2.6 miles with Mutt Mutt today. First mile and half not bad an easy 9:24 pace. Then she got tired and pace went to 9 43 then to 10 33 for last 2/3 of a mile.
She has been napping ever since we got home. Calves acted up again at mile 2.5.
Taught cycle in morning and evening yesterday. One of my regulars came in, and she was so blitzed that she had to have her son drop her off at the gym and husband pick her up afterwards. Dunno why she had a need to exercise when she was that drunk.
At least she knew not to drive, have to give her credit for that.

No kidding! Very similar. Yours looks a little lighter (which I probably like better). We went with the standard Home Depot tile. They had a deco that looked something like that but opted for something slightly simpler.
Same gray grout too. I like the edge detail on the right.
But do you have a bunny?
NICE Dave!!! Looks kinda familiar
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com

Nice tile work Dave! Wish I were that handy.

Forest Fires in Alaska
Although the "slideshow" doesn't work, the two photos on the article page are neat -- the lower one is stunning.
Swam in pool for first time in months -- just to practice flipturns -- went ok -- 1000m of straight freestyle in short pool, and didn't get particularly tired by the flipturns -- that was a good discovery, as sometimes in the past they've made me too tired.
Bugs: Am doing the local tri next weekend, and it is a sprint: 750m/13m/5K
PS: Wasn't that hot here tonight, but I came in soaked -- Crystal tells me that that is cause it is extremely humid.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Amazing story about the fires, Erika
Nice tile (and bunny) Dave
Got 7 in this morning, barely. Couldn't run fast at all. Not tolerating the heat at all yet.

I ran home from work, sort of. DH picked me up and took me to my parents' house, then I ran most of the way home, with him picking me up on the last hill to home. 6 miles total, windy hilly run but felt pretty good. Legs felt stiff and tired though, and I had to remind myself that my two days "off" weren't rest days, but hard garden work. So it was all good. Grilling blue cheese burgers tonight over mesquite. Yum. Oh, something cool... the wind was pretty strong this evening and had changed direction so the smoke was virtually all gone! But when I was finishing my run, I go down this cool hill and have a view of the whole valley, and could see the smoke rolling back in like a fog bank in San Francisco. Pretty wild.
Hawt and sexy
Ok, I am checking in.
I had to take a couple of days off of running to get used to the heat.
I am trying to talk myself out of buying about $300 off yarn worth about 3 times that. But I use it so I don't know.
I got my costumes for my running year.
Dilled beans? That just sounds good.
I got new stuff for what may become my business. If not, i tried dammit.
I think I should train.
I'm touching your pants.
On the road again...
W - that's a lot of yarn.
Sticky run this morning. 50 minutes, slow and easy.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

Today I finally had a run in the heat which wasn't slow as molasses. Maybe I'm starting to get acclimated to the heat or maybe it was the 12 oz of gatorade I had before starting. 69°F and 96% humidity.
8.2 miles @ 8:14/mi
Yesterday was a busy day for me. I subbed, then taught piano, then did some personal training. All 3 of my part time jobs on the same day. I called it a perfect storm.
I ran 4 easy last night and will run 7 today. It's getting hot out there already.
Glad to hear your run went well, Lou. The Gatorade probably helped.
Sorry to hear your calves were acting up again, Cash. Yesterday, I did some calf strengthening exercises and I realized how weak they had become. So, I hope that if I just stick with those that I can get my strength back and no longer have issues.
Right now, I've got 2 toenails that want to come off but haven't come off all the way yet. Just in time for summer.

Good way to start the day.
Nice run, Paul. It's always fun to end a run so fast, especially with friends.
Went to the track tonight for the first time in awhile. Ran 800 repeats- loved it and realized how much I've missed track workouts.
Did 5 of them in the 3:40 range, with the last one at 3:35- happy with that. Love that almost gonna puke feeling.
Didn't get out until after 8 this morning and it was steamy. Already 80F and over 80% humidity. Still got in a little under 5 miles, but the last 2 miles were not as easy as they should have been.
Today's the last day of school for my kids. Half day today and then they're free!
