Morning Gang It is a beautiful day here, blue sunny skies, people out walking on the Centurian Way, cycling and me and Woody bobbing along. Yesterday I tried 5m MP 10:30 but ran 10:23 AHR 159 76% Today 6m 10:55 AHR 153 72% Good Runs All Roy

Good Morning! 10 easy-paced miles for me this morning in 19 degrees with 30-44mph winds (ave pace 10:09, ave HR 132). Quite exhilarating, actually, being buffeted by the wind, listening to it roaring through the trees, dodging stray trashcan lids and cans of tuna. Yup. I actually encountered an unopened can of tuna, on it’s side, rolling down the street. I rounded a corner and had to sort of hop-skip over it. My legs felt surprisingly good, considering yesterday’s LR and last night’s overindulgences. I hadn’t realized that around-the-world beer samplers were so effective for carbloading.

Good morning -- have to post quicklly as we're going out to breakfast with dawndaughter2 for her birthday. Workout: Target(distance) w/u(1), 9:25(2), 9:00(3), 8:35(3), 8:15-7:50(3). Actual(HR) 9:07(131), 8:51(139), 8:24(147), 7:39(162). A little bit of snow and windy, but not as bad as predicted. Overall: 12.2 miles, 1:44 Good runs. Watch out for tuna cans!

Hi Folks, I should be at the start area of the Hampton Half-Marathon (Hampton,NH) right now, but it wasn't to be. I am sort of blue, but everything happens for a reason. My running pal ---who was driving us, since her parents live up there---was sick all night with fever, chills and much stomach distress. I was all set to go solo when Mr. CNYrunner said that while he is always supportive of my running adventures, he would worry all day. It's a more than 2 hour drive and there is a snow and wind advisory all along the route I would travel. The forecast calls for heavy snow and wind gusts of 40-45 mph where I am (it is snowing now in fact) and heavy rain, thunder and wind up along the NH coast. BLAH! So, I bagged the race and hope I won't regret that. Not to be a complete wuss, I ran 16.4 miles at 8 AM---2:23, slushy, slopping and mega-hills. It was a good workout after all even if I don't have a new tech shirt and some race memories to show for it. Now I have more time with my guys here at home and that's just as well. Best laid plans of mice and men and all that....! Enjoy the day---especially all you IRC folks. CNY

Good morning to all. judging by the runs posted so far, the reason that so few have posted must be that they're still out on the road. I'll do for the daily what I do for the monthly; lower the average--3.2 miles in 28:14 at 7am. I would have liked to go farther, but this was sort of a shakedown run after all my complaints of the past week. Woke up with nothing hurting after thinking that I would need to take some days off after Friday's run. No aches or pains during or after. I can see that the stretching for the shins was helping and getting better, but what felt like a pulled/strained muscle in my butt just (apparently) going away is confusing. Guess I better not look a gift horse in the mouth (or any other part of its anatomy About 2" of nice wet snow on the ground, no wind, and 34F so another day of PRC. (I'm going to see if I can make this part of the running acronym lexicon__Pleasant Running Conditions) great long runs for everyone today. Hope I'll be able to go farther next week. Kevin

Walked the Duke Trail this morning with a few friends. Could have been a little faster.

Munch, somehow I think your pace was just fine. Ok, hats off to all you folks running in the wind. I'm very impressed. I'll take cold before wind, anyday. -45 downtown... ?? It's -12 here at home. That's one heck of an inversion! I wonder how deep it is... meaning, how far down the road can I go before I hit the really cold stuff..... Hmmm, I guess I'll let the sun come up a bit more before venturing out, although I can see the bird feeder swinging in the... what's that?... wind?? Oh ick. I really don't want to do 17 miles on a treadmill today.... CNYrunner, I think that was a good call. Perch, nice run! I sure wish I could figure out how to get my Garmin stuff loaded so I can show elevations. SportTracks doesn't work with the mac. Should check out MotionBased.com I guess. I hear that works pretty well...
