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:

    Gotta put my running shoes back on tonight. After my 1/2, I haven't felt like running, but I have to start up again. I like eating too much. :laugh:

    Happy Running! :flowerforyou:
