAR.

Sorry about the soreness, Step, but congrats on getting out there today in spite of it.  Only 6 weeks away?  You ARE in marathon mode!

Some nice running there for you, Sarah!  Hotel TM?  You're not at home?  Good thing, probably, cuz the Texas ground now is "baked" so flippin' hard in this heat, it probably would be very hard on your tendon!

then I just kinda bonked.  jj, you ate the wrong kind of steak.  You should have had gazelle steak instead of cow...    Good luck with your overnite trip.

lol, Marjorie.  Congrats on your point-numbers run!

Good luck with PT, MBC.  Umm, it's not Phil giving you your PT, is it?  That would certainly explain the 'get more' thinking,, the way Phil ripped through his own rehab.

Sorry about the niggling PF, RSX.  I find rolling my foot on a golf ball also helps, kinda breaks up all the crap in there.

Way to go on the speedy hill training, Hobbit!  Good luck with your visit to hell the retreat.  What you and the other runners should do, at a particularly very boring part, is give out a little scream, then get up and run circles around your table as fast as you can for a few times. That should break things up a bit.

Happy SRD, Kristin!  Another relaxing day by the pool?  Post photos...

Oski, it's a BOY!

My life is now complete.
