Hello again cheetahs! I had a fantastic run today after work! Normally when I go for these runs after working a 12 hr nite shift they are not my most energetic runs understandably but I left the Garmin off and concentrated purely on a good Chi running form. It really felt effortless:7 And I ended up doing this route faster then I usually do.
Cathy- Great job today on your 4 miler!! Wow, I am so bummed that you can't find an air fare that works for you;( Perfectly understandable though.... I'm still crossing my fingers you can do it. It will be an awesome FUN experience. Well, if not, I'll be in NJ next June for a rematch with you and Wendy}( }( }( }( }( }(
Marcia- I'm so sorry that your DH is having so much stress. I'd say you both should take a break and come to Las Vegas in Dec!! (I'm incorrigible!) Seriously though, he probably does just need you to ask and let him talk about it. Best of luck with your TS Open house fundraiser!!!
Gayle- Hey, I like your alternative weekend plan better than the Jersey shore trip! Your boys are lucky, you are one terrific Mom!
jackie- I had a great run, thank you! Hope you are having a fabulous rest day. You'd never know I'm a night shift worker... on my nights off I rarely make it to 10pm~ I'm such an old fuddy duddy, I conk out usually by nine!!
Amy- Glad to hear from you! Wow, are you going to have weeks like this through the whole school year???
Well, we look forward to you posting whenever you can! Good job on your run today. I am following a marathon training program. There are several available and I'm following one that was featured in "runner's world" a couple of months ago that was a compilation of several of the top running coaches. I modify it of course to fit my crazy schedule.
Wendy- Fantastic job on your 6.5 miles today!!!!! I have actually done races back to back... in NJ in fact! Not this year but in 06 I did the Barnegat Bay 8k (5 miles) on a Sat. and the PineBeach5k the next day, Sunday. I see no problem at all with this for the shorter races. I felt fine!! I say go for it! I guess this isn't surprising advice coming from me ;-)
Christine- Galloway and many of the walk/run proponents claim you'll actually finish faster using this method. There is alot of anectotal evidence out there to support this too. I've personally raced against people who I constantly passed as they took their walk breaks, only to have been beaten in the end! Have a great spinervals day!!!
Time to get moving.... I still have DM on the agenda!:7
