Nads - End of Summer Challenge (Page 6)

0.5 mile intervals -- ouch is right!  But intervals are our friend, right?

Sledge - 2009-09-20 6:02 AM

I got my run in yesterday -- well, actually I was with a friend who doesn't run much so it was more of a run/walk.  We had to hide from one downpour, but most of the way it was just drizzle.  Now I'm hoping to get a long run in, but another line of storms is heading this way.  I'm going to wait for a little bit and see how bad it really is.  A little bit of rain is ok, but that's not what they've been getting in Atlanta.  I'm ready to head back home -- we've been complaining about all of the rain there too, but at least at the beach we get a cloudburst then it clears up for awhile.  Here it is just dreary, and then the sky opens up.

Ok, enough complaining!  We saw the Braves beat the Phillies last night, and hope to see the Falcons beat Carolina this afternoon.  At least it's been a good sports weekend (my Hokies pulled it out at the last minute too!).

Have a great Sunday everyone!

kcarroll - 2009-09-20 9:21 AM Morning Nads!  Another beautiful day in Jersey.  A little chilly this morning - 39 when I headed out the door - but perfect running weather.  Got in a short swim and another 4 1/2 mile "wog."  Boy my cardio has deteriorated.  I think I had to walk more than run to stay in Z3.  Hard to be patient, but I do see the biggest gains when I train Z3 so got to stick with it.

Soccer later this afternoon.  I will probably hang in the goal (which I am nooo good at, but the team we're playing today doesn't have much in the way of forwards) just to keep the knee safe. 

KrisSeer - 2009-09-21 1:42 AM OK....

I logged, spreadsheeted, and caught up on the thread. Whew!!

Sorry to see so many of us are hurt... hope everybody's resting when needed, and healing well!!

GoooooooNADS!!! :-)

I'll agree with the great running weather.  I love running when its in the 40s!

kcarroll - 2009-09-21 6:50 PM PM'd Todd and have adjusted my run goal for the month.  Now it is going to be the swim goal that is the challenge...can't adjust that and pass the red-face test.

Am heading to San Fran in the morning.  No pool at the hotel so will get my runs and stretching in this week. 

Sledge - 2009-09-22 5:32 AM

I'm confused -- what's the 40s?

Actually, I'm jealous.  I love running in the cold too.  Unfortunately it's hot and humid here again this morning.  Oh well...

OK, I'm perpetually jet-lagged or struggling to manage what time zone I am in.  This week on the west coast.  Did get a short run in after landing and before the first meeting of the afternoon.  Anyone else gone to work still sweating from a run even though you took a shower afterwards?

kcarroll - 2009-09-24 12:21 PM Morning Nads.  Got 4 miles in today, so am on track with revised run goal.  Going to have to get in the pool this weekend and catch up there.  How's everyone doing?  Been kind of quiet the last few days.  The weather in San Fran is great.  Nice and chilly although a bit windy.   

disturbed275 - 2009-09-25 7:28 AM

I'm doing well, thank you.  I'm closing in on all 3 of my goals, none of which should be a problem to hit by month's end.  That and I'm getting ready for my last tri of the year on Sunday!
