Good morning:flowerforyou:

I was scheduled for 5 easy miles today. However, after watching the Olympics 100 & 200 meter heats last night, I found it challenging to run an "easy" run today.:laugh:

Make it a great day

    Morning!

    I woke up to my calves being extremely sore this morning (due to BodyAttack class yesterday). Walking is a challenge and going up and down stairs is torture!! lol
    It the good pain tho, the kind of pain you know is there because you worked hard.

    So, I'm taking today off from working out.

    Kechie, I know what you mean! It's hard to run when you didn't get enough sleep.

    Have a great day all!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Enjoy your day off Mireille. You deserve it!:flowerforyou:

    It wasn't that I didn't get enough sleep last night. I was so inspired by the Olympic runners last night that I was constantly running too fast of a pace for an easy run this morning.

    Should have posted this yesterday. I'm new to these message boards but I'm a runner too. Ran 13 miles yesterday and lived to tell about it. Feeling really good today. Did some circuit training here at home since I'm home due to tropical storm Fay. Not a good day even for just a short easy run. Looking forward to chatting with you all. Have a good day.

    Morning All! :flowerforyou:

    Back from vacation :sad: (and with tighter pants!) :embarassed:

    wtg lina! I beat my time today too, 5 miles in 1:02:07, yay us :drinker:
  • Wow, everyone did so great today.
    Last night I was eager to do something, so I went for a 35 minute bike ride in the dark. I need at least two more headlights to ride around here at night. It was nice and cool though and I enjoyed it even though I was by myself. I wish it could have been longer, but I didn't have a lot of time before I went to bed.

    I didn't get a chance to run yet today as I now get up and have to get ready to work at my running time. But I did a quick warm up session with crunches and stuff, so maybe I will get the treadmill in, but I think I am taking the day off. I am sooooo tired.

    The boss today requested volenteers to close one day a week (8pm) because they fired someone and so I sacrificed and said I would close on Mondays... :laugh: Ha ha ha. That way my weekend is a few hours longer and now I can run on Mondays. I sacrificed so much already and I have only been on the job a week.

    I have a doctor appointment that I don't have to leave for until about 7:30 AM on Thursday, so I am looking forward to a morning run on that day.:drinker:

    Great job everyone today, wish I was able to keep up.
