Mornin' everyone.

Tuesday’s workouts:
RunnerKSA (3.2 early, dark, headlamp miles + 1.8 post retirement party TM miles)
Twocat (7 morning miles)
Holly (7 TM miles)
Fatozzig (5 tiring morning road miles)
Tomwhite (40 min pool run, nb, cf, ris, paw)
Anzlo (EZ 8 morning miles at freezing temps)
Evanflein (35 min/4.02 miles on the elliptical after work + strength training)
Falconfixer (6.5 lunchtime miles at 8:53 pace)
Wildchild (sproinky 5 trail/meadow miles)

Good morning, Mike.

Tet, it’s all a matter of perspective, isn’t it?

Busy week, Tammy. Good luck with the Friday night presentation. You’ll be great.

Yeah, Fatozzig, side planks with leg lifts are a little tougher…

Good decision to move to the pool area, Tomwhite. Yikes!

Good weeklies, Anzlo. And good luck with the digestive issues.

Keep at it, Evanflein, and you’ll get back to ‘easy.’

Smart move to avoid lightning runs, Falconfixer, although they might make you run faster.

Good to know you are making recovery progress, Starr. Moving again after something like that is important, but also hard.

We dodged a bullet, and the worst of today/tonight's nor'easter is going to pass south of us. Sorry, Twocat.

I had a solid night's sleep last night (for a change), and even woke up late (almost 4:30). I headed out for a workout, and had something that felt like a muscle knot in my right glute at the start, but worked through it and had a decent 6.2 mi. RW workout. However, as soon as I stopped, I felt an exquisite pain in my right hip. After stretching, rolling, and lacross-balling, it was (and is) still there. I'm trusting that it'll work itself out as the day goes along. It was so weird that it didn't kick in till as soon as I stopped my workout.

have a greta Wednesday!

26-degrees with WindChill and 2-inches of snow

this morning

will melt off,

but I think I'll call a ''RestDay''

since I got up at 3-AM for No Apparent Reason

Thanks for getting us started, Jay.  Hope that hip behaves.

 

Work is getting in the way of life.......

As it so often can.

10 min on the bike this a.m., followed by 45 min of core/ST.  I'm slowly working my way back to tolerating the bike. So far, so good.

My knees were not happy after yesterday's run, then it dawned on me to look at my shoe mileage.  For whatever reason, I can't get more than 200 to 250 miles out of a pair of shoes.  Time for a new pair!

Happy Wednesday, friends ~~

that's not much mileage Leslie. Have you ever tried getting new insoles to get more life out of your running shoes? 

Will try to get in a run after work tonight. Sports Banquet last night and Senior parent meeting tomorrow night, so really need to squeeze in a run today.

Yikes, jay.

That's downright scary.
Has it ever happened before w/o explanation?
Maybe better see the apnea doctor as I had to do

or, the next thing you know, you'll be sleeping in all day.

Two miles + stairs
Used DW’s quadannual cortisone shot appointment for three more months of happy tennis for her as an excuse for two sunny miles back-and-forth to her doctor’s office under more-and-more pink cherry blossoms all over the place also enjoying the first days of spring in the great PNW too plus up/down the 305 stairs I’m getting to kind of like 

Apnea
Erika - except for nightly dreaming that seems to increase more-and-more the older I get (and that I can usually remember when I wake up one-or-two, occasionally three, times in the middle of the night and then go right back to sleep), because I think I’m sleeping even more than the seven hours they calculated too just fine, when I first read the apnea results, I vowed I’d never go the CPAP route likely to be recommended at a follow-up appointment a week from today but, what-the-heck, with Grandfather Medicare and what’s applicable from the state retirement plan paying for it all, I’ll pretend I don’t care and give it a try. So much for another vow. 

Holy Tetsujin Reruns Batman!

Golden Oldies  -  Thanks Steve, ;. . . .I think.
I’ve been called a lot of things over the years but never anything even close to what I'm hearing every-once-in-a-while between friends herein.  Much appreciated, especially since it applies so much more to everyone else I regard so highly. I’m very lucky to have all your friendships and all of us have each other too.  Maybe change us to the Golden Heart Club.  Doesn’t matter, though, ‘cause we are anyway.  

After missing my Monday run due to brutal windy conditions, I was able to run 10.5 miles yesterday. So, today I made up the 8 mile run I missed on Monday.

Jay - hope that hip pain has alleviated during the day

I worked another double shift yesterday unexpectedly -- had to get to the Fenway garage to get my car out before 10pm and get it to the hospital garage, but I failed!! I tried calling to say I'd be there a little late, but I must have had an old phone number. I even ran hard as I could from about Children's Hospital to Fenway, but the garage was closed. Fortunately there was another number on the door and when I called someone answered right away. It took about 10 minutes for someone to get to me from one of the other MASCO garages, but at least they helped me out. I drove back to the hospital and worked until 11:40 pm -- so over a 16 hour shift!!  I usually don't stay late on Mon or Tues unless I know ahead of time and can park at the hospital because of this - all the other nights, the garage stays open much later!!

Had a great run this morning -- 4.6 with a friend, then continued on to total 12.2 -- my longest run since MCM training and it felt great!!

Unfortunately, I didn't leave myself time to stretch after and rushed off to get my hair beautified!! Then came home and cooked a bunch of food!!

Happy Wednesday, Happy Spring my friends!! I hope we get some springlike weather here in the Northeast some day soon!!

3.8 @ 7:51

I took an unplanned WEEK off. Last Thursday was planned, as a recovery day from speedwork. Friday was a "wth" day because I'd planned to get miles in on the weekend, Saturday my project took longer than planned and butted up against St P's day supply-getting and making the house presentable for guests, Sunday I went back to my project but left after a few hours because I didn't feel well, and spent the rest of the day and most of Monday sick in bed; too bad off to even watch TV. Tuesday off because I still wasn't feeling right, and I almost bagged today, too. As usual, a run cleared my head and I feel better after than before. Looking back, I was kind of dizzy on my runs last week, but the immobility of illness didn't hit me until Sunday. St P's day festivities couldn't have helped, either! ;-)

We have a bug going around here (SF Bay Area), the boy stayed home from school Friday and Monday; but he has a hacking cough, I don't have that.

Weather: we're experiencing a Pineapple Express, warm and rainy. I almost felt like stripping off my shirt on today's run. The reports of "mid to upper 50's" are off by at least 10 degrees, at least where I run.
