WELCOME TO THE DAILIES THREAD!
Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc.. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There’s a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners, from injury to running. We're all a little crazy here, too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you’ll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up, and stay a while (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours.
Good morning, everyone!
I had my frappe about forty-five minutes ago. I took a Mucinex D last night, to help with the congestion. I've waiting for some boiled water to cool, so that I can make a saline solution for my neti pot. My goal is to be able to breathe well enough to avoid another side stitch when I head out in about half an hour.
I didn't do ab work after I tucked my friend's six-year-old into bed last night. I lost track of time talking to her eleven-year-old, who's just all-around cool. I did my ab work after returning home. I was tired. I didn't finish ab work and push-ups until 11:40.
See y'all later.
And you're up already this morning? That's a short night, Basya! I hope the meds+neti pot do the trick!
I'm trying to get some work done before the rest of the day starts. I'll run a couple miles and do a strength training class later at the Y, then the plan is for lots of housecleaning later. Hopefully DS will help out without too much fussing. If we get it all done, I'll offer a nature hike as incentive since temps will be a bit cooler today.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
Run to live; live to run
Morning. I haven't run yet. Need to get my butt out the door. Been goofing off here too long this am.
Basya thanks for starting us off.

Morning Basya, Step, Marjorie.
Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. Planned Mon AM yoga but had insomnia; at about 2:30 AM I decided I did not want to wake up at 5:30, so ended up making it a RD. So you'd think I'd be able to sleep last night, but no; up till about 2. Still got up at 6 anyway & ran 4.4. Beautiful morning after t-storms last night.
Have a great day everyone.

Good Tuesdailies morning! I ran 11 hilly miles at 9:40 pace in 85 degree heat yesterday. I ain't gonna lie...that was an ass kicker. All of the uphill was in the middle four miles and it put a hurting on me. I'm glad I got it done though.
It was kind of an interesting run. There was a car-hits-house (barber shop) accident about a half mile into my run, which resulted in a natural gas leak. I could smell the gas as I ran on the bike path behind the buildings. The road (a main road) was shut down and all traffic was diverted to other roads. Since this was during the evening rush hour, it caused all kinds of hell on the detour roads. About half of my run is on the bike path so the traffic didn't affect me, but it was bumper to bumper when I was on the road, and naturally cars like to drift onto the shoulder to see the traffic up ahead. It was pissing me off. When I finally got back on the bike path and was about a quarter mile from my car, the path was blocked by traffic cones and a cop. That's not something I'm used to seeing on the bike path. I explained to the cop that I was parked *right there* and she let me run through. I still don't know how the hell the car hit the building. It's a busy intersection where five roads come together and traffic usually goes pretty slow through there. I can only imagine what the driver was doing moving that fast and losing control enough to slam into a house that's about 20 feet off the road totaling the vehicle.

Edit: Yesterday's run profile. Not a terribly hilly route but it is when you have not run a lot of hills in six months.
