wow bugs nice triathalon! hehe I'm feeling ok. Had a little more energy then recent days, but as I say that I'm remembering my afternoon nap. Tomorrow I test. If nothing then I'm calling the doctor. Regardless I'm getting back to running tomorrow. I go back to work (meetings no kids) and I'm going to run after school. So keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!

Keeping fingers crossed for Shan... Nice run, Bugs. Fun stuff afterwards. I'm so glad my kids are over the McDonald's play land thing. But then again, at 14 and 16, I'd sure hope they're over it! I need to paint some stuff around here... Dave, my long runs frequently end up like that. Unless I plan for a downhill finish. It all counts as training, next time will be better. P2R, I don't do the heart rate training either, but probably should. My max HR is pretty high, so all my numbers seem pretty whacked. Easier to just not look. I do run by feel though, using a perceived rate of effort (or is it exhaustion?), or PRE scale type thing. Try to keep things around 6-8 for my max effort, but some of this hill work I'm doing has me at 10 I'm sure. My 5k yesterday was pretty hard. My foot was sore when I got up, which is strange cuz I took Friday "off" and actually did some pool running, which my foot usually likes. The race was really hilly. And the course was short by about .4 mile or so, depending on whose Garmin you used. My time was 22:17, so I know it wasn't 5k. I had to stop a couple times to stretch, flex my foot, not that it helped any. 2nd in AG, but the gal who won my AG just turned 45 last month! Rats. Oh well, it's all good. Except my foot. 14.4 miles today, and a short week it was for miles. 38.1, that's the fewest I've done in weeks. Bugs, I've never done 60, come close at 57 something, but I think my foot would fall off at 60! Icing my foot now... It hurts. This sucks.

Sorry to hear that Shan. Something doesnt sound right. Note to self: don't do any triathlons organized by Bugs. Painting and McDonalds arent where I want to be right now.

it's ok! I'm just going to go with it and see what next month holds... Women's body's are tricky sensitive pieces of work! wonderfully sophisticated works of art.

Fixed that for you. Glad your 4 felt better. 10lbs in a month is a big weight loss. Could leave you feeling weak in addition to the impact on your girl parts After Sunday's long run, I thought it would be better to get right back on the horse, so to speak. 5 today in really hot weather. Cold front coming through tonight (for you too, Shan). Rest of the week should be nice.
