    @Orphia That looks really awesome

    I wore glasses today because it was so sunny and I think I should invest in a not so cheap pair as these hurt my nose

    I would like to join this group

    I vote yes :smiley:

    @Orphia The pics! <3

    @JessicaMcB LOL kids gone wild....

    Not sure if I'm running today. Church then father's day lunch with my father in law (yesterday was dinner with my dad)....
    So probably depends on how much food I've eaten and if I feel up to an evening run. I may just do Monday and Tuesday morning. Or Monday and Wednesday morning. I have no real schedule lately. Just fit it 4 runs a week. Morning running (mid week) opens up a whole new world of opportunities to run B)

    I finally did both my long runs in a weekend! Yay! This week's weather was much more favorable; last week I started at 6 am and it was already 75F. Today, it was 60F when I started at 5:45 and 70F when I finished a little after 8 am. Humidity was lowish (between 65 and 75%), there was a little breeze, and I ran a pretty shady route, so I didn't feel overheated and awful (though I do still smell awful and am drenched head to toe in sweat). I am now chowing down on my post-run Flavor Ice pops and my plan for the day is: eat, shower, nap, eat, nap, eat. YAY NAPS.

    Happy Father's Day to all your MFDads out there!

    Sorry about the tumble, @MobyCarp . I'm sure you won't let that slow you down too much, though!

    Those are amazing pictures, @Orphia . That looks like a wonderful experience.

    Today I pushed through some achy knees to get started, but other than that had a really pleasant 4.25-mile run on the rail-trail loop. The weather was warmish but only 25% humidity with a little breeze and I was under tree cover for about half of it. My right knee is still feeling a little stiff; not sure what's up with that.

    ETA: It looks like my original goal of 75 miles might not have been out of the question after all!

    Last day of the block! Rest day tomorrow, thank goodness! I managed to work up some speed at the tail end of the group run this morning (mostly because I wanted to be done and get to the coffee part of the day) but oh boy, are my legs tired! I'm not sure that going from 5x25 mpw post-marathon right back into 45-55 mile weeks was all that smart. My legs are just playing catch up right now. If I'm gonna keep this up, I've got to respect the rest days going forward!

    It was really nice out - not nearly as humid. It was like someone had turned on a massive dehumidifier. Very unusual for Orlando this time of year. I suppose Orlando deserves something good at this point. :cry:
    Wish I'd had time to go further but got a lot to do to get ready for vacation tomorrow.

Amazing! Everyone else...keep kicking *kitten*!
