Hey, Aamos! Did you steal my weather? (Please send some of your snow this winter, in return)
Worry no more
Oh, worry no more
There's an open door for you
Interval day for me today.
1.5 mile warm up and then : 6x400m @ 5k pace
7:05, 7:00, 6:50, 6:50, 6:45, 7:00 with 400m rest in between @ 10:00 pace
and then .75 mile cool down
for a total of 5 miles and an average overall pace of 8:40.
Pretty happy with this as it is my first real speed work in a long time. I had a hard time holding a steady stride and was always trying to slow down my pace, I was shooting for 7:00 pace.
gotta get to work I'll have to catch up later

Nice 400's there, Larry. I think you held pace pretty well... look at #5!
Carolyn, your daughter's costume is very nice. What a cool production to be doing now. I can't believe you've got 60's...
My dog did that once awhile ago. DS1 let her out at night to go do her business, then didn't shut the door all the way. She comes and jumps on the door, it opens so she goes back to bed in DS1's room. Problem is, she didn't shut the door and it was -30 outside!! I lost all my houseplants and was very lucky not to have the whole place freeze up. Frozen pipes are no fun.
Just elliptical and weights at lunchtime. Wanted to do more but ran out of time.

Mariposai, I loved following the missing Mariposi/two cat/tet posts of yesterday and today. Have a great time, and a great race.
I got out inbetween storms in the sun, and ran about 4 miles in the woods. Lots of hills, mud, and a couple of creeps in a pickup who said they were cutting wood, but I noticed there was not a chain saw in the truck. Actually, I think they were picking mushrooms, and probably didn't have a license. After they went their way, and I mine, I picked up my pace.
happy wednesday night friends!!
holly - have you heard of physique 57 workouts? i did the express 30 minute version last night borrowed from a friend - it was sooooo tough my muscles were shaking!! bet with all the leg work you do it would be a breeze for you but was a good reminder to me how important cross-training is for our bodies!!
also did a little yoga yesterday at a nursing conference -- it was on the art of healing in nursing and was great!!
today 10.5 miles with some hills in the middle.......picked up the pace for the last 1.5 miles to try and get my brain to convince my legs they really can pick up speed when they're tired!
have a wonderful rest of the week!!

Greetings:
I am back from a conference in Washington DC; just elliptical today, 65 minutes.
I had a couple of decent runs down there. Monday I ran all the monuments, then over Memorial Bridge, up the bike path on the Virginia side, back across the `14th street bridge and back. Hotel was pretty near Capitol hill. I Intended to run for an hour but it was more like 85 minutes...took a while to get back from the river.
Tuesday I got the bright idea to go run on the C & O canal towpath, which required a cab. I got there ( had the cab let me out at the waterfront at the end of K street; apparently he had not heard of the canal) had a decent 7-8 mile run, but then had a very tough time getting a cab back. I ended up walking and running along K Street for quite a while before I finally got a cab. Got to the conference a bit late that day.!
Looks like some good running around here.

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
3.4 miles easy on the treadmill tonight, nice and easy, but up to 3% incline. Felt really good to run tonight.
It's very good to see you Sue
I's love to see the kids' play Wildchild. Nice costume and what we see of the stage looks kewl.
