Ball of Fury
Just swimming today. I'm in taper and the spring allergies are killing me. I feel like my head weighs 1,000 pounds and I don't feel like running today so I'm not!LOL Plus since I'm in taper I figured I should cut down on the doubles 3 times/week, which for me means either swim/run or bike/run. For the next 11 days I'm only doing one workout per day. Then on the 12th day I shall run a marathon. Pink and Ami, thinking good running thoughts for both you ladies. Have a good day folks.

Thank you Beth!! I was going to try a short run today but I am still really sore from the cortisone and limping a bit so I did abs and my hip strengthening exercises like a good girl! Hope your allergies are better! Are you going to go all crazy like Taper Bruce...that would be awesome!

The lawn has been mowed. .9 acres in 55 minutes.

3 miles with the running partner, done.
An activity I once actually found great joy in, I now loath with the magnetic pull of a dozen moons!
YAYpril - B-Plus
I ran 3 miles. Halfway through, a little old lady said "Great job! Keep up the good work!" Made my day.
Jess runs for bacon
10.6 miles biking done and a 2.5 mile walk on the TM (so I could get some work done). When I had my last job I always loved the idea of a TM desk, and now that I am on my own I finally realized today I could do it. Execution was a little rough but it was fun.
This year has been particularly bad for some reason. My head has been in a vice for 2 weeks.
I have food, chemical and environmental allergies so some days are really bad.
I've been racing and training pretty much continuously for a long time and ran my first half in 2003,
25 halfs ago. So I guess I'm unusual in that i actually love taper. For me I look at it as a nice little rest
until I start training for the next thing.
And besides after Taper Bruce I don't think anyone else can really do justice to the term Taper
Madness.
So I am at this concert now, and so far I am the oldest person I have seen by at least 25 years.

Geezer! :P
LRB - and that's only PART of the yard. I pay someone else to do the rest of it.. Next time we buy a house - yard maintenance will be examined more closely.
rather be sprinting
Ah yes, lawn mowing. Nicely done. Today I vaccuumed. That is a chore I have always loathed, so I went in with low expectations. Honestly, I'd rather run a 5-mile tempo. And I hate tempos.

OK, just got back from crowd-surfing. I do see someone here slightly less cool than me -- there is a mom in her seat reading her Kindle.
Hahaha.

Is DH seriously working to become a runner? If so, congrats to the both of you!
Running for TJ because he can't.
