Hi team! It's a quiet day here, everyone's in meetings except for me so I figure I'll sneak in a quick post.
Sue - It feels like that every year for me as soon as the CNE starts up. Btw, did you hear about some of the new "treats" they're offering this year. Fried butter... I know it's covered in batter but I think I nearly gagged when someone told me about that. How's training for Niagara coming along?
Margie - I wished shipping from the Running Warehouse wasn't so expensive to Canada. Actually maybe that's a good thing or I'd be ordering stuff from them all the time
for your cold! It's been around long enough already! Time to go!
Dave - Yeah for a new and refreshed Panda! How's the training coming along for the senior Olympics?
Mary - Hope you're having fun in Houston! Hanging around and relaxing sounds like the way to go! I love crabcakes too!
Mike - WTG on your 12 miler! Sounds like you had a fantastic run with a great pace! Have you tried some hip opening exercises? A couple of the ones I do are Spiderman crawls, deadlifting, Bulgarian squats w/weights... There are some yoga poses which are good for the hips as well but I'm not familiar with them.
Liz - Congrats on your tri! And you totally rocked the time! I've always wanted to enter a tri but think I wouldn't do well in the swimming. I'm afraid of heights so I'd have a difficult time practicing in the pool.
AFM - I went out to run with the running group last night. I joined the 5K group and had lots of fun! It's kind of nice to go on a run and not to worry about time or pace. They did ask me why I was running with their group since I'm "speedy". So I told them I had been tapering for the 30K and now I was recovering. They were all impressed - it's so rare I get to do that
I was talking to people at work a little more about the upcoming 1/2 in September and one of the other girls I sit with are both trying for a goal of 2:00. So we were trying to figure out how we were going to finish. She's a continuous runner and I'm a run/walk person so we can't pace each other
We'll probably just end up going with the pace bunnies and hope to get there. I might try to increase my intervals to 15/1 and then run the last 3-6 miles of the 1/2. I know to get a 2:00 finish, I'll have to hit the 10K mark around 55 minutes which I've never done before. I'm thinking that maybe a 2:07 might be more realistic.
Have a great day everyone!
