    Another post-sailing lesson run tonight, around the same lakes. This time I ran until I just felt pain in my calf, rather than trying to run through it for a half mile. I made it further than I expected. I did figure out that if I run with shorter but quicker strides, it affected me less. Something for me to keep in mind. Tomorrow will be a rest day.


    here's an article you may find interesting...

    I am doing my run this evening after work but wanted to pop in here before I get to far behind! So many great posts to catch up on!

    @ddmom0811 - I feel very fortunate to live here. Both for the scenery and the weather. Definately an ideal running/biking area!

    @Daisy471 - lovely rainbow!

    @7lenny7 - Tuesdays are my only organized running group days. I met up with 5 friends in the am right by house. And I love your dinner last night! Yummy!

    @shanaber - I am glad that you are feeling better.

    I will post my miles later tonight after my run. :)

    5 miles today but way too slow given that I'd had lots of recovery time. Need to find a way to get these middle-aged legs moving faster!

    @Ohhim: If that's a Pirates cap in your picture, can I assume you're doing those impressive miles around Pittsburgh? If so, what part of town?

    8.1.15.... 5.41 M... 52:30.
    8.2.15.....Rest
    8.3.15.... 1 HR Lift + 2 hrs dance
    8.4.15.... 3.19 M.... 28:10 Afternoon Hot Run + 2 hrs of dance
    8.5.15.... 4.18 M....39:06 Nice cool morning run- feeling stiff- but solid- disappointed with the slowness.
    8.5.15.... PR Chiro Appointment
    8.6.26.... 3.05 M..... 27:59 super cool morning- felt very comfortable today- disappointed my time wasn't faster- but it wasn't a push day- so I'm happy at how good I felt.

    I had a sock problem this morning-my fiance is here and I forgot to prep so I couldn't really rummage the way I normally would- so. yeah mismatched it is.

    Which means apparently I need to go invest in more because I can't find my socks at the rate I'm burning through them hashtagrunnerproblems. things like this happen:

    Aug 1 - 43 mile bike ride
    Aug 2 - 37 mile bike ride
    Aug 3 - 4.1 miles
    Aug 4 - 4.15 miles
    Aug 5 - 6.15 miles - too hot to do my long run for the week. It was over 90+ humidity. I'm very proud of those 6.15 miles - more proud than the 10+ last week! Got to figure out when to get my long run in!
    Aug 6 - strength training (arms/abs/back) followed by cycling class.

    Holy guacamole, there is so much going on in here! Fantastic! I'll have to comeback and play catch up later after I get some studying done, but at least wanted to get my miles posted in quick. I have seven from yesterday and three today to add. Takes me to 20.5/90. Happy running everyone, have a great Thursday!

    @JimCrackinDandy - my knees would hurt too, if I had done 12 yesterday!
    @ddmom0811 - hard to get that long run in this time of year. 6.15 mi in that kind of weather is pretty great!

    @JimCrackinDandy - So sorry to hear that a Road Ogre ate your bottle cap! :lol: I may reconsider getting road Hoka's knowing they haunt the roads too.

    I got in a very late 12 miler yesterday, there is just so much going on it was hard to fit it in...but I did! I suspect my mid-week long runs may normally be this late going forward with the kids starting school next week. That's about the only stretch of time I can figure I will be able to fit it in.

    8/1 - 10 miles
    8/2 - 12 miles (22 miles total)
    8/4 - 8 miles (30 total)
    8/5 - 12 miles (42 miles total)

    Goal 220 miles

    My computer at work doesn't seem to want to go to this page today. I hate doing this on blackberry.

    8/6 - 1.8 miles. Thought the thunderstorm passed, I got almost a mile before the thunder and lightening was coming at me. I took the short loop and headed home. I don't do lightening. Skip's XC practice was canceled so we will try again tonight.

    23.7 miles out of 120
