Don't worry Evan. You're not old enough for your Old Lady Cane yet. Bill

Twocat, I hope your wife figures out what is going on. Tim, yeah, 7:10 feeling effortless, or whatever you said, holy moly! dg - that would make my day too! 16.27 miles, 65 to 70F, sunny, 10:32 o/a pace. Well, all the shirtless studs running at lunchtime on my regular trail was a bit of a treat. I just never run there that time of day, so I didn't know! It was about 70F when I finished my run, and sunny. Usually I hate the sun, but today I sucked it up and ran in it a lot of the time, thinking about how warm Seafair might be. I was surprised my pace felt really easy, at least for the first 12 miles. I tried to go faster the last 4, and I did, but everything started to get achy, I didn't want to injure something, and it was warmer than I'm used to. I drank 52 oz (about 1.4 litre) and ate a granola bar, and I was still one pound lighter at the end of the run. Amazing.

Surrounded by storms so went to the gym treadmill, tempo run of 3.6 miles in 31:30 at 2% incline. Vista I had a feeling you have been a lead off hitter, I was too many times but strongly preferred batting #2. I was a very good right field hitter and with a good base stealer at 1st I would get a lot of fast balls on the outside corner, and wham! it's 1st & 3rd. Cool

Glad to hear Amy's DH is doing well. Smile

Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.

I haven't posted lately since I'm still on the disabled list. My achilles doesn't hurt badly, but I can still feel twinges. It's been two weeks, so I called my doctor. He's going to have me keep taking high-strength ibuprofen (assuming the blood test I had today for kidney function comes out OK), and send me to PT. I'm glad about that! I hope I get a good person. Last day of school today!! DS15 is having a hard time - he's such a driven kid that he never stops, and all of a sudden, he has nothing to do! He's got plans to study Spanish, finish his Eagle rank, etc., but he's trying to goof off for a couple of days and finding it very challenging. He takes after my father, for sure. My other two kids are having NO problem adjusting! Happy Summer!!

Decided to run a local 5k with a group from work. I was the only one who showed up though Angry

I was really not ready to run a good 5k but was going as support for some newer runners at work. Oh well! 5k 22:44 a 7:20 pace and a 41 second PR ! Got to the 1st mile in 7:05 the second in 14:20 and the last in 22:44 I really slowed on the last mile there is a pretty good hill at the 1/2 mile to go mark and usually I pass quite a few people on this hill but not today. Can't be to disapointed though. I really thought I had a 21:00 5k in me but maybe next time. Larry
