Headless Horsemen Team Thread (Page 9)

I'm not scheduled for a run today, but I'll go visit the folks through the kids' bedtime so I'm thinking I'll bring my gear and get in a child-free run while they get grandparent time.  Then I'll take tomorrow off running instead... I have to run around and prep for the trike/bike race I'm organizing for the neighborhood little kids.

If inspiration hits, go for it.  great! 

11.39 miles today. Lots of hills and elevation gain. Felt good. Hammered the last couple miles.

Keep running horses!

well horsies - I did my hilly kid-free run tonight.  I think I want more kid free runs!  It was nice to swing my arms and not push a stroller and not agree that yes, there ARE more basketball hoops, squirrels, etc along the run.  

So, do I join a gym for treadmill kid free runs, seems I'd miss the real world.

Or do I run early/late and miss sleep/hubby time?  ARGH.  

tradeoffs.  pppbbbbbbt! 

I run outside as much as I can, but sometimes I have to hit the dreadmill. Once a week or so I would say. I finally broke down and got an MP3 player earlier this year, so that makes the time go by faster.

The nice thing about the dreadmill is I have less to think about. I don't have to worry about my pace - I just set it. All I have to think about is my HR. But I do love the variety of an outdoor run. The wind in my face, barking dogs at 5am, and the women's fitness bootcamp that meets at the park on Wednesday morning.

Come on over!

Well said Todd...I mean Andy...

4.75 mile run...quick pick-ups at 5K pace...

Carbo-loading today...shooting for 70% of calories coming from carbs...it's harder than you think...I am bubbling with energy today!

You know, it's funny. I meet BTers at races and tell them my screen name, which doesn't really register with them. Then I tell them "I'm the guy with The Todd as his avatar." I get an immediate "Oh yeah" reaction, but they are surprised that my name isn't Todd.

So you can call me that if you want, but please, to be proper, it's The Todd.

Got a virus yesterday morning that knocked me out all day, so lucky for me I got my workouts in early.

Felt well enough to go out for a very, very easy 4 miler at lunchtime.

10.26 miles today for the team. Only a couple more nice days before the cold weather comes so I'm trying to make the most of them.

Good running team. Let's keep it going.

Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do a TRI.

No dairy? 

ooooh you're right.  i had eggs for breakfast.  normal diet = normal bodily functioning.

What good are eggs if you don't wash them down with a tall glass of ice cold milk?

I didny run today. I swam...and boy was it nice.  Dats all ahm saying.   

Then my dog decides that he's not going to learn how to shake, he's going to learn how to knock my teeth out by headbutting me for that treat.  *ouch* 

Day off of running for me today. Good news is that I'm feeling 100% after the last two days of being out of it.

Run fast horses!

Glad you knocked out that virus...

30 min run, 15 sec pick-ups at 5K pace.  I love taper.  Gonna try to carbo load again today (70% carbs).  Only made it to 62% yesterday.

On the menu:  Oatmeal, triscuits, fruit and tomato juice...
