Elite  4583   |  Subject: 6.2.17 Fantastic Friday!Good morning BT! Off day for me today but will probably take the dog squad out later after school. I just received my first pair of actual trail shoes--even though I've always run trails, it never occurred to me to try out trail shoes! Can't wait to test them out tomorrow morning especially since the trails I run are really rocky--interesting to see if these shoes offer better grip, stability over the rough terrain I run over. Those of you that have been in this thread a long time know my daughter is quite the athlete and pitcher--final sports banquet last night. She was named 2017 2A State Pitcher of the Year, League and team MVP, Academic All State, and ends her career ranked 2nd in the whole state of Nevada with 731 strike outs thrown over her high school career--what a way to end high school! Can't wait to see what she does in college! (thanks for letting me mom brag Steve and Curtis...good luck tomorrow!!! Have a great day all! |

702  Aledo, Texas | Subject: RE: 6.2.17 Fantastic Friday! Awesome, congrats to your daughter! Trail shoes will make a difference. I'm supposed to do an hour easy ride today - plan to get that in this afternoon. I'll brag a little bit, too. Last night, my wife did a 5k race as a time trial (we're building her up slowly for a marathon). She ended up finishing 2nd in her age group, her first ever podium. She'll tell you (probably accurately) that the field was not very competitive, but it's still pretty cool. Curtis, good luck tomorrow. |

Regular 694 Tucson, AZ | Subject: RE: 6.2.17 Fantastic Friday! Haven't been on my TT bike since Ironman Chattanooga 70.3. Thought I would I take it for a 90 minute spin to get reacquainted with the position before Ironman 70.3 Raleigh. |

Extreme Veteran 959 Greenwood, South Carolina | Subject: RE: 6.2.17 Fantastic Friday! 8 mile run this morning at 4:00AM. Felt pretty good on the run. Did my normal stretching after the run and started my weight/core training. I was starving afterwards. Kim: Congrats on the awards for your daughter. You should be proud. Steve and Curtis: Kick butt on your race this weekend. Have a great weekend everyone. |

New user 1351 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: 6.2.17 Fantastic Friday! Congrats on your daughter Kim! I've honestly never been tuned in enough to notice a whole lot of difference in trail shoes. They're all the same to me, but I suppose even after all these years I'm simply not refined enough. I ran a trivial amount of miles tonight just for the sake of bringing the sweetest girl I know running down to the creek.

Master 8249 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: 6.2.17 Fantastic Friday! Awwww! Cute doggie! Congrats on your daughter, Kim! Kind of a brutal (and brutally hot) Friday here. AM: 3000m of swimming, including 4 X 400m. That's a handful before a full day of work. PM: 1:15 trainer ride with a bunch of big-gear pickups. Just ready for it to be over here. I've never tried to train for a big race right after school lets out (actually, I think I did for my first HIM, but not like this!). One gets to a point in every school year where it just needs to end, and HIM training is kind of like that as well. I have 5 more days of work (3 1/2 of kids) and 8 more days of training before starting taper, and seriously not sure I can make it! |
