Good Morning Friends!! I have never been the first to post in the am!

Where is everyone? out for your morning runs I hope before it gets to be too blastin' hot!

I had a great 5 mile run last night! Did intervals after I finished 5K, lost count of how many I did but I felt good. My knees gave out after 5 miles so I finished up there.

Can I just say how well that fan is working out? I was so comfortable during the entire run - why I didn't think of that before I have no idea!! Another testimonial to how MFP has improved my life!! :drinker:

Hope everyone has a SUPER FANTASTIC day today! :flowerforyou:

    Hi there

    Great job Kelly!

    I ran 3 miles bright and early this morning. It is hot and humid early here in the south. I think of the heat and humidity as more resistance to my workout.:ohwell:

    Enjoy the day

    Welp....I just finished 7 miles. I haven't been that far in a while and I just wanted to prove to myself that I could still do it! No kiddos at home right now, so I had plenty of time. I'm thinking about taking my oldest daughter to the pool when she gets home this afternoon. Glad I went foraging for supplies this morning. Seems like I'll be able to eat a bunch of them!:flowerforyou:

    posting this in both our club boards just n case...

    HEY MFP Friends!!

    did you all see the post yesterday about the Nike + program?

    so I went online and registered last night, this is a pretty cool thing! Does anyone else use this? Unfortunately I was already done with my run when I read the thread but I will be starting tonight! I think you have to have an Ipod to use it. I am not sure if it syncs with other mp3 players or not.

    I remember seeing posts about the Human Race but forgot about it till I saw it on the site. It is a race on 8/31/08 that is going to be run simultaneously in 25 cities across the country. Perhaps this should be Club goal? Look into it and let me know what y'all (that is for you kechie!) think!

    I wrote 10 mile but it is 10K, sorry. There is the Annapolis 10miler in August too, don't know if I want to do that one or not, too hot, very difficult course, very competitive....

    Your time was just at 1 hour for your last race right?

    58:20.

    I have another 10k this Sunday, but it's in the mountains (about 7,500 feet) so I don't know if I'll be able to break an hour or not. I've never run in the higher altitude like that. :embarassed:

    Wow!! that is up there!!!! I was just reading on one of the training website (jeff galloway maybe) about how much time you should add to your run for higher altitudes. I will be sending you all my 'fast feet' thoughts!!! Run Forest Run!

    Where are you in Colorado? I have been to Co Springs several times and loved it! What's the big resort there - broadmoor? My best friend used to work there and my cousin was married there...other than that, I have only driven through the state on my way to Yellowstone...

    Shannon, thanks for the invite!:flowerforyou:

    Way to go everyone! Thanks for giving me the motivation to get out there tonight. It is very hot in Texas! I waited as long as I could before running to give it a chance to cool down just a little. I ran 3 miles tonight. It was not as bad as I was anticipating.

    Great job! It's still hot here too.....right now it says 91 on my computer. :grumble: If we didn't complain about the weather, what would we do????

    Wow....PM and Shannon....You guys are fearless!! I'm such a chicken. Hubby keeps encouraging me to sign up for an organized race, but I haven't done it. Not sure I want to do it. You guys are my heros!:smooched:

    You have to have an IPod or you can buy the wrist band. I have an IPod, my husband has the wrist band...both work well. I prefer the IPod because I need to have tunes anyway. If you go on Nike.com you can purchase the shoe insert (you can also get a clip to just put it on your shoe) and the attachments to get you up and running.... For as much as I have used it, the $$$$ was very well spent!

    Oh...and I did 3.5 today....it is HOT HOT HOT here....

    Happy Running...
