morning all...morning Mireille!

good luck and hope the rain subsides a bit so you can get in that killer 7 miles woo!

I'm taking a rest day today, I ran 4 miles, and then walked almost 4 miles yesterday....plus I have to get into work to finish a few things for year end....love this time of year...NOT!

but I hope you all have great day and I may end up running later...it all depends on how stressed I get from work LOL

hugs and happy day!

Good Morning my running friends!

I hit the trails this morning just before sun up for 7.12 miles. Instead of running at my ususal LSD pace for this distance, I kept my heart rate in the 80-90% range for the entire run. It felt good.

Mireille - Good luck with your 7 miles. I hope the weather cooperates.

Enjoy your runs or rest!!

Good grief, Kechie! Glad you made it home alive!! Start bringing your epi pen with you, that's an order!

Good job on your runs, Kechie & JD. {{starting Kechie & JD rumors now}} :bigsmile:

Yes Ma'am! *Kechie dusts off epi pen and puts it with her running shoes by the door*
:devil: I wonder if I can use the epi pen to kill vicious attack dogs on my run?

Good job on your runs, Kechie & JD. {{starting Kechie & JD rumors now}} :bigsmile:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Good morning,

It's raining here again but it's should clear up by afternoon. I'm having my breakfast now and I hope to be out the door in 2 -3 hours for my 7 miles.

I will post later.

Have a great day!
Mireille

RAIN??? BAHHHHH!!!! Did you see my canoe adventure post? LOL You can so get out there girl! ((I'm funny, ey?))

Good morning:grumble:

Stayed up too late last night...

Still got up and exited my house. I ran 7.11 miles. Weird. Maybe JD and I ran together this morning...:bigsmile:

I too took it nice and easy. Well I tried to - I was chased by a dog that wasn't barking. Don't you hate that?:explode: I blew my whistle and he retreated.? I tried to scream but nothing came out.

Then, an angry bee chased me. I'm thankful the bee didn't sting me. I am allergic to bee stings and of course I did not have an epi pen w/me. I never take one with me on my runs.:embarassed:

Enjoy the day:flowerforyou:
-Kechie.

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of dogs! Glad you made it girlie!!!

Morning. Just a quick 1.5 mile run. My shins started acting up again so I am doing some post stretches and icing. Didn't realize how important stretching is after a run... on Friday i went 3.5 miles and Sat morning I woke up way stiff. Will try to pick up a gym class this week to work on some strengthening (I think that would be best for my shins). Have a great Sunday! And good luck to those doing their long runs today... I am excited for the day when I will be doing one!

Hi RD,

You'll get there sooner then you think! Take care of those shins though. :flowerforyou:

JD -- how do you like running trails? I've just started running trails again after about 3 years of not running them at all. Friday I went out for my long run and ran 2 hours & 20 minutes.... still didn't get in my 12 miles as the trail had a lot of elevation gain and was pretty technical, but I got in 10. I kept my HR at a 150 average which is where it is for a 'normal' long run. Do you think this is equivalent - even though the mileage isn't there? I'd love to think I can do my long runs there... it's so beautiful!

I did 5 yesterday on a different trail - fairly easy, so I got the mileage in as well as the time.

Today I'm resting - AND I slept in until 9 - unheard of! Both of my girls at a sleepovers.... how wonderful!

Woke up this morning and it was pouring. So I decided to make it a rest day..I guess it was called for anyway because I have ran the last seven days straight. Hope everyone has a good day!

Shel - I love runnning trails. If I could do all of my running on trails and never hit the streets I would be happy. My joints take too much of a beating when I try to push my tempo on pavement. The trails that I usually run are really easy...wide and well groomed. There is one that I run occasionally though that requires you to watch every step and has some tough hills.

Even if the distance is a little shorter, if you are getting your heart rate into your training zone for the same amount of time, I would have to think it is an equivalent cardio work out.
