Wake UP!!
1.5 miles with a wet dog
i'm lovin' it... MM#1949
I'm up!
I saw on FB that Peter and I started our long runs today at 6:09 am exactly!
65-77F and sunny but lots of shade in the hilly woods. 17 miles in 2:29:32 (8:48 pace). Ran faster and shirtlless which helped evaporative cooling so sweated 33% less than last weeks 17 miler which was run at 10 min pace! Very enjoyable run. Envisioned running like Ryan Hall (but in slow motion) with short arm swings and relaxed. Best run in a long time. Heat is mental!
Hi Steves.
9.31 miles at 10:52 slooow pace. 71°, which seems warm.
That makes 25.2 for the week, my biggest week since May 17th when I started having problems with my leg. It appears that I'm on the mend, and can begin to plot my fall training plan.
Sounds like there was LOTs of fun in Seattle.

Tammy, congrats on yesterday. Now go for a walk this morning before you get in that car to drive home!
The Saint and I ran a fiveK this morning, very small, low key race, just to help the RD who is a friend. About 120 runners or so. I didn't work hard at it, came to a dead stop at 2.2 miles and waited at the water table for a friend and ran her in. I did the final tenth in 36 seconds however, just to do some work, 27:04 was my not very impressive time. Poor Saint, her hip is hurting and she had to walk part of it. She is still sore from last week's 15-miler. Spareribs

See, this is why I wish I could run a marathon. The friendships and support are the best thing about marathons - the running is like icing on the cake. All the Seattle people are so lucky to have had this experience - it sounds like you all ran a great race, had a great time, and we all know - what happens in Seattle, stays in Seattle.
As for me, 7.5 miles this morning, 10:01 pace in pretty darn nice running conditions for a change - 64° with low humidity and a nice cool breeze.
Everyone have a safe trip home!
Congrats to the Seattle racers...
Up at 5:15am this morning to prepare for the 75 mile ride to a 10k race NE of Cleveland called "run for the hills".
Yes there in fact were hills one of them huge. Not easy to find hills in the Cleveland area but this was run thru a very nice park that has a river with gorge and a creek running through it. Smaller race put on by the local running club with about 180 runners. Rained the whole way there but stopped on our arrival in the parking lot. 65 F cloudy and breezy overall very good conditions for June 28th.
Hopeful of 50:00 finish but expected about 51:00. Actual finish 50:55, no chips so 50:47 by my watch. Good for AG 3rd, I didn't expect that. DW goal of 56:00 came in at 55:08 actual probably about 54:59, surprisingly not good for an AG award. Not bad considering this was our speed work.
Nice break from the marathon training Sunday long run.
A nice easy 3.2 mile recovery run for me this morning - just under 10 minute/mile pace. Stll smiling about the successful Seattle day.
Everyone have a good day.

Initial Seattle reports make it sound like a fantastic weekend and experience for all involved. I'm really anxious to get the more detailed reports. There have been some other great races: wildchild with half pr, ribs and Saint (sorry to hear about the hip) with a nice 5K, and Sarge (AG award) and his wife in their 10K. henrun, I'm glad to hear your doctor says all is well. wildchild, I'd sure be nervous if I saw a bear in my driveway.
Nice long runs for buehrle, fatozzig (trails), and perch.
This morning, it was in the high 60s and humid. I did 4.8 miles in a little over 46minutes for a 9:39 pace.
A good day and good runs for all.

Yea Seattle folk!
Bumming around with some sort of weird feeling in my foot -- seems like something is out of whack, but not from running of course. I think it was too many chores with barefeet and toes superflexed...anyway, it isn't likely to have an effect on my run which is going to be in the surf in a little while.
Bayside and I are taking the kids to the beach to dig in the sand, and we'll take turns getting our runs in....ahhhh! Yes, it is nice to have summer weather finally with us. Sea breeze has taken over the western winds, so we should have no biting flies!
Nice night to all!
Congrats to all our racers especially Tammy on your 1st marathon!!
Congrats CNY on your AG award in VT!!
i just came home from a powerful ACTS HIV/AIDS retreat weekend with a group of the most amazing people!!
13 San Antonians flew up to help us with this retreat -- if they are an indication of all Texans then I want to live there!!
I managed to get up early for a 4mile run Friday morning but that was it ....... plan to get in a decent run tomorrow after i catch up on some sleep before heading back into work for 3 nights in a row!!
GOOD NIGHT Y'ALL!!
