CASUAL run challenge--july (Page 11)

OK I think 1.6 kms = 1 mile so 120kms = 75 miles. But I'll still log everything in kms on the spreadsheet!!!  I've done heaps already this month but I don't leave on holidays until the 12th of July, thats when its going to get tricky. I *might* have to increase my goal later ...

Congrats on the weight loss, thats excellent!

Ooooh we're going to be visiting Seattle - my husband wants to see the Boeing factory and my uncle will be taking us windsurfuing at Hood River. I was going to visit Seattle when I was last in Vancouver 10 years ago but at the time there was heaps of snow so we couldn't go. I love Stanley Park too - I'll have to try to do a run through there

Sounds like a great run! Well done on getting out there. The weather here is going to be quite stormy over the weekend so I think I'll be doing a similar run in the next few days!!!

Oh yeah, tons of fun.  But I am getting closer to normal.  I doubt I will see my sub 7 mins again for awhile, but I am happy to maintaining sub 9 mins.  I am not sure if I can maintain the sub 8's that I did today or if it was a fluk.

Not sure I am gonna make my planned run today. Been sick all night and had to drag my butt into work today....since most people are off and I couldn't call in sick.

This sucks. I am tired and feel like crap. I hope I can shake whatever it is I have got in the next day or two.

At least it should be quiet at work today......hopefully.

Have fun everyone out there in the real world!

I'll be back fighting fit soon and will crank up those numbers before you know it

Did you go out and run, or did you scratch it for today?  I think you should go for a shorter/easier run than you where planning, if you didn't go out yet.  Those kind always help relax me.  Maybe this evening once it cools off.

dcrunningdiva - 2008-07-04 5:10 AM I'm so NOT wanting to run today...someone HELP! I just have a picture in my mind of a really crappy day out in the heat...all day...with a 2 yr old who is trying to potty train. The thought of that is not making me want to waste my energy on a run today. UGH.

No, I didn't go out yet but unless I take running gear (and shower gear) to this party with me tonight I doubt I'll be getting in any miles today. Tomorrow is a different story, though.

I can see where that might be a problem.  Take the day off, that's my plan.

You live in America right?  I think that whoever told you that is and idiot.  That would be like telling the non citizens in the military that they can't celebrate because they don't hold a citizenship.  I bet that is the same person that celebrates Cinco de Mayo or St Patricks day without thinking about it, though I am sure they are unlikely Irish or Mexican.  This is typical behavior from us Americans, sorry but that is how the majority of my society is.

I whole heartedly agree with this.
