We've been struggling to get to bed on time this week.  We have houseguests, and I can't quite bring myself to run off to bed at 9pm and leave them on their own.  So fatigue is building...

 

9.0 miles, slower than Tuesday/Wednesday.  The temps were still cool, but I needed a break. 

 

Denise - I'm so sorry your son is back in the hospital.  I know you must be so worried.  Hopefully he's getting the care he needs to get well or at least better manage his illness.

 

 

PDR.... I feel funny saying this because I know you know what you're doing, but be careful!   fatigue +

"Just completed highest mileage week  (54.1mi) since August '06, just before my hip fracture.  Ruh Roh!"...   double ruh roh.      I just read again about Vit. D in connection with that, but not sure where. 

thanks Perch!

Tammy... do you think they run true to size?

Nice 13 mile mid-week runs from the lot of you.

I'm under a bit of a time crunch so I'm just skimming.  Went climbing with my brother this afternoon after visiting with my niece at the cool new job she has at one of the theatres in Bethesda.  Re climbing I had no stamina (nor strength in my arms or fingers).

While he's more of a fencer and climber than runner, he wore me out this morning -- I only got 7.5 miles out of planned 10.  No problem but we went out too fast and did too many hills.

7.6 miles, 1:01:55, 8:07/mi, AHR 154 (79% MHR)

Hey I finally finished putting together the video of my grandson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w_nS5-h1Uo

2Cat - I got Ribs all straightened out on a future relay. It involves a rooster , or something like that . . .

And maybe properly cooked spaghetti

Back from my lunchtime run, 5.5 miles @ 8:15 avg pace. Slower on the way out, nice tempo on the way back (guess which way has the downhill trend?). I do like the break in the middle of the day this gives me, but of course I'm limited on time so it works best on the Tues/Thurs. shorter runs I do. The gnats were sure thick out there! I was covered when I got back and had several in my eyes. Bleh.

I think Spareribs is full of it. There's no way a relay can be boring!

Awesome video, Lou. That's sure a crowded hospital room! I love how anyone holding a baby does that "baby bounce" thing. Sometimes it's almost like yawning, you see someone do it and you almost start doing it, too!

OK, I want to know who the hell rated this a 2 star????!!!   I'm trying to remember my sign in so I can counteract such injustice!

Yeah  I was wondering about that myself.

I'm late to the game, but that's what happens when you have no internet access all day.  Horrors, I know.  And I  know you all were wondering, "Now where is Leslie?"

{{{Denise}}} - Know that you and your family continue to be in my prayers.

6 sort of sproinky, hilly-with-strides every 10 min miles this a.m.  Tomorrow I can rest or do core work, but no cardio and no strength training.  Orders from Higher Up.  It was a beee-U-tiful morning, with a low lying huge yellowish full moon.  Looked like something straight out of a movie set.  I wish I could've been running toward or with it, but, alas, I needed to go the opposite direction.

I, too, don't know how you guys with kids manage to get up so early to run AND take care of the kiddos.  I can manage the predawn runs 'cause we don't have kids.  Even at that, it takes everything inside me to get up in time so that I'm not late for work.

Well, it's getting late here, so 'nite for now.
