WELCOME TO THE DAILIES THREAD!  

Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc.. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There’s a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners, from injury  to running. We're all a little crazy here, too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you’ll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up, and stay a while (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours.

Good morning everyone!

I want a do over for last week!  Sick, busy, Mother's Day, perfect storm for a low mileage week.  Yeah, I know, a bunch of excuses.  Oh well, back on track this week with a nice 10.6 miles this morning.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning and welcome to another glorious work week!  HOORAY WORK!  Hey, it beats being unemployed, right?  I had a great weekend jam packed with fun stuff.  I even managed some exercise and a treadmill run.

I've got an abbreviated work day today thanks to an afternoon dentist appointment.  I'll be hitting the gym afterwards for some elliptical and a legs workout.

Is it Friday yet?

Good Morning, Flarunner, Dave, Sarah, Baboon, & Robert!  Good Morning, Dailies!

Happy Monday!

I'm heading out for about 6-8 today, a relatively long run considering I've been running 5 and under the last couple of weeks. It's a nice, cool sunny morning here so it should be a nice run. I'll be heading downtown to the riverwalk for this one. Always some nice scenery there.

Good morning all!!

1st day of post marathon recovery after my Mothers Day full.

Planned for 1,500 yard in the pool but hubby had to get to a meeting so only got in

1,000 yards with 10 wonderful minutes in the hot hub afterward.

Have a good day everyone!

6 easy miles first thing this morning wearing tights, gloves, long sleeves, the works. It was only 33*. WTH? And by tomorrow afternoon it will be 86*? This is just messed up.

flarunner- Thanks for kicking things off and I'm thinking you must almost never run in the daylight. Nice job again on the early 6.

Dtothe2nd- Weeks like that happen ... just roll with it and keep plugging away. Nice job on the early 10+ this morning and hopefully this week will be a good one.

Pinktastic- For some reason I picture you with a HUGE wall calendar and a big PINK marker crossing off the days to when the cast comes off. I'm glad to hear you're getting out to the office today and hopefully that trip (and the coffee) will shake out those cabin-fever feelings.

Baboon- Well, I guess I can tell who's got some run-induced endorphins still having their effects from last week. Enjoy your day & workout later this afternoon. (I'd say enjoy the dentist appointment but that seems a bit overkill

Robert31320- Fine work on the early 5+ miles and way to go with keeping the crunches and push-ups going!

RunTomRun- Cool, sunny and along the riverwalk ... that sounds like a great way to extend that morning run. Enjoy your 6-8 miles and the rest of your day as well.

AprilRunner- Woohoo, day one!! I can't remember what plan you decided to do for the marathon training, (I'm thinking it was Pfitz) but make sure make those easy miles (recovery) at a nice and easy pace. Day one won't matter but by day 43, a slow & easy pace is needed for that active recovery.

Just B.S.- I think there's a rule for post-marathons that you're supposed to have a 2:1 time ratio in the hot tub vs swim time. So, you definitely deserved more than 10 minutes soak time.

Docket_Rocket- Enjoy those 9 miles this evening.

MTA for the sneak-ins.

StepbyStep-SH- Those were the same conditions here this morning ... frost covering the grass and I said I'll wait for the sun to run today.

B-Plus- Welcome back! I'm not sure what I would do with a week off ... taper is bad enough.

I got in 10 miles yesterday during the late afternoon while we were visiting my mom for Mother's Day. It was a fun run that was fairly hilly and about a 50/50 mix of roads & trails. It was one of those runs that just flew by and the pace just felt effortless, even though it ended up being a progressive run. Anyway, I have about 5 easy recovery miles on tap for this afternoon ... if I can follow my own advice I just gave to April.

10.8 for me. Travel for work today.
