Hip Redux
1.2 miles of run/walk intervals. Not a peep out of the hip. WOOT!
Former Bad Ass
Hi runninggirl!!! My LR is complete. 21 miles at 8:05 pace with zero miles at GMP. I made it a point this week to tire my legs out before the LR, so I'm really happy with my effort today. Good pace and steady throughout the run with no fade. And I am now TIRED. 20 milers on back to back Saturdays isn't ideal, but the alternative was to go four weeks between LR's and that shit wasn't going to happen. This run was a nice confidence boost since I was tired going into it. My 8:21 PR pace is history.

I eat 20 milers for breakfast!!
FYP
Great news!
Thanks!
I'm icing now. Do you know how hard it is to ice your hip joint? It basically requires icing your crotch.
In the 6 or 7 years that I've known Shari, I don't think I remember her ever swearing or saying screw you to anyone. With all those LRs she's been doing, I think she's full of adrenaline and ready to kick ass.
I think I've spent too much time lurking in L&O and seeing the language there. Sorry!
LRB - The problem with any race is that it would mean time to travel and needing someone to watch my son, and I just don't have that available this fall.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
Very nice, Oski!
What is nice? Icing the crotch?
lol
Try frozen mixed vegetables next time, at least you'll have one course of three ready when you're done.

Me too. Although Damaris and Rick, here, have also contributed to my education.
7 more miles, haven't calculated the pace yet. About 61 minutes, so 8:49 or so? Will run 3 or 4 at recovery after supper tonight.

Ah, I get it. We are spoiled around these parts as events are plentiful and usually a 40 minute drive or less away.
As long as you are happy though that is all that matters. Rock on sista!
No one wants to eat crotch vegetables.
I use this contraption with two ice packs - one on the groin, one on the outside of the hip (greater trochanter).
She swears like a mother fucker, while I only swear.
LOL...
