MFP Runner's Club

No run today, but hit the pool for a 1,200 yd swim. Just felt tired and definitely wasn't my best swim! Oh well, it is done. :laugh: Then did a shoulder and core workout.

Running a 5 mile race this Sat, so will not run until then! :bigsmile:

Didn't get to run this morning....:grumble: ...took something to help me sleep and it worked -- a little too good. Slept right through the alarm. I'll get in 5 miles tonight when I get home -- or else someone is going to get hurt! :devil: I really need those endorphins to make the day better -- so watch out world -- I cannot be held accountable for my attitude!!!!

LOL, I love it!! I feel the same way....I am so addicted to those endophines....I call it my runners high!

I won't be running until tonight since I stayed up way too late and didn't get up early enough. I'm going to hold a short class tonight anyways, so I should be able to get some running in.

Runnerdad, thanks so much for the info on gaining speed. That's excellent advice! I'm going to try it, too. (Jenn, thanks for asking that question)

Jess, good luck on your race.

Kechie, have fun at the pool! I'd rather be there than working, thats for sure!

Well, I've been rebellious about logging food/exercise this week and was kind of scared to jump on the scale. I put it off yesterday (my normal weigh in day) but thought, well, I guess I better check.

And

I lost 3 lbs!!!!

Woo hoo! I love running!!!!!!!!!!!!

And each pound of fat I lose, the faster my legs can carry me!!

Hope everyone has a great day!! Tomorrow is a day off work for me!

Hey Everybody!:flowerforyou:
I jogged 3, walked 2 then jogged 1 more mile faster than the first 3. It feels like I'm carrying someone else's legs when I'm running! :sick: I'm really sore and although it feels great to run again, it is frustrating to have lost so much speed. :frown: Well, at least I am able to do a little!

way to get back out there, christine...don't worry too much about losing speed. there have been times i've lost speed, even when i'm running regularly. so if you've been out with injury, the comeback may take a little readjustment (i know you know this, but maybe it helps hearing it from somebody else). in any case, you just keep it up, and see if that speed doesn't come back to you.

Hang in there, Christine. It is better to start off slow after an injury anyway--I know, I have been there, come back and then been there again! Think of it as your body's way of making sure you don't do too much too fast!

ahhhhhh...got my run in this evening. 5.5 miles -- and I feel so MUCH better!

Life is good!

Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July!
I'm hosting my family reunion tomorrow evening (big 2 day party -- about 75 people :drinker: :drinker: ) hoping to run in the am then off on Saturday -- long run on Sunday evening (after recovery:yawn: )

Take care!
Julie

sorry fixing an accidental double post

Got some bad news this afternoon so I got rid of steam on a speed run. I wish I knew how far and how fast I ran, but sadly my nike+ thinger decided to die. Oh well

5.75 miles in 52 minutes....9 minute miles with hills! I can't believe it!
Happy 4th everyone!
