Cool Running for the Week of October 27th

[Lyssie]

I am such a dork. I didn't get out running today, I went out to my car to go to the grocery (because I have learned I need to eat before running), and found a dead battery. SO spent the afternoon dealing with that instead of being out. By the time I got home from the grocery it was already getting dark... I suppose there is always tomorrow.

Lyssie ... Girlie, there is always tomorrow. I know you'll be right back at it!

As for me, TOMORROW is my day as well because tonight was spent VOTING.

I went out tonight, it was rainy and cold (love the PA/NJ weather), so did sprints for a couple miles on a track, then was cold and grumpy so I returned home.

I finally tracked 100+ miles running with Nike+ though!!

[Lyssie]

So I went for a 7 mile run today (I need to figure out distances before going places).

How was your bike ride, Betty?

Lyssie, nice job on the 7 miler.

I haven't run in a couple of weeks. Huge project at work finished up and required ridiculous hours (lots of doubles, etc.)

My first run in a while, today, was a 20 miler. Tomorrow will be off, then another 20 miler on Sunday. The schedule called for 45 miles spread through the week with a 20 miler on Sunday. That obviously didn't happen. Normally, I wouldn't try to put 2 long runs so close together, but I need to get the miles in. This is the last high mileage week of the marathon training program. Next week starts the taper.

Real sore.


Where is everyone?

Good job! 20 miles is such a scary thought for me.

I did 2.5 yesterday but then it started pouring. I'm going to try to do a long one tomorrow - the half marathon is next Sunday.

[BigRunner]

5 miles in.

Good luck on your half marathon Lyssie.
Can't wait for the race report.

It's going to be cold, I went for 8.5 miles Monday.. it was going to be 13, but just too cold and it got dark too fast. The weather is supposed to be like, 40 degrees on Sunday. eek. On the bright side, I'm no longer worried about getting too hot wearing a sweatshirt.

[BigRunner]

10 miles in. Frigid.
