Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Page #2 (Page 63)

Home after a really tough week at work.  One of the "youngsters" on my team fainted today. Not enough sleep, food, etc.  Fortunately no head bumps.  One of my docs checked her out and she was fine, just embarrassed.

Plan calls for a 7 miler this weekend.  Going to be rainy and cold.  Will hope for a window of no rain, or will just have to htfu.  NO way I'm doing that on the dreadmill.

5x800s on tap for me tomorrow in the AM.  as early as possible. i want to get these over with.

im thinking of wearing my magic halloweeny socks.

they made me spin faster.

they're SURE to help me run faster.

nighty night GHOULIES.
stacieb

sorry Bill...but you have to listen to your body...it is trying to tell you something.

I am sure they will help!!

Rest day for me today...Tomorrow I am planning a short run or a ride...and then a long run on Sunday!

Have a good friend's wedding to go to tomorrow.  Can't Wait!  I love weddings!

And a good friend is coming from California for the wedding and staying with us.

This is not something that should be done on NATIONAL GOOF OFF DAY. You will have to red-shirt your goof off day until a later date. You can still come play football in the mud with us though.
 

Should be a busy but fun weekend!

Look at that ^^^^^ NATIONAL GOOF OFF DAY TOPPAGE!!!!!!!!!and I wasn't even trying

Just missed the Toppage!  DARN!

Sorry, I didn't know you wanted it.

Oh, I'll absolutely play in the mud.

Oh well!

Anyway... question for everyone:

I think I have talked the DH into doing the RNR HM in Nashville on April 24th...but he also wanted to do one in Illinois on May 1...I think doing 2 with only a week between them is too much...Am I wrong?

Oh its no big deal...at least I am not talking to myself anymore

I would vote go, but that's only because I'll be there.If you're just going to have fun then I'd do it. I was going to do 2 that were 3 weeks apart but when I went to register the one was full already.

Personally, I'm trying to come up with next years schedule and I'm trying to decide how close together I can do an Olympic distance tri and a half marathon. I was thinking of doing any Oly on Aug. 15 and a half marathon on Sept 6th. I'd like to do a full marathon but I don't know if I can do a full right after the Oly. Any thoughts? I have found I love running now, so I have 3 HM's on my schedule, I'd like to do a full marathon sometime in the near future. I thought of the last HM next year being a full, but I'm thinking of doing my full next January in AZ.Did any of that make sense?I see I'm also approaching 200 posts.

There's always enough mud to go around, so come on in!

I'm planning on a 7 miler this weekend too. I'm going on Sunday. Luckily the forecast is as follows: "It's San Diego... I think it'll be fine." Hopefully you won't have to HTFU too much.

At least I'll be running with a 23 year old guy who just graduated from Officer Candidate School. I'm already planning on having to cash in a few HTFU points just keeping up with him.

That's not bad at all! Maybe I'm just jaded. The treadmills at my last place of work (USS BENFOLD) all looked directly into white-painted steel walls. No fun... Although the rocking of the ship was really good for the stabilizer muscles...

Depends. On my Hal Higdon plan, the Sunday before race day is a 12 mile long-slow-run. If the Nashville course isn't too rough and he runs is at a steady pace and takes it real easy that week, he may be good to go. Then again, I am ANYTHING but a running coach, so I highly recommend you get a second opinion

I'll be thinking of you while I'm running my 5 miles by myself in the cold and rain. On second thought can I come follow behind the 23 year old?
