Scotty, yes to photos, but I'm trying to move to better climate and I don't think SA is much better than the hellhole I live in.

Ginny, yes, another dinner and drinks.  Yum.

Mitch - that's great news.  Really happy for you.

 

Awood - my best running is when I'm travelling.  It's always so much more fun when you don't know what's around the corner (though in S. Dakota, watch out for the bison and antelope).

 

Bin - sorry you're still coughing.

 

Scotty - is the summer heat finally ending for you all?  We've been in the 70's for a week now, but it's supposed to be 90 tomorrow, then back down to the 70's.   Feels good, but confusing. Enjoy your evening run.

 

Damaris - is your cat still improving?  Have fun with your FE tomorrow.  Another dinner?

 

PADRunner - enjoy your rest.

 

Zelanie - nice shoes.

 

AFM:  I'm still running only once a week.  When I try twice, it hurts (low level) for a couple of days afterwards.  I shouldn't be running at all, but I really miss it and so I keep testing to see if I'm healed yet.  Close, but not yet.

Ginny, I would suggest you do some pool running for a while.  Wear an aquabelt around your waist and run in deep water so you get no impact to your body.  Also, with the resistance of the water as you run, this will help your body rehab too.  You can do an online search on pool running and find all kinds of workouts you can do with pool running that will help keep you from getting bored with it.   I try to pool run about once a week and find it very helpful.

As for our heat, well, we are still in the 90s during the peak part of the day, but at least it's the low 90s, and our 100-degree days seem to be leaving, thank goodness!  And the mornings are getting nice and cooler, in the low 70s, with a dew point usually in the 60s now.  Still the occasional 'sticky' morning but it is a lot better than it was. No more Miami weather, yay!  So Damaris better move here quick to start taking advantage of it! 

Zel: Cool shoes!

Bin: Your workout sounds like mine.

Docket: Where do you want to move?

Tonight I am running 8 miles with 10x100 strides. This is my first "recovery" week of the Pfitz plan so my mileage will be down a bit.

When it rains it pours... DW's car needs brakes and tires. Of course the house AC chooses this week to break down so I have the AC guy coming over this afternoon. Thankfully, the temperature is down to the 90s this week. LOL!!!

Hi everyone else and have a good day.  Gotta run (no pun intended).

Oh, I'm just too far behind to do personals today -- just a few comments.

Mitch, that is great news.  At least it is "only" the Crohn's.  Did I ever mention that my DD, a graduate student in biochemistry, is in a group that studies Crohn's disease?  DD, who has an Analytical Chemistry focus, is working on methods to ID chemical markers for Crohn's.  If she is successful, she will help develop a testing protocol to diagnose the disease without colonoscopy.

Scotty -- how about them Eagles?  I really hope that the Redskins defense is very good, and the first half of last night's game is an indication of what we can expect from Chip Kelly's offense.

DR -- You work in the US Attorney's office, correct?  Are you able to put in an OP to transfer to a different office?  Some of the best weather for running is in the Pacific Northwest.

AFM -- 5 miles at tempo pace last night.  Tonight should be about 7-8 miles at easy pace.

Not that office but the UST instead of USA office.  No.  I would need to apply for an open position and get it.  I asked to be tranferred to Orlando when we moved there for three months 4 years ago and I am still waiting for an answer.

How about Nashville?

Phillie, if she needs guinea pigs, I'm in.

Traci, if you are interested, I can put you in contact to volunteer Rocket City Marathon finish line.

Hi Pengs.  3 indoor track miles today.  Streak at 35.  Taking the week off (unpaid) to recover.  All but one wedding guest is gone (except for DD2 BF, but she can entertain him).  Visited Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee yesterday with BIL/SIL.
