Happy Birthday Margie, and a big birthday hug from the crazy panda.
I feel like a broken record with this PF rehabing and not training. One more week and I'll be back at it. I think I'm getting better each day although it's hard to tell without trying to race walk.
Today is drive to Nashville day for my date night with Sally. We are going to see the new Twilight movie. Love the wolves.

Good Morning, Team! 
Fog this morning Partly Cloudy - High 86°-91% Humidity
I hope today is better than yesterday just going out side my skin
Was picky from the heat & humidity.
Connie-
Dave-
I Appreciate the Birthday Wishes!
Enjoy the night at the movies with Sally!
Training is only part of what we do -
As a Team Member we support, encourage, and motivate each other.
What makes our Team Great is that we truly care about how others are doing.
Mike- I Appreciate the Birthday Wishes!
Regina- So Sweet of you!
I Appreciate the Birthday Wishes!
I agree with Sue - I wear different shoes on the DM (dread mill)
My foot fall is totally different.
Sore Muscles-are you doing too many reps?
Maybe you need to back off and build up.
When I haven't done them for a while I do 2 sets of 10 reps
and work back up to 3 sets of 15-it makes a difference!
Sue-
Any decision Goofy vs Full?
Vicky- did the PT appointment end up being an ART session?
How is your calves & back this morning
Connie & Jon (bruising, broken ribs, foot, & cold), Dave (PF & Left Achilles)
Denise (cold), Jennifer (car accident), Kim (foot), Kirstie (arm), Mary (knee),
Scott (knees) Vicky (ankle, back, calves, cold, and stress)
AFM: Summer Cold shows minor improvement.
I did sleep last night. Lots to get accomplished today!

Hi Everyone!
I ran eight miles yesterday after working nine hours stocking like a man possesed. Pretty sore while working last night.
I also bought a Toshiba laptop which will be delivered tomorrow. We have never owned a laptop before and our current computer is from 2001, so I'm curious to see how many cool things it can do! Also, tomorrow we will be buying a bicycle for Robert so he can ride to the gym with Liz.
Margie~ I wished you a Happy Birthday on FB but not here yet, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hope that you feel better soon! Are you kidding~ Lightning McQueen makes Robert's bedroom! (Mickey too!) Even a map of the Magic Kingdom. I want it to be my room!
Dave~ glad your PF is improving!
Regina~ I'm trying to talk Liz into doing the Princess next year. I guess I'll have to wear pink if we go!
Scott~ I'm sure surgery will go well! Hang in there!
Jennifer~ The crash memories will fade with time, believe me, unfortunately I know first hand. If you make it to the Miss USA pagent, can I brag that I know you?

Hi team!
Mike - WTG on the 8 miles! I hope have lots of fun with your new laptop! They're awesome! The battery on mine died recently so I can only keep it plugged into the wall. I'm thinking about getting a Macbook but might get once of those mini PCs in the meantime. I love being portable!
Scott - Safe travels today! Your knee surgery is next week! I'm thinking good thoughts for you and hoping that everything works out for the best!
Margie - Happy birthday!! My PT just had me do a few stretches and exercises. He thinks because the muscle tightness didn't show up until later Monday, I might not have been hydrating properly Sunday evening and Monday morning. He says I might have lost a lot of electrolytes from sweating during the run. But he says my back and overall form are looking better so he's going to talk to my chiro and if gives us the okay then we can go back to lifting on Thursday. So I think you can take off the cold and ankle for now
And hopefully the back by the end of the week.
Regina - I never did very well on the TM so I only use it when I really have to. As for muscle soreness, if it's from weights -- they will lessen over time as your body adapts to the exercises. When I first started deadlifting, I had trouble running faster than 12 m/m the day after. Now I don't find I'm nearly as sore but it did take a while. I've heard that epsom salt baths are really good but haven't tried them myself.
Dave - Sounds like a fun date! Have fun with Sally and tell her we say hi! Hang in there with the PF! Rest is the best thing when you're injured even though it's one of the hardest things to do.
AFM - I just found out that there are a couple of running groups at work that go out during lunch and after work. After work is a bit tricky because I go to the gym or train and lunch because there are no showers -- sort of. I've heard there are showers in the building but they're by the bike lockers so I'll have to see what they're like.
Have a great day everyone!

