On the road again...
Kudos to Dave on his Crim results last week, and to Bryan for being superhuman in his marathon.
I, a mere mortal, ran 3 miles this morning. Temps were awesome (low 60s) and my easy run was quite a bit faster than what I expected. Hopefully a preview of fall times.
Let's have a great week of runs and laughter.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Thanks for starting us off, Paul!
Great race, Dave! Hey, what does CRIM stand for? Nice job on the pace with no fade, that's really good.
Hope that piriformis or whatever it is clears up soon, Perry. But a run just for fun is a good idea every now and then. Too bad it's because you're hurting, though.
I frequently put body glide under my running bra straps and the band on long runs. And my toes. I didn't do that yesterday though, and got a little chafing reminder for next time. Feet were fine though, blister-wise (as in none). Good thing Dave held up the team name business so I didn't have to. Yesterday's run was 24.5 miles, from the race start up to the 12 mile marker, then back and finishing along the actual finish stretch. A good run I guess, but while I'm out there I always think I'm walking too much, kinda bonked at the end. Only had one Gu and took it just after mile 6. I took it there because I didn't want to carry my water past that point. Nice technical reason, huh? Believe me, by mile 16 I sure wish I'd had at least one more...
Not sure what I'll do today.

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
How about take a nap?
Erika Honey, sometimes you do stoopid stuff. I love you anyways. Sounds like you are ready for Equinox.
6 miles yesterday around the neighborhood for me.
heh
that's what I did
we went to a wedding yesterday evening in NJ and came back this morning. PDR needed to work, but I have a lot more PTO coming to me so I took the day off
decided not to run, as well

4 more miles total at today's XC practice. First meet tomorrow. DS1 has already shaved 6 minutes off his time since we started a month ago, and DS2 has taken off close to 5. Tomorrow's meet is flat compared to the hilly trails where we practice, so I'm expecting to see some astonished looks when they hear their times tomorrow. Granted, they aren't fast, but they are really putting the work in and I'm positive that they'll see the payoff tomorrow.
Erika, I read your post and thought that WAS the race, then realized it was a training run?? What??? Wow.
Rest well, Lou.
6 easy miles early. Good morning!
me, too!!
I had a PR month, not for miles but for duration. Ran slow, I guess.
I'm not having a PR month for mileage or duration. Feels like I'm running a lot, but I guess not that much.
5.6 miles at lunchtime in the sunshine. The angle of the sun has really changed over the last few weeks. It's now at an angle that seems blinding as it comes through the trees on the trail. Hard to see the slick spots before I hit 'em!
That angular change must be marked where you live. That'd be cool to see, at least once
5.9 miles tonight at the gym.
Expect to teach cycle at noon and again at 5 45, legs will be too dead to run.
Early morning for me:
12.2 miles, 1:48:51, 8:54/mi, AHR 154 (75% MHR)
Nice runs for Cash and Lou.
Rest day for me today.
My boys did well in their first XC meet. 2 mile course that was much flatter than where we run everyday, so they had some of their best times. DS1 (#741) ran a 24:41 (he ran a 34:00 less than a month ago) and DS2 (#742) ran it in 28:23 even though he got lost on the course and that added to his distance a bit (he started in the 36 range). They've both improved a ton in one month. Very proud of them!

I thought only triathlons wrote numbers on the arms...
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I did, too, but apparently we were wrong, or the organizers thought that trying to keep track of over 500 middle school runners at one time would feel like a triathlon to them.
