yikes craney, you are fast! Here's me: I just did a brick! It was pouring rain at 0500 so we didn't meet for our 0520 run. I decided to go to the rec. center before work. All the treadmills will taken so I got on a bike. I kept it at above 90 rpm and got 10.17 miles in 30 minutes. I quickly wiped down the bike with disinfectant and ran to the board and signed up for TM #9 (my favorite, as it is on the end so I only sweat on one other client...not bilaterally). T1 was well under 2 minutes, close to 1 minute I bet. Started modestly at 6 mph and then leveled off at 6.4 and 6.5 mph. (at .5% incline) 3.37 miles in 32 minutes. Then I felt pretty dizzy, saw a few stars, but managed to guzzle some orange gatorade and wipe down the machine before heading to the track above the basketball courts to walk it out. Just think, if I was a swimmer...

Rose. get rowing!!! you've got plenty of time. I'll pick you up on the dock. whoo hoo a brick

Hip Hip Hooray Teresa! Bill

Nothing for me today. (Disclaimer - it's not my cat. I just liked the photo.)

After our NY trip and standing up yesterday for about 4 hours on the GMA set, I decided maybe today was not the day to walk. My back is aching quite a bit. Will walk tomorrow.

Breger, I copied you today. Did a recovery pace 5.22 miles @ 11:20 pace because I have my last speed workout tomorrow and I want to make the most of it. Near the end of my run I came upon the same cat from weeks ago that wanted some petting, and I was more than happy to stop and oblige her. My cold is gone, my chills are gone, my daughter is finally better after being off school 4 days last week, so I am optimistic the sproink is soon to return. Nice Brick LaVita, you are always so funny.

Sitting in the Boston airport getting ready to board the loooong flight back to home, starting with 5+ hours to Seattle. Do I know how to spend a rest day or what? Twocat, how right you are on the heat for the second wave of runners, and the comments on the T. I am sporting quite a sunburn on my shoulders and right arm, and had to stop at almost every water stop (which I usually don't do). I saw lots of people near the end suffering obvious dehydration... one guy was sort of staggering along, and I don't think there were any medical crew until the finish. I wonder what happened to him... My DH got stuck on the D train trying to get to the finish... I waited for him for what seemed an eternity, in dire need of a shower! It was all ok in the end though, because if he'd been right there and we'd gone back to the hotel, we would've missed the Rock Bottom gathering of a large group of masters runners, it was great! Ok, time to shut 'er down and get ready to board. See you all tomorrow... I'll be back at work in the afternoon. (probably just long enough to go thru the in-box of e-mail)

Evening all, Good running and workouts today and even a brick! Cool. Also some good resting---good decision Two Cat---I know you'll be back. I walked the dog this morning for my exercise and was doing okay until he decided to behave like a beagle puppy and go after some rabbits.....Whoa.....like a weeble that wobbles but won't fall down, I got hauled down the street. Thank goodness he remembered that he is 13 and has no business doing the puppy thing. Yeesh! Two mile walk and felt okay---stiff quads, but not horrible (wait until tomorrow though and that 48 hour delay!) Shout out to Teresa---knocking down those mileage PRs. Fabulous! Thank you all again for the support and good cheer. I had a half-day staff meeting at our office in Albany (Latham), NY today and haven't had a chance to let it all sink in. I did watch the televised version of the Boston marathon last night---amazing women's finish. The photo galleries in the on-line version of the Boston Globe (boston.com) are pretty cool as well. Will there be a way to track all the Eugene folks? That would be fun and coming soon! The guys are at little league practice and if they don't get home soon, I am going to eat ice cream for dinner. Okay not really. Over and out Karin