Scott, I was just reading Ray Sharps training log. He is a 51 year old world class race walker and he did a nice warm up 5K in 23 min. That just amazes me, but it shows that if you work at it you can walk faster than most can run. My best 5K walking has been just under 32 min.
When you are all healed and ready to train again I'll be glad to help you learn fast walking. Then we can meet for some events, I have a group that I've trained and we do halfs around the neighboring states.
Margie you are a jewel in so many ways. Why couldn't you live closer so I could get regular Margie hugs.
Vicky, that's good that there are running groups, once in a while it might be fun to join them at a race if training with them is not convenient. Sally and I are going to try to make a trip to Canada next year and see you and Kimmer. I want to throw my old wedding ring into the falls.
Mike you are doing great. Heck if I heal properly I may even have to option to do a run ever now and then, although I perfer the race walking now.
I saw in Margie's injury list that a lot of us are laid up with ouchies and need to heal up. The heat doesn't help either. So everyone feel better.
Hope I'm so excited for you.
Dave

Good Morning Team!
OK, the computer erased my first post, so I guess I have to try again, and remember what I wrote! (Someday I will learn to write this in word first then copy it to the post.)
Vicky you asked how hot it was here, well, it is usually about 50 degrees when I start my morning walks just after sunrise, and it is about 60 to 70 degrees when I am finished. It warms up quickly after sunrise. The high will generally be somewhere between the mid 80s to the mid 90s. The good thing is that we do not have high humidity. Today I was lucky that there were some clouds and the sun did not come out until I was done it was 80 degrees by 9am today.
Dave are you taking any anti-inflammatory drug? (Aspirin or Ibuprofen) When I was dealing with PF, I always wore a support shoe with my inserts in them, (and I still do). My physical therapist blamed my PF on a summer of wearing crocs and sandals. I also found the night splint that keeps your foot at a 90 degree angle with you leg very helpful.
Regina try the stick (you can google it), it is a massage tool that you use on yourself. I have seen them at runningwearhouse.com and at most of the race expos (where they will give you a demo massage with it). I also like a cool pool swim after a race, or if there is no pool available, a cool (rather than iced) soak in a tub.
Today we (the dogs and I) did a 6 mile walk. I am finding that when I concentrate on my walking form, I can keep up a sub 17 m/m pace, but when my mind wanders, my pace increases to over 18 m/m. Today, my best pace was the last mile when I average a 16:30 m/m, but my overall average was 17:30 so I still need a lot of work in the speed category.
Pixie dust to all who are in need!
Have a great day all!

Dave - I've thought about doing the same thing too 
You should sell it and use it for a Disney trip or something fun with Sally Can't wait to see you both! Are you going to do a race while you're both here?
Regina - I also forgot to add that with an ice bath. Start with lukewarm water and get in, have a towel or shirt wrapped around you and then start adding the ice slowly. It won't feel as bad that way.

Hello Everyone!
Margie - Happy Birthday!! I hope you had a great day.
Scott & Lynn - Happy Belated Anniversary!
Vicky - Congrats on your race.
Scott - I hope your surgey goes well next week
AFM - The July gloom has disappeared and the hot weather has shown up. It was 100 deg today. We did a bit over 3 miles yesterday which went well considering how hot it was. Took today off and will be back out after work tomorrow.

Hey Team!
Dave- How was Twilight? Did Sally like it?
Margie- Did you have a good birthday? Not sure if Im doing too many reps? DH doesnt seem to think I am, but what does he know? If Im still really sore on Friday I think I am going to take that day off and just rest. Did you get everything you wanted to accomplish done?
Scott- I hope the surgery next week goes well.
Mike- Have fun with the new laptop! Hope Robert likes his new bicycle! Haha, Im sure youll look fine in pink. So do you think Liz will be interested in the Princess half?
Vicky- Yup! Soreness, is definitely from the weights!!! Let us know what you decide on the running groups.
Lynn- Way to go on the 6 miles! Do you have any specific plans on how youre going to work on speedwork?
Emily- 100 degrees!
Whereabouts are you (north, south, east, west)? Hope the weathers a little nicer for your run tomorrow! Where are you guys staying for the Disneyland half? Have you been to Disneyland before?
Hope- How's work? Slowing down at all? So what other details of your wedding do you already have planned?
AFM, I did something different today. I took my running clothes with me and after work changed at the gym to save some time instead of driving home, changing, and then going to the gym. I ran 4 miles. It was a long 4 miles because my legs felt like lead, but it was still a good run. I felt good when I finished (despite the slow pace). Plan to run another 4 miles tomorrow. Thanks for all your suggestions on the cold baths and rollers! I appreciate it!

