LEMmings- the reRUN. Once again over the cliff. (Page 3)

This is also my last "big" week before I taper ....... 70 miles assuming I get everything in.  10 tomorrow with 6 in the morning, 4 in the evening.  11 with 6 x 1,000 intervals @5k pace Weds.  15 Thurs.  8 general aerobic Fri.  6 recovery Sat. and then the last 20 on Sunday.

Then it is off to taper town!!  Of course I still have track work each week during that taper ...... grrrrrrrrrr.

What is tem zoot?

I finally got ina 4 miler yesterday and today. 

Semi-sponsored program through Zoot and Gu where you pay reduced price for a package that includes clothing, Gu and GU2O (their drink) and get discounts on the Zoot and Gu products.

I was on Team Gu last year and loved it so I went for it again for '08 when Zoot also came on board (last year the clothing was 2XU stuff, which I also liked).  They are "sponsoring" about 300 athletes for the year.

Hey all...

 I'm glad to be back with the team... of which the name is great no matter what everyone decides.

 I did get 9 mile in this weekend, so hopefully I can keep on a roll..

 Good luck everyone!

Good to have you back

If you're not living on the edge
You take up too much room!!

I think this is a good slogan for us this month!  

GO LEMMINGS!!!!   

Hello everybody, my name is Antti, I come from Finland, except now I live in Bahrain, island in Persian Gulf.

I'm planning to run 80k this month. This is the best time of the year to be outside here in land of sun and sand. It's beautiful 60f outside and sun is shining. In the summertime it is way over 100...

Let's win this thing this month! Over the cliff!!! 

Welcome - Can you send some sun and warmth this way? Tomorrow 10-14 inches of snow.  Ugh - how did a Califonia girl end up here?

snow? let's see, what was that again... haven't seen snow since 2004. or really since 2002 winter. couple of winters in thailand teaching people to dive and now here in bahrain since oct 2004. maybe next winter we take our two boys back home to have their first real christmas. both are born in bahrain...

are you guys running outside in winter/snow? i used to do that back home. i would prefer skiing, though!

this time of the year i'm a bit greedy about the sunlight and warmth, but in june-september i'd love to send you at least 20f degrees, day and nite.

my golf playing fellow worker mike had a friend over from south africa and they were talking about playing golf in summertime. mike told him that in summer only possible time to actually play is in the nighttime - we have beautiful lit golfcourse here. visitor asked that what time it starts to cool down. mike looked him slowly and said: in october.

Or have to pay $7,000 a year in home owner's insurance and property taxes like where I live for a 2,700 s.f. house on an acre.

Oh, meanwhile got in another 6 this morning with 4 on the schedule when I get home tonight.

37.7 miles down not including tonight .......

Got my 4 in this afternoon after leaving work early (again - since I'm still fighting this drippy sinus thing).

41.7 miles down.  20.8% complete.
