Onemile, did I miss that something happened to your calf?

 

I think a marathon happened to it. 

I don’t miss waking up at 5 to run every day (actually it was sometime between 4 & 5 depending on how many miles I had to do). But I still usually get up around 5 anyway. Then don’t run till mid-late morning. Which was pretty much my weekend schedule before. Actually now my Saturday is a scheduled 5ish wakeup, since I started hooking up with the running group at 7. I figure I can handle it one day a week. It feels sort of like a race morning, because I want to get up early enough to take care of breakfast/coffee/bathroom requirements before the run. Not sure what happens if someone needs a bathroom stop in a group run - does the rest of the group stop, or do they keep moving and you are left to fend for yourself? I suppose it depends on the people. I’d just prefer not to be That Guy, if I can avoid it.

Took the day off from work and did my long run.  19.18 easy.  I'm glad that's done.

 

Is this per schedule from coach, or just doing your own thing? Seems way early in the cycle for it.

The timing is right in line with my last couple of cycles, if not a little behind even.  Technically I had 18 on the schedule for Sunday but I am skiing this weekend so I took today off from work so I would not miss my long run.  19.18 miles was my chosen loop three times.

^ lol. I like how his buddies are literally rolling on the floor.

 

6 miles in the you-know-what. Actually not bad, only rained for the first mile or two. And about 50 degrees, so can’t complain. I like the Weather Channel’s cheery outlook on when we can next expect to see the sun:

bet it makes you long for a gray winter in SE Michigan!

Dave - that would get depressing. I get SADD when there are three days of rain in a row. I wouldn't be happy living in the NW.

I ran 9.5 with 5 at LT. I beat the rain.
