I had fun at the 5K today!  Finished in 27:11.  I really wanted to be under 27 minutes.  I had WAY to much energy at the end so I didn't run fast enough.  Oh well.  I'm working on getting closer to my previous speeds.  Baby steps.



Good for you.  You WILL get there.  Glad you had fun!

Good running at your upcoming 5k

kromanowski - 2009-10-19 7:51 AM I hope everyone had a great weekend! I really dislike Mondays.  Not only do I have to be back at work, but we have a weekly meeting on Mondays that goes from 4-6.


Ugh!  Who does that on a Monday?

I suppose this would be a bad time to tell you I'm leaving at 3 today to make sure I can get a nice bike ride in. 

Neal - I was thinking the same thing.  The only other time that would be worst is Friday at the same time.

Afternoon bike ride sounds like a grand idea.  Supposed to be mid-50's today and that is a heat wave recently!



My company's business unit is located in colorado, a time zone behind us.  They are always trying to schedule late in the day meetings, like 5:00 our time.  And I've done the 4:00 friday meeting a few times.  Never fun

I had a Friday meeting that went until 6 PM last week. 6 PM on Friday? Bleh!

And you moved for that job Dee?   Those are just wrong in all sense of common decency!  And bosses should know that as well.  If you cannot fix it before 3:00pm on Friday leave it until Monday!  Guess that is why I am not a boss



I like your management style

Did you do a Race Report by chance?

Thanks!  Race Report is up but it's short and lame.  Check it out if you need to waste time.

AFTERNOON GHOULIES.

nice swim this morning.  1 mile continuous swim + 550 yds for good measure.

spent 45 mins driving around measuring out my route for tomorrows 12 miler. Santa BEST be bringing me my Garmin 310XT.

 my reward is that at mile 9-10ish i get to run through the woods on an asphalt ladened trail. 

i know its the little things that motivate me, but man, i sure work what works

not that im gonna rest on my laurels, but i really want to sink down&enjoy tomorrows run, reflect on this season, think about where ive been, how far ive come, where im headed.

listen to some good tunes.  enjoy the leaves.  and the sunshine.  take my time. and....

smile, a lot along the way. 

just

run

happy.

sometimes i get SO focused on the training part, that i forget, i do this because i LOVE to....i do this because i enjoy it so...i do this because it makes me happy.


its supposed to be a great day weather wise - not too cold, not hot. 

[i even heard in the 70s on Wed, so ill be heading out on my bike for sure that day....]

HAPPY RUNNING!

skrtrnr - 2009-10-19 7:49 AM MORNING GHOULIES.

full week on tap training wise, but then i start my pre-race taper on Saturday.  just a few more days of hard work....

i should be redeeming myself BIG TIME in the challenging standings/percentage this week.

3 runs on tap - 12 miler tomorrow, 5 miler on Thurs, 10 miler on Saturday.

i was surprised that we were on the bottom this week, but then again, these challenges are 'funny' that way....all comes down to when people finish their runs/post it to the spreadsheet.

i have every confidence that not only will be BACK on top this week, we WILL win the run challenge.

heres to us SHOW US YOUR GHOULIES!
stacieb

That is some heavy duty mileage there Queenie.  I hope my intervals on Saturday were as much fun for you as they were for me



yay.  i did some switching around in my schedule and this just made sense, but left me a little short last week in the challenge.  no worries.  ill more than catch up this week

as for my intervals, A TOTAL BLAST.

and yes, i did where my Halloweeny socks. 

best be worth me making your butt better!
