Morning Everyone
Headed over to my local park for a 12mi LR. No tempo today as my legs just weren't feeling it. 7:36avg. Felt pretty easy but the humidity was terrible.
Good Luck SIAR!
Whats everyone up to?

Morning! I am definitely sick, thanks husband. My throat woke up feeling meh, so I won't go to OTF and make it worse. 4 miles tonight.

Good morning!
DR, rest up and get to feeling better.
I rode 54 miles with great weather, low 60s and lower humidity. I would have liked a big weekend ride, but this work week has kicked my ass so hard, that the legs just weren't having it.
Have a great day!

Summer colds suck. Hope you feel better soon
I've had so many health setbacks this year and I'm just trying to run myself back into shape before October's Royal Park Half. I'm not there yet but today is the first time where I can see the goal ahead of me. Right now I'd want to be about 10-11 miles on my long runs at - considering the summer weather - a 9-ish pace. Today I did 9.5 (1.5 miles longer than last week!) at 9:04 (7 seconds/mile faster on a harder course!). So I was faster, ran longer, and stopped a lot less. I still had enough in my tank to run close to a mile of my cool down walk/run so I'm feeling much better about my chances of having a decent showing.
5 flat miles in town so I could seek out shade. After I finished the clouds moved in.

100 mile ride done with wife and friends. 15.5 mph, and the easiest 100 I've done. I could have gone another 50. We stopped for muffins and cookies along the way. Much fun. Waiting for the group to finish their brick run then it's burger time. I swung home to let the dog out in lieu of a brick run.

I've been away for a few days, having taken my family up to Boston for some sightseeing. We stayed across the river in Cambridge and I got in a couple of runs on the path that goes along the river bank (meaning no hills). I ran 9 with 6 at marathon pace yesterday and 8 easy today. The temps weren't bad (low 70's), but the humidity was to high that it seemed almost no perspiration evaporated.
I noticed a mild cultural difference among runners. Here in NJ, it's common to give a brief hand wave when passing runners going the other way. In Boston, the preferred gesture seems to be a thumbs up (though by the end of my run when the path was crowded, very few acknowledgements were exchanged, which I can understand as I'd be waving my hand every 100 yards).

4.9 miles. A "cold" front came through last night, just meant it wasn't super humid. Definitely not cold out.
SIAR, hope the race is going well.

How does the salute to cars go there? In here it’s either one or two middle fingers...
16 miles done. It was mid-60s at the start, near 80 when finished. My injuries are looking better today and running was fine, just a little discomfort, but no pain. The bandages sweated off about halfway through, thankfully I brought extra for when I was done. Iced my knee on the way home just to be safe, but I don’t think it was really necessary.
Ended up with 6 TM miles. Cold has remained mild, but we will see tomorrow.
Sounds like you have made quite a comeback.