Lynn: How has your knee been doing?
Scott: Hope the surgery relieves your knee pain.
Vicky: How is the calf doing?
Regina: I am seriously considering the Princess in 2012. I did the first one. I love the medal. Oh for the leg pain we use "The Stick" borrowed Dave's a few years back at marathon weekend and had to go out and buy one they are awesome.
Margie: How was your birthday?
Dave: Yaaaa another trip to the Falls!!!!!!
AFM Didn't do anything yesterday, was hit with a massive headache and just went to bed before it turned into a migrane. Eatting is going really well. Tomorrow is my first weight in since I have tightened up my diet. Fingers are crossed.

Yes we liked the new twilight movie. This one had lots of action so i liked it a lot better than the second one and I never saw the first.
I still think we need a movie with WerePandas. Grrrrrrrrrr!
Sally and I had a nice date night, unfortunately it's back to work for both of us today.
Vicky it's better closure if the old ring is destroyed in the waters of the falls. Like the ring in Lord of the Rings, the destruction of the ring is necessary for final closure.
PF is still there but it appears better each day so we shall see, target dat for resuming training is next wed.
Have a magical day y'all.

Good Morning Team!
Thanks Emily!
Regina no plans for speedwork, I am hoping that as I get used to walking longer distances that the speed will just increase. I know that I can race faster than I train I used to train at a 16 m/m and could race at just over a 15 m/m, so I am hoping that will still be the case. I never have been very good at remembering to include speed intervals to my walks.
Kim knee pain has not been too bad, it is to the point where the good knee hurts about the same as the bad knee, it is tolerable, mostly it just hurts when I have been sitting for more than 20 min then it takes me awhile before I can walk normally.
Margie glad to hear that you are feeling better!
Dave glad that you had a good date, and that the PF is getting better.
We only got in 2 miles this morning, Kali (one of the malamutes) really did not want to walk this morning, she kept trying to turn around I do not know if it is because she gets breakfast when she gets back home, or she is just getting worn out from our walks she is not young. So, I did turn around to make it a 2 mile walk, also because I am planning a 10 mile walk tomorrow. I will spend more time on the bike downstairs later today. I did try some speed intervals on my way back not very successfully. Tomorrow I will have to set the alarm to get up early to beat the heat supposed to be 92 tomorrow, so it will probably heat up early.
Pixie dust to all who are in need!
Have a great day all!
Thanks Emily!
Regina no plans for speedwork, I am hoping that as I get used to walking longer distances that the speed will just increase. I know that I can race faster than I train I used to train at a 16 m/m and could race at just over a 15 m/m, so I am hoping that will still be the case. I never have been very good at remembering to include speed intervals to my walks.
Kim knee pain has not been too bad, it is to the point where the good knee hurts about the same as the bad knee, it is tolerable, mostly it just hurts when I have been sitting for more than 20 min then it takes me awhile before I can walk normally.
Margie glad to hear that you are feeling better!
Dave glad that you had a good date, and that the PF is getting better.
We only got in 2 miles this morning, Kali (one of the malamutes) really did not want to walk this morning, she kept trying to turn around I do not know if it is because she gets breakfast when she gets back home, or she is just getting worn out from our walks she is not young. So, I did turn around to make it a 2 mile walk, also because I am planning a 10 mile walk tomorrow. I will spend more time on the bike downstairs later today. I did try some speed intervals on my way back not very successfully. Tomorrow I will have to set the alarm to get up early to beat the heat supposed to be 92 tomorrow, so it will probably heat up early.
Pixie dust to all who are in need!
Have a great day all!

Just a quick check in today! I ran 5 miles at a pace of 10:04, which is a little faster than what it's been lately. Looking back at my log, it's still a little slow for me. The news said storms here today, but the sun is now shining!
Dave~ I agree with Vicky, sell the ring at a cash for gold store! That's what I did, and it was put towards a Disney spending fund. If you throw it in the falls, it will just sink, the gold store will melt it!
Regina~ I'll talk to Liz and see if she will do the Princess. Right now we have 3 trips planned for the Wine and Dine, family trip in October at WDW, and again in January for marathon weekend. I don't know if she will go for another expense, but it would be her first half marathon. We'll see....
AFM~ I'll be puting the laptop away until this Sunday when I will have time to sit down and bond with it.

Good Morning Team!
Margie, How's pilates going? Did you have time or were you doing other things?
Vicky, Any other races before Scotia? I've tretty much decided on Goofy. Going just for the race. Annual passes will have expired & don't want to spend $ on a park tickets. If you see a good price for flying out of yyz please let me know & vice versa. Usually I'm a Buffalo flyer but going to do TO instead for this trip.
AFM, Spin class last night and 5 tonight.
