What did you do?

[LindsayLoves]

First time I've had back to back runs since Dumbo. Also the first time we've had temps in the 70s for two consecutive days, coincidence? I think not.

@JillC LI - nice job! Glad to hear you were able to push it a little bit speed wise. It is nice to hear that you son has gained some respect for his sister's sport, swimming is tough stuff.

@tmitch - hope you heal up before your goal race - I am assuming you weren't just running a 20 miler for fun (though it is possible)

No, there is nothing about a 20 mile run that remotely resembles anything fun

So Sunday morning was our Summer's Not Done Aquarun Duathlon.

Was wondering who would win the challenge. Good job!

6-miler this morning with lots of energy. Not sure where that came from. Maybe because I'm spending less time focusing on my foot.

Why are school buses picking up kids at 0600?

2.5@2i@6:53p yesterday, today was bike.

Why are school buses picking up kids at 0600?

Eh, the ones I know that get kids that early have like a 30-45 minute route, and need to get kids at school by 7.

14 miles this morning in a light mist. 30 for the week. Calves were jumping all over the place at the end.

Fastest miles were 12 and 14 because I just wanted to get it over with. Foot is great, it's all mental right now.

I did 3,5k today. The last 1,5 I might walk or something but well. Happy to know I'M good around 3 k anyway for the Jingle Jungle

Again, don't try to set a personal record. Have fun!

Finishing at all is my PR

Nice to catch up on here and see what everyone has been doing. I've been in Texas since last Wednesday. Went to Austin to visit my sister's family in their new home (big adjustment for them from NYC) and to check out Dallas as well for a Cowboys game and the Texas State Fair. What a beautiful city (suburbs) Austin is. I had the opportunity to do a short run one morning around Lady Bird Lake - man was that view inspiring with the sun rising. My only other exercise was an hour of kayaking with my sister, which as a non-rower was a LOT of exercise for me, especially when we were returning against the current.

Jealous. I'm a Texas grad and I miss Town Lake (what Lady Bird used to called). Love those trails.

8 miles with my pup today. We are having a super warm and dry fall. 45 degrees and sunny by 10:30am...My favorite running weather!

 

[tmitch]

4 miles at 8 min 45 sec pace. Had to get back on the horse after the knee pain. Changed my shoes and everything went pretty well.

 

[Texas84]

6 miles in the fog and humidity. 72F at 0530. Couldn't see a darn thing.

 

[Texas84]

Another 3-6-3 week done and a weird one. Rain Tuesday, fog Wednesday, and beautiful this morning with a bright moon lighting up the roads.

 

[JillC LI]

Four miles last night. It seems to have gone from summer to fall overnight, dropping from temps near 80 to temps in the 50s. I'll take it! Now I just hope that Hurricane Joaquin stays away.

Texas - what plan did you wind up going with? My wife signed me up for the marathon a few days ago and I've got to come up with a plan ASAP. This Sunday I'm running a half that I plan to use for coral placement.

Hal Higdon's Dopey plan at halhigdon.com. I used it in January and it worked. Check out his marathon only plans.

Good luck with the half!

 

[Kermit262]

Yeah I used his Dopey plan in January and thought it was great. I'll look at his marathon plans and see which one looks good.
