Ahhh, time to welcome back the heat. Summer aint over yet.
12.21 miles @ 9:05 avg pace. HR avg at max recovery rate (151). Wanted to take it easy to recover for next weekend and had a well managed run. 9:34, 26, 26, 23,25, 15, 04, 07, 8:59, 52, 21,13. The last 2 miles uphill felt great with the increased pace.

11 miles finished at 8:08 avg with last 3 at 7:45 avg. I swear the wind was blowing from all directions and during my entire run I could smell soy sauce and bacon. Was a craving some salt maybe?
Play the Game Hard!
cbus - hope you get better soon - do you have to wear a cast or boot for that ?
indy - I hear you on the heat - seems like it came back for another week - I wonder how Sept will pan out. Good luck with the mini-taper this week
josh - that's funny - I've craved pizza in past years, but this year I only had one run like that and I was craving a Pepsi
me - ran recovery today 7 miles but forgot to do the strides - I keep forgetting !

Smashy!!!
DTF, yes. I'm currently in a boot. Which I think is good because the doc made it sound like crutches were for worse cases.

I crave pickles a lot in the summer. Definitely attribute that to needing more salt. Lately been craving oats and eggs. Not sure what this means but I try to listen to the cravings!
5 easy @ 8:12 avg pace. Hectic life last couple of days. Will check in again later.
Good morning! 10 TM miles with 6x1 mile repeats and 400 recoveries done. Strength training tonight. Had a little ART on a slightly sore right quad last night at my sports doc. It feels much better today and didn't inhibit my run this morning. I had a "tune up" appointment scheduled to make sure nothing was going to jump up and bite me. Looks like I picked the right day to make it. I'll ice it again tonight. With the SRD tomorrow, it should be good as new on Thursday.
Anyone heard from RVD lately?

I'm still here. Did a slight bad thing to my left calf muscle last Friday. I still feel it when I walk, so probably won't try anything until Thursday at best, and then it will probably just be 3 on the treadmill to see if I feel anything.
Don't know what happened. Last week was my lowest mileage week of the year because of weather missteps, so perhaps I wasn't as stretched out/limber as I should have been. I started picking up the pace after a quarter mile and at about 1 mile I felt a twinge behind my left knee. It felt like a pinched nerve. I kept running but it didn't go away, and at 1.2 miles I felt the sharp pain in my calf. So I stopped and walked the 1.2 miles back to my car. Just playing it by ear.
RVD - Hopefully it is nothing and you are back at it.
I wasn't satisfied with the Chiro appt last week so I booked a "running" orthoped for next Wednesday. My week off of running has NOT been my favorite experience. Stay tuned for better news soon, hopefully

Hi, guys. Busy week at work! Been running and running and working. Nothing much. Will try to post more tomorrow. Have a great night!

Hope you're on the mend soon.

Good morning! SRD for me. Last quality workout tomorrow! Busy day for me. Big project due at work. Then, have to pack for a Labor Day beach trip when I get home. DH and I are leaving tomorrow and coming back Monday. Looking forward to some easy runs on the coast.
RVD: Ugh...sorry to hear that. Hope you are on the mend soon. Is it still painful?
I still feel it. Seems I shouldn't at this point, so maybe it was worse than I thought. I usually give myself a few days after I don't feel it any more before I start running. So, I'll be out for at a least a few more days.
Morning! 8 miles for me tonight.
