Wednesday - 6.08 Miles - 51:24 (8:27) Avg HR 126 Max HR 139 - 74 degrees and low humidity - this was a relatively easy one for me today.

I think I wanna temporarily run away from my life . . . .you wanna come with Erika? Seems we both could use an escape for a bit. Maybe we could go do something crazy, like take a latin class for the fun of it.

Please, could I come? There's similarly some carpy things going on here I could use a break from, AND Borger there in Florida is seemingly happy to have us. (Let's wait until storms pass over, tho ). Only my high school Latin teacher said I recited with a "western" accent . I'd just moved to the Boston area from Detroit. grins, A

This is a late post for a morning run. My wife and I took her dad (94 years old) to have lunch with his younger brother (age 90) and younger sister (age 87). We enjoyed the lunch and company as much as they did. DH, I'm glad to hear your teaching career got off to a good start. I hope the next 9 months go as well. jlynne, congrats on the 1000 miles for the year to date and a new distance PR for every mile from here on out. perch, sorry to hear about your leg problems. I hope you caught it in time and the time off takes care of it. Nice races for lame, tet, enke, Twocat and Aamos. Twocat, your comments about injuries were very good. hallar, I hope your leg/calf/AT problems are short lived. Take care of it. Sue, it sounds like you got a good fitness evaluation. DickyG, congrats to you and your softball team. Nice long runs for slogino,Peter, breger, Twocat, CNY, and deez (and a great attitude). Good job on the speedwork forTall, BC, maine, and busi. This morning, it was in the low to mid 60s and calm. I got in 6 miles in a bit over 58 minutes for a 9:41 pace. It felt a little hard, but I got it done. A good day and good runs for all. TomS

Tim, on one run of mine there's a flock of chickens that come to the road to greet me....problem is, it's at the top of a pretty demanding hill (rises 350' in a mile).....so I'm always winded and empty handed when they say hello. Lots of deer around here....but I've never gotten that close to one. 9.8 miles today, late, sluggish run, 1:31:34.....took me about three miles to feel warmed up, but got a nice sunset out of it. Later, Walt

Running Club night--prolly pushed it too much after race on Monday, but felt peppy! 6 miles in 46:30, and the first 3 were slower: 8:30/8:07/7:54/7:22/7:32/7:07 158 AHR, got up to 180. Sox come from behind and sweep the Orioles! grins, A ps: our little guy Pedroia hit clean up this weekend and drew an intentional pass--the opposing pitcher said later: "first time I ever walked a Jockey!."

Tim, kewl run with the deer. It's good to read a post from you Tammy. Scheduled rest day. There was nothing heavy at work, however, my back is tweeked. Must be from bouncing around in the truck.
