Friday the Fourth (Read 48 times)

LRB


    I have a run to get in this morning, a tax appointment at noon, then a massage shorty there afterwards. Stumbling and tumbling across that snow and ice yesterday however, left my legs a pathetic shredded mess, so I might hop on the belt for this one. We'll see...

     

    What up doe?

      Morning!  I have Pilates and 6 tonight.  Most likely on the TM because the high is 87F and I don't want to miss the start of Amazing Race, so there is that.  Ha.

      As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

        Good morning guys.

         

        Lrb...those snowy runs really can be shredders, especially if you try to get a workout in.  After having had a girl I was training get hurt over a winter cycle, I'll always lean towards being conservative on snowy roads, especially for other runners.  Enjoy that massage - should leave you feeling spry again.

         

        Docket...Amazing race? I used to watch, but feel like they've just done too many seasons at this point. My mother loves it though...lets her point and "ooh, I've been there!"  Hope the run and pilates treat you well.

         

        Good double for me yesterday - 6 am miles and then 10 evening ones with 12x30sec fartleks. The evening run was way to fast, but it's okay because today is A FULL REST DAY   I ran every day in February, so I figure a day off isn't a bad thing.  The g/f and I have Cavs tickets tonight, and running this morning wasn't an option because I didn't want 4 consecutive runs (wed. night, thur. am/pm) after the double.  I really don't want to get into the streaking thing right now anyway, so this is good to start over.  Also, if my cutback week is going to resemble anything of a cutback, I really don't need the miles.

          Happy Friday. Something short after work, thinking 4 or so. It snowed but not enough for a delayed opening, which sucks cause I was really looking forward to an extra hour of sleep.

            What is this rest day you speak of? I have 1 mile to run today. Smile

              I remember some of the runs you were doing with her (if it was the same one). I ran strides on Wednesday as well (which were more like 200s), so the two combined is likely why my legs are dead.

                    This morning, I decided to take Jetta for a run on the roads...... it was her first time running with me on the roads and she was a bit stupid but I am sure after a few runs she will be fine. No doubt Rocky wasn't happy about being left at home, but he would have drug behind and just slowed us down.

                    We ran 8 miles, I dressed a little too warmly, blah.

                      I'm assuming you're on the AlterG for rehab, or is it just preventative?  I've always wanted to get on one.  Mind if I ask what the experience is like?

                       

                      Lrb...yeah, that's what I'm referring to.  I'm helping my g/f and another girl with their training now, so definitely don't want to screw it up.  Good work with the strides.  I do my short hills (8-10x10secs), but I want to start including strides to help me for a mile race coming up.

                          Combo, really -- even if I'm completely healthy (not that that ever happens), I run a lot on there because my bones are too crappy for me to get anywhere near the miles I want without it.

                           

                          It's been a while since it's felt weird to me, but I remember that when I first ran on an AlterG (this was back in 2012), it was bizarre because you can feel your feet hitting the treadmill belt, but you aren't really feeling the impact, if that makes any sense.  And you can run super-duper fast and have it feel like a walk in the park.

                              Good morning!

                               

                              I ran 12.2 after-daylight miles this morning.  It got hard at the end and I was glad to get home.  I'm calling it my LR for the week.  I am now going to bottle a batch of beer, and brew another batch.  It's not hard work, but being on my feet for 4-5 hours will finish my legs off.

                               

                              I hope everyone has a great day!

                               

                              Lauren, very sorry about your dog.

                              Also, everyone wish Zelanie a happy birthday.  She turned old today.
