Seems like a lot of us, including me are coming down with something.
Yes Erika, the weight loss is deliberate. Big initial drop, probably due to water weight.
4 miles on the treadmill last night flat, plus one mile walking at a 10 percent incline.
Want to improve my glute/ hamstring strength so I can get a longer stride. Since we dont have hills, have to use the treadmil to make one.
Not sure if there is a suggested incline or distance to start at, so just guessed. I noticed McMillan coaches even his experienced runners to start with walking not running hills. Not sure how long or how far or how often.
Get better, you guys! No fun being sick in the summer so knock it off.
Cash, I still walk a lot of hills. Your treadmill should have a hill program, and I think it adjusts the speed so when you're climbing it slows the belt, speeding up when you're more level. And anything that works your glutes and calves will help with hills.
Murphy talking about choosing sleep when the baby sleeps is like taking a walk down memory lane. DS2 was such a bad sleeper, he'd wake up a lot and resist naps and bedtime so much. Oy. That kid was exhausting. Now he's a great sleeper (but I've yet to meet a teenage boy who isn't).
High clouds and cooler today, although the forecast still says high of 85° today. I doubt we'll hit that. It's not even 70 yet at 9:37 a.m. I'll get out for a RAL, heading for the hilly trails and hope to get in about 10k.

Hi. Sorry I've been MIA. Was running lots till this week. Last Thursday did three separate runs totally 20 miles. (Need to run 18 for Ragnar.) Then needed some recovery. On vacation this week and having a tough time relaxing, and putting my family first right now. Long story but my DH got a job offer while we are on vacation, and he stressed about what to do. I hate seeing him so miserable about what to do, and just felt better staying close in case he wanted to talk out the pros and cons with me. Today instead of run I had him go on a bike ride with me, but him biking against my road bike isn't such a great workout for me. But alarm clock is set for tomorrow, and am thinking a nice 12 mile run.
ugh. horrible cough and running nose. Storm coming..enough for me to forego the run..sucks.
REST! Really, is not worth it. REST!!!
MTA; Typical for people with little kids to get sick more. Just comes with being a parent. But it does get better. My kids are hardly ever sick. (And me it is just Spring, which my doc said is normal.)
On the road again...
Bryan - nice deadlift.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Hawt and sexy
I'm touching your pants.
I think Murph and I have the same cold.
Taught class tonight, and no energy to run or do anything afterwards.
Should be ok in week or so.
