I know Neal. Just giving you a hard time. MD, MD.  I haven't decided if I like the ring to Dr. Dymond yet...it sounds kind of weird at the moment.

Also...its fairly difficult to get kicked out of medicine.

ironannekidd - 2010-07-13 5:52 AM Good morning Ghoulies!

I already got my run in and some yoga. It was a hill workout today. My hamstring is still not happy about hills, but I've been around DC, Arlington before, I highly doubt the hills on the first 8 miles of the marathon are anything like the ones I train on. I did have to stop about halfway through my run to stretch my hamstrings out. Yoga felt good when I was done, too.

nice job getting the run in.  I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep

ironannekidd - 2010-07-13 6:36 AM

I was tempted to turn off the alarm. My husband even said to me this morning that he thinks I should run in the evenings. He said the temp is the same at 7 or 8 in the evening as it is at 4 in the morning. It is not, trust me. He also thinks it is safer. There are more cars on the road in the evening, most mornings I don't even see a car. So I think it is safer to run in the morning.

It is also harder to get out of the house in the evenings. I get involved doing things around the house or with the kids then it gets late and I'm getting tired. I think for now I'll continue running in the morning.

kcarroll - 2010-07-13 7:02 AM BTW, morning Ann.  Morning Neal.

ironannekidd - 2010-07-13 7:58 AM I'm going to start making phone calls in the mornings to get you guys up to run!

kcarroll - 2010-07-13 8:04 AM

That would have helped.

Hi Kim!

kcarroll - 2010-07-13 8:01 AM

I totally agree on the morning approach (this from someone who slept in today).  Fewer cars and lower heat/humidity. Evening workouts are hit/miss with me and I don't have the kid challenge that you do.  
Since it's been hot even in the morning I've been wearing the fuel belt with a small bottle of water or two.  I carry mace on that since some of my runs take me past an area that has had bear sightings. Although, I don't really worry much about bears.

Hi Neal! Well, since we slept in this morning what's on tap for this afternoon? I was supposed to swim today and the pool will be packed tonight.  I'm thinking a penalty bike tonight.  What about you? 

ironannekidd - 2010-07-13 7:05 AM

If the topic comes up again I'll just tell him that it was discussed in the village and the consensus was to run in the morning. How could he argue with that?

ironannekidd - 2010-07-13 8:05 AM

So a phone call at 4am saying GET YOUR AZZ OUT OF BED AND RUN!!!!!!!!!!! would be a good thing?
