D (and Dave), sorry you guys are dealing with crappy air and crappy breathing
Well, after last night's hike/slow run and no noticeable soreness or ache afterwards, I felt in good spirits going to bed. I woke up this morning with barely any noticeable ache, when the last few days as soon as I get out of bed I almost fall over because my right leg hurts so much up in the top where the quad meets the pelvis. This morning, it was just a little sore but I foam rolled and then took the doggies to the woods for a very easy 3.2 miles, still a little sore in spots but I am still feeling hopeful that icing and foam rolling is going to keep helping. After getting home from the 15-20 minute drive, I got out the Tahoe and felt nothing whatsoever so even better news

Good morning, all of you beautiful (and sick) people. Today I have a day off from running. BOOOOOO, lame. Got up early with the spousal unit though and hit the pool for some laps. 55 minute, 1 mile slow swim, because that is the only speed I know. I'll get working that. At least my endurance has come a long way. Stopped for gas on the way into work and picked up a delicious GAS STATION coffee.
55 minutes swim = 3 hours run
You forgot to add .
Probably no worse than the Dunkin Donuts coffee that seems to be all you can get anywhere in NE.

Yo. Bad news is I've been up since 3:00; good news is that it's not due to inability to breathe, just normal insomnia. Definitely improved, but not terribly optimistic about being race-ready in 48 hrs. We'll see how it goes. Happy Friday.

But did you have pie for breakfast at least?
Ha. For some reason I did not. I am pretty sure my wife did though, that is automatic for her whenever we have pie.

Crazy weather after work yesterday in San Antonio. I went for a run/walk in Hardberger Park. It was nice until about the halfway point and then BOOM! Thunder and flashes of lightning. Incentive for speedwork, lol. With a half mile to go, it rained on me lightly. After I got back to my car it then REALLY opened up. Good timing, lol. I ended up with 3 miles. The drive home was NUTS. The park is only about 15 minutes from where I live...but it took me an HOUR to get home because of all the crazy traffic - accidents everywhere and traffic lights out all over the place - since I had to take a VERY round-about way to get home. Nutso out there! I was so glad to get home safely!

I want to eat a mountain of food, but have zero idea of what exactly to eat.
AlterG 8. I had a dream (NIGHTMARE) that I went to Israel to run Jerusalem... and apparently forgot to register for the race.

What's more likely is you registering for conflicting events on the same day.
Super B****
That never happens because I always have to check the calendar to make sure it doesn't fall out on some stupid holiday! So I'd notice something like that

because i never shut up ... i blog
I made hummus last night. With jalapenos.

In a pinch, I can usually get a tolerable cup from Speedway believe it or not.
Hmm, if I go Middle Eastern, I can eat a gang of warm fresh bread to go with my meal. That's one way to carb up for some tough weekend running!
I shall run 6-7 later on.
How's the taper going? Mad or glad?
Why is there always smoke in Miami D?
Are you ready to crush your race blue?
Epilating Basya? That's funny.
Only 25.2 more of those 4:45's Step and you could the Olympic marathon. lol
Hi Z. Hill sprints and strides? That's different. Hopefully it goes well for you.
Boon, do you do anything in the pool to simulate open water swimming? Or do you just swim in open water for that?
Can never be too careful Lauren. lol Are you running today?
Have you gone to the doc about your pain FS?
This reminds me of being in Vegas when it rained once, it was total chaos. People were hitting poles and driving off roads and shit, and it wasn't really raining all that hard.
Very glad. Ran 7 miles, easy, and they felt as they are supposed to feel: easy. Pace was 8:15. Checked afterwards, did not mind while running. My legs do not feel springy yet. That might happen after this coming weekend in which I'll only run 16 miles total.
I do get anxiety moments at times, They are not tapered related, but less than 10 days to M day related.
MTA: I get those anxiety moments before I need to talk in front of an audience, before I have to play music in front of people... They will get more frequent as M- day approaches.
