'Sup crew!
I know, I know; don't quit my day job. lol
No running for me today but I plan to get some good stretching done before I head off to work where yet another long ass day awaits me.
It has really been busy this week so much so that one would think I that I have been sleeping like a baby, but instead I have been sleeping like a sleepless baby!
Wha 'cha got?
Morning! I have 6-9 miles tonight. It rained the whole afternoon and night so I hope I can find my rental under water.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

What's going on there this morning, Funkmasters! Well it is Friday, so that begs the question of when the first of my staff will call in sick today. Turns out that came last night via text. Why don't these people just ask for the day off in advance? Why the need to call in sick? So already I was irritated and the work day hadn't even started.
I took the last two days off from running for various reasons, but I'll be back at it today. Looking forward to getting the hell out of the office today. werd

Yesterday Dorian and I ran 2.1 with Jumpstart, 91 degrees and sunny...
This morning it was 79 degrees, 82% humidity and a dew point of 70.... it freaking sucked, but I swore I wasn't going to complain about summer this time around. I ran 5.1 miles with an average pace of 10:10 min/mile, so glad to have that over with

5 miles done, just wasn't feeling it so I cut it a lil short. I might double up later, or just save it for my long run tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Who came up with the idea "sleep like a baby" anyway? In my experience, babies tend to sleep for short periods and wake up multiple times in the night. I think around here it should be "I slept like Baboon!"
Despite a late night, since we finally had a morning with no storms, I dragged myself out of bed at 4 a.m. to get out there early. 6.63 miles in 1:02:03 (9:22 average). I threw in some fartleks by time: 3:00/4:00/5:00/4:00/3:00, shooting for a 10k effort - with equal time recovery. Pace for intervals were 8:37, 8:18, 8:21, 7:32, 7:41. The first three were on a slight uphill, the fourth on a downhill, fifth on flat ground.
Core work: 35 crunches, 10 leg raises, planks 15 secs each (regular, side, reverse), 25 hip dips, 25 pushups.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
Good morning RA! I slept in. Thursday: 10 miles 1:35:10 - 9:31 avg. pace - fartlek / 4x800m repeats @ 7:50 pace. Very excellent meeting yesterday! Decided to sleep in this morning before the youngest has a doctor's appointment then off to camp. I'll run this evening after everyone is gone [and hopefully it's much cooler]. Dave, 5 miles is just a warm up! Run inspired runners!

Good morning dailies!
I'm going to be seeing a lot of my running club this weekend. I've got my first Friday night group run of the season tonight, then we have our club relay and picnic tomorrow. Both are a ton of fun, so I'm really looking forward to it! Somewhere in there I have to make a dish for the potluck.
Happy Friday everyone!

YOU GUYS! I have no meetings on my calendar at work. Mon-Thurs I was double and triple booked at times. What am I going to do today with all this free time? Likely goof around in the internet.
I walked 2.2 miles yesterday.

Awesome Friday to all!
10 miles done still 73 dewpoint
Ran by feel and ignored my HR end result: steady at 8:00 min/mile @ 136 HR.
So all good.

FTW!
I have not slept for 10 hours a single day in my life (or even close) yet he does it with regularity!

Only on the weekends, and I usually pay for it with a restless Monday or Tuesday night. I typically get about 7.5 hours during the week. It's weird how some people can operate just fine on a regular schedule of 5-6 hours of sleep. While that's fine for me once in a while, I need at least 7 consistently.

Morning! Legs felt good this morning. Temp was 57 and clear. It was time for some Tempo miles. I went out for 5 total, but I ended up with 6.2 w/ 3 of those at Tempo pace (7:41, 7:41, 7:33). Not too shabby! I actually saw three other runners out there this morning. It's always cool to see other people when you're running fast!

Heh...8:00 min/mile for me puts my heart rate in the 158 range. 136 HR equates to about a 10:30 pace.
