Hi.
I have a fairly important workout scheduled for this morning, but my legs (specifically my hamstrings) are not all that happy with me right now. I am thus torn on what to do.
I suppose I could just start jogging towards the track and if things open up jump into it. If not then I will just run at easy pace in circles around it FFS.
Anyway, what's shakin' bacon?

I find it incredible but I actually need it.
I woke up in the middle of the night with a sore Achilles. WTF??? I wore my marathon shoes on yesterday's run, so I was thinking maybe the drop is not enough, so I think I'll wear the Riders for the marathon, yeah but they're heavier, and so on... then I changed my position in the bed and the pain was gone. I see onemile smiling from here.
I do have a tight hammy, just below my injured butt. That has been recurring soreness for the past 12-13 weeks, and I thought the lowered taper mileage would fix it, but it's not. I would have liked to step on the starting line completely sore-free, but I guess that won't happen.
Weather forecast is indicating lower temps than it was yesterday. Highs in the high 60s instead of low 70s. So there's that.
9 miles this morning - first and last 2 by myself, 5 in the middle with the group.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
0 again. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not.

From the Internet.
Another 3.5 for me this morning. Was chilly when I first stepped out the door, perfect running weather today.
Mmmmm...beer
Good morning!
Yeah, the spelling/pronunciation of Wednesday is horrible, along with many other words in the English language. lol
Skipped my morning run, because sleep. Speed/hills this evening with the group, actually looking forward to it, weird.
Hope everyone has a great day!!

Happy Wennsday! Speaking of legs being not all that happy, I have a hard progression run on The Plan today. However, Coach has given me the green light to FTS if my legs don't feel up to it. So, we shall see.

Super B****
7.1 here... including 2/3 of Sunday's 10K course. With three miles of what we'll call tempo pace, on said course.
WHY AM I GOING TO SUBJECT MYSELF TO THAT HORROR AGAIN?!

because i never shut up ... i blog
Wednesday is an awful word for me. I need to say it out loud as in wed-nes-day before I can spell it properly. I also do not like the word lackadaisical. Not that I have to say or write it often, but I do not like it. Aside from that, I think English is a fun language. Not as beautiful as French or Spanish, but it's witty and practical. I like that.
So, today is my birthday and I only mention it because, after teasing Dave about his new AG, and since I'm about to do the same to Damaris on the 20th, I think it's only fair to expose myself to your derision. So go ahead, make fun of me... Yes, today I turn 50, and gone are the bikinis, the running bras, and the mini-skirts. I promise that from now on, I will behave in a way that befits my venerable age.
I also want to thank you all, and the sport of running as well, for the last 7 years spent in your company. You have all contributed to making my 40s the most fun and exciting decade of my life and I hope it continues well into my 50s. So here's to friendship and running!
For my birthday, my SO bought me a giant fan for running in the garage. Just in time for winter! He also bought me a new black dress and new shoes, but he doesn't know it yet. He'll find out at the end of the month when he gets the statement. It's just what I needed to fit my new conservative fashion style.
14 miles coming up soon. I took the day off.
50 wrinkles for my 50 years, but the happy calves of an experienced runner. I think that's a fair trade-off.
PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013

Happy Birthday Lily!!! Who says you have to be conservative because you hit 50? That's nonsense! I say wear what makes you happy no matter your age!
Happy Birthday, lily!! OWN that new age group!
Thank you, guys!!!

Taper madness! All of it. Have you had a short easy run that you could barely finish yet? Once you have, you'll have completed the process and be ready to kick some butt on Sunday!
Happy birthday, lily!!
