7.1 for me! Heading to core class in about an hour.

Eh, run was okay. My legs were heavy and I was feeling all sorts of aches and pains in my legs and feet. This seems to be happening quite frequently when I wear my Ghost shoes. HMMMM. I might try to not wear them next week and see how I feel. Anyway, this ends me at 48 for the week! I am good with that!

I came home yesterday and cleaned this house top to bottom. Who does that on a Friday afternoon?! LOL. Trying to get ready for our guests (Sandy, this makes me laugh because you kept calling Karen and I your guests ). The floors were so dirty!! Looking forward to babysitting - I told my SIL to write me detailed instructions. I have never even changed a diaper before!!! Good thing HCF has.

Susan - Oh man, the class goes through the weekend? Hope you can get home to your DF soon!!

Run4kupcakes - Nice miles! Yay no kidssss!!!!

Tessa - Do you have pictures of the kitties?!

HAPPY WEEKEND! STAY COOL!!!

Morning!  I have 7 and the Pilates I missed last night.  Taking the car to the shop at 10am.

Liz, I don't feel the heat because I never go outside after it hits 85F so in March or so, not even to see the outdoors.  Just send me from one AC place to another.  Currently, it's 96F and 76 dewpoint right now and it's not even 10am.   Nice run.

Sandy, nice 8!

Happy Saturday all.

Lizzie, I hope you enjoy your family and have a great time with Emerson.

Sandy, nice hanging with the fasties for a bit.  I worried about rain today too.

Damaris, glad you are OK after yesterdays fender bender.

Karen, yes, we are supposed to get the rain here too.  It is forecasted for the next 5 days, possibly thunderstorms.

I got out there this morning for a walk, 5 miles.  It was decent out at the start at 80 with clouds and a breeze, popped up to 85 by the end.  Felt good to get out and less stress than trying to force myself to run.  Trying to force it was draining.

I signed up for Bandera 50K yesterday.  I got 20% off so I figured what the heck.  It is the first Saturday in January.  Oddly, I freaked a bit in bed thinking about it.  I will be finishing in the dark - several hours worth.  It is a tough course and the last hill I have to do is a bear.  I can't imagine it the dark.  It is one big loop, so no dropping to the 25K once I start.  Sigh....

Nothing on tap for today, except for the dinner tonight.  So don't want to go...  Maybe get off my duff and clean.

K

Heat?  Nope, not here.  Low 50s and overcast this morning.  Ran 21.2 miles, including a few with my RC.  Other than being a bit bored with the local coastal trail, it was a good run.  No running next weekend since I have aid station duty for Western States.  Have a lot stuff to organize this weekend for the aid station...  but might need a nap first.

Caught the first half and around 20 minutes of the second half of the Iceland - Argentina WC game before my run.  Iceland held Argentina to a 1-1 draw!  WAHOO!  That made my day.

Lizzie, hopefully changing the shoes eliminates the aches and pains.  If it were me, I'd consider skipping the next long run or two so that the niggles go away.  Your race is a good ways off and you don't want to be starting a new training cycle with niggles, ya know?  Have fun with baby E!

Seloc, yikes on the storm!  And temps!  And humidity!  Summer storms are not a thing out here -- we won't see rain again until October and it'll be cold rain.  Seems like warm rain wouldn't be too bad.  Well, until the thunder and lightning start.  Being a lightning conductor doesn't sound fun.  Nice job getting 8 done in crazy conditions.

Damaris, ugh on another rear-ender.  Hope you get your car back soon.

Kat, nice walking miles.  I think just getting out and moving is a win when it's in the 80s.  Can't believe you still don't have your purse back.  

Karen, I think you might have talked more on your run today than I did, and that's hard to do.  Probably a good idea to clue in DH about your absence next weekend.  So he doesn't think you're just on a really, really long run.

Any exciting father's day plans?  I'm doing dinner with my dad and brother & family tomorrow.  DH is away until Thursday.

Enjoy the weekend!

4 sluggish miles this morning. I need to turn into a early morning runner for summer, hah!

With the CD discussion, our house has a built in tape player. I'm sure when the house was built in 1990, this was high end. In the kitchen we have a tape player/radio, but it has multiple speakers throughout the house.

I've tried multiple pairs of Ghosts. The first pair I had about 5 years ago, not sure which version, I liked the best and actually wore them quite a bit. Last pair I got was version 7 and I ran maybe 2 or 3 times in them. I do find them really comfortable for walking around--I wore them when we went to LA and Vegas and were walking 5-10 miles/day.

Rest day for me!

I slept until 8 this morning! That never happens.

So...My brother and his family ended up not coming down yesterday. Baby E woke up yesterday with a fever. They took him to Urgent Care because of his kidney problems - his pediatrician wanted to make sure it wasn't a UTI. They didn't get out of the doctors office until 4pm! Sucks because they were really looking forward to coming down. I think they were actually going to be looking at a house while they were here (they are trying to move to Richmond). We will try and reschedule for another time! I made the comment - THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BECOME A PARENT. Oh, baby E just has an ear infection.

HCF and I ended up hanging out with his sister and going to their community pool. It was fun! Plus, his sister wanted us to tell her kids (the ones we babysat) that we were getting married - in person. It all worked out! We came home and watched Goliath Karen, have you started  watching yet?!

We are heading over to HCF's familys house for Fathers Day today. Should be fun!

Sandy - Nice run yesterday! I think even if you tried to do double digits yesterday you probably would have had to stop due to the storm! Hope you had a nice relaxing day Rainy days are kinda awesome because it gives you an excuse to lay around

Docket - damn, I really hope you get the job on Seattle. Then I will be constantly jealous of your temps. LOL. I would be nervous driving an SUV, too! At least you are getting your car back pretty quickly!

Karen - I had to laugh when I read about your morning yesterday-  “I am pretty much done talking to people for the weekend”. LOL. Understand! Nice miles and extroverting YES! Understand about the shoes!! I have been getting that feeling with the Ghosts but only recently. Laughing at DH not knowing you are leaving next weekend. LOL.

Kathryn - Nice 5 yesterday! Yay for the race sign up! I would be a little nervous about the course too. I have heard reallllyyyy awesome things about that course. Can you practice some night time running? I still get nervous on the mornings I am out there at 3am..

Margaret - 21 miles?! Wow, nice job!! Uh, yes..I hope you got a nap first before you started organizing things OH, I was thinking the same thing about my LR this week. I am going to see how the week goes..but its my last week before training. I may just take it easy on the distances…we will see. If I have a work week like I did last week, I can’t promise anything. Ha. JEALOUS of your temps!!! I didn’t even think about Karen’s DH thinking she is on a really really long run - LOL!!! Have fun today with your family!

Run4kupcakes - Nice sluggish miles You are right about the Ghosts - they are super comfortable. Have you tried the Glycerins?

Kilmisters - Nice Saturday miles! You deserve a relaxing weekend with soccer and beer Good luck on the run today!!! How does mini K like all of this soccer?

Have a great day everyone!

Lizzie, always scary when the little ones are in such situations... They are so vulnerable and can't tell us what is off. Glad to hear it's just an ear infection!

Sandy, ha, that's right; we could send this weather back to Karen/Damaris. I'll pay for DHL.

8.7mi in 81 degrees. Phew. We bought a small garbage bin for post-run ice ''bath'' purposes When you fill it up w freezing water and get in there, it's about knee level. We got some looks at the store while trying to figure out whether it's wide enough to step in w both feet But it was perfect after the warm run. Calves and feet were happy!

Recovery-ish 3.7mi tomorrow. Thanks, Karen!
