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 here.
Good morning, everyone. I hope that you have a great day.
I'm on my way to the gym to do weights, push-ups, and ab work. I want to return to bed...
Wsasup peeps!
It is a no running Monday for me but I do have a one hour massage scheduled after work. The masseuse will be surprised to see me for sure as it has been three months to the day since my first and last visit.
That she tried to pull the fuckin' muscles of my bones has not been lost on me, but ultimately, I believe the benefits outweigh the pain so a set I shall grow and go take it like the Boss that I am.
Daz wassup!

Happy Vacation Day Four!! Today will be a little more mellow. Shopping and eating planned.
Yesterday after we ran, we went sailing then had local fish for dinner. I slept hard last night.

Good morning Dailies. 4.6 mile run done earlier this morning.
I've been spending most of my running time on a TM lately. I ran a 5K Saturday that made me realize the importance of toughing it out in the heat and humidity. No more TM for me for a while!
Have a great day...
Running for TJ because he can't.

So as I mentioned last night, here are the pics from my run yesterday afternoon. I ran over the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn into Manhattan, past City Hall, down to the East River and along it for a little less than a mile, through Chinatown to the Manhattan Bridge, over the Manhattan Bridge back to Brooklyn, and then a few miles in Brooklyn Bridge Park, a gorgeous Waterfront park extending from the Manhattan Bridge, under the Brooklyn Bridge, and then down south about another mile.
Ok I decided to be a tourist and ask other tourists to take my pic before starting my run:
Ok so I saw this in Chinatown and it made me laugh..... the old BJs were just too damn expensive!
And finally, I ended at the Brooklyn Bridge Wine Bar, this nice little outdoor bar that also serves food and recovered with a glass of Merlot, a pitcher of water and a grilled cheese:
It was a FANTASTIC 9 miles!!!!!
As for this morning.....When I was running in Brooklyn Bridge Park yesterday I saw a sign that they do free yoga in the park at 7:30 on Mondays in the summer. That sounded like fun, so I decided to take advantage of my day off work and instead of sleeping in (I did that Saturday and Su.day anyway), got my butt up at 6:00am, got on yoga clothes, drove to Brooklyn Bridge Park in traffic, found a parking spot, grabbed my mat, got out of my car and IT STARTED POUUUURRRING!!!! That was NOT IN THE FORECAST!!!! So what did I get for my early adventure to Brooklyn Bridge Park on my first official day of summer break? .....to drive back home in traffic. Awesome. And as soon as I got home? The sun came out. So I am having coffee, and then I am going to head to my gym at 9:00 to try a class I've never taken before, because all the classes in my gym are offered only when I am usually at work. It is a cardio/strength class. We shall see how it goes.....
PRs: 5K- 28:16 (5/5/13) 10K- 1:00:13 (10/27/13) 4M- 41:43 (9/7/13) 15K- 1:34:25 (8/17/13) 10M- 1:56:30 (4/6/14) HM- 2:20:16 (4/13/14) Full- 5:55:33 (11/1/15)
I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
this is why I always say TM running is not the same as outside running.
Good morning Dailies. 4.6 mile run done earlier this morning. I've been spending most of my running time on a TM lately. I ran a 5K Saturday that made me realize the importance of toughing it out in the heat and humidity. No more TM for me for a while! Have a great day...
Oski, ouch. Feel well soon. (I'll make five skirts, four tops, and a dress.)
FreeSoul87, fantastic five. Enjoy that well-earned coffee.
Damaris, yikes, not a good start to a Monday. I hope that trouble is minimal, preferably non-existent.
Robert, bravo on the 4.6.
kristin10185, great pics. Enjoy the class.
