Hi.
Rest day # 2 for me and of course my legs feel great. FFS. I have a massage at 12:30 which might help with things or might not. In either case they are always great so there is that.
So, what's on your schedule today; running or otherwise?
Of course your legs feel great, you were smart and took a rest day yesterday. I hope the massage gets ride of that groin pain and you can finally look at Saturday with confidence, which is what you deserve.
I have 5 or 6 miles at recovery tonight. Last nights's MLR went as expected: not fast, but at an alright effort after Tuesday's intervals. Maybe I will add some short hills in tonight's run.

Good luck on your massage LRB
Have fun with the possible hills Lily.
I got in 6.3 miles this morning, it was 64 degrees and 88% humidity, it just felt blah compared to the last two weeks or so. And I think I am retaining water, my thighs felt larger than usual and were chaffing or maybe that was just the humidity, sweat and no evaporation.
I plan on some push ups throughout the day, and possibly 3-4 miles this evening with Dorian depending on the weather.

Hi all,
I should run some kind of tempo/LT effort at lunch, if I can muster it. That is the aspect of my running I have yet to get to the same level I was before: can't seem to sustain a hardish effort for 20 minutes. I'll give it a shot again today.
Bought the photos. The woman chose two of them, and I chose one.

I like how you call her "the" woman, as opposed to "a" woman... Is that how people speak in the Saguenay (or wherever you are originally from. I can't remember)? Or maybe I just don't go out enough and that's how people talk these days...
So now that you bought your pictures, are you going to put them in a frame, beside your medals on the wall, like a little shrine to yourself? Because most of us end up doing that, you know. Sad, but true...

Good morning then! I ran 5 easy miles before work this morning...nice and easy. I've got a swim lesson after work.

No running today. Strength training class at lunch, then a massage, then go undo the good from the massage with a 90-minute martial arts class. Genius. On the other hand, maybe the massage will loosen up my range of motion in my hips so I can actually get my kicks where they need to be.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.

Good morning!
12 miles. Felt like 15. I'm hungry.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! 8 with 3 around tempo pace. Didn't look at the watch at all, and I was within fairly close to my target pace, 1st mile a bit slow, 2nd mile right on, 3rd mile a bit fast, but pleased overall.

I call her "the woman" only here because she is not my wife, so DW is not correct, and I don't like the SO significant other thing, for no reason. I just prefer the sound of 'the woman' . I could also call her 'the good woman', which sounds all right in English, but once translated in French does not sound as good, although I do employ it sometimes in French, to be funny and get her attention.
Pics? They're going to sit in a folder. I like seeing pics 15-20 years after. My medals sit in the bottom of a drawer, under my running clothes. People who know me already know I run. I don't feel the need to hang that stuff on the wall, for me. But if one of my kids starts running, I'll make or buy a wall mounted medal rack to encourage them.
Barking Mad To Run
After some out-patient minor surgery on Tuesday for a cyst, I ran on Wednesday around 4 pm with Me, Myself, and I. I guess I was still having a bit of a reaction from the surgery and the meds cuz when I started the run, Me was a bit tired. Myself felt a little better after the first mile and actually had a pretty good run. Pushed a bit too hard the last mile though and post run I was a pooped old dog. 3.5 miles done. This morning at 6 a.m., Me, Myself, and I were back at it, in some slow drizzling rain. I guess the run yesterday did help - along with going to bed early last night and getting plenty of rest - because Me felt great this morning starting out. Myself pushed it a bit for the entire run, and after it was all over, I felt really good and back to my usual running self - 3.4 miles done. I did get a bit soaked and the temp was in the flippin' 60s already and the humidity was near 100%...felt like a dang sauna out there! But it's all good, I ran normal - normal for me, lol - and am a happy dog again.

Nice run guys!
You can still say "my better half".
2nd RD in a row. Sort of planned because I knew these would be two tough days to get one in. Yesterday worked a trade show all day, today we are catching a plane to leave town for the weekend. Technically I probably could've had time to run this morning, but would be stressing out the little woman in doing so, so skipping it. Especially since I actually slept fairly well last night, all the way through till 6:30, which feels like noon, and is wonderful. I don't think I have ever had 2 RD's in a row since I started running 6 days, unless injured or recovering.
