Nope, nothing like that. I've only once dealt with a female Doc...that was in an emergency room when I had food poisoning; not fun.
Ran 1.3 miles, warmdown, stretches (...then drove home from the track, laughing at the political commentators on radio waxing eloquent about Sarah Palin).
Felt very sluggish at first, but my foot never troubled me.
Thankful for small pleasures.
i'm not sure how you do it, driske......cc season actually reduces my running.....not that i could keep up with them anyway....still, all the other things get in the way....paperwork!!!.....i'm not a coach, i'm a secretary....oh, i did sneak in 33' yesterday when no one was watching.....maybe a longer run this weekend?...
specialO2, For one thing it's a very small program (15 total Kids) at a very small school (185 enrollment 9-12 grades).
There's 2 of us coaching and the AD, who doubles as bus driver, handles most of the paperwork , thank God.
10 mile total, split over 3 workouts. Finished with 20:41 5K at a local fair fun run.

as usual driske, you provide opportunity for further learning. From what i could dig up on the web it seems Johnson never actually made the Grand Tour to Italy...nonetheless, for sure he was an enlightened philosopher and writer...thank-you for stimulating a search for things learned long ago...
Still a couple of weeks to kids track. Looking forward to it.
yesterday: long bike commute
today: i will run at some point .
Mile walk with the dog. 2 mile run, stretches.
The PF is still at bay.
yesterday: 45mins warmup, barefoot in the park (very very dry dusty ground) short short strides. Then 10x250m "enriched" striders, concentrating on push and optimal stride length frequecy. exercises at the chin up bar.
There's a Nike Human Race 10k downtown tonight at the end of my shift, i have had no time to get a bib for. Might just go and tag along. Anybody know if 2euro($) on a 20euro($) bib price for charity is normal/standard? Anyraces that do better? Worse?
smoked a bowl of some really good marijuana, 5 mile tempo. perfect conditions, beautiful morning.
Sat. Rest with the exception of a few minutes running wind sprints in a game of old man kick the can.
Sunday, High noon ,7.1 miles @ 9:15 pace. Temp. 82 F.
It is otherwordly to consider Wanjuri running the race he did under those temperature ranges and finish looking that composed.
AM: 3/4 mile warmup walk with the dog.
2 mile run, stretches.
Later in the PM: unexpected 40-yard all-out sprint chasing my dog, bellowing his name and demanding he stop, out the driveway and down the street, when he went
in pursuit of something.
2 out of 3 neighbors, across the street and next door, witnessed my endeavor:
"Looks like your foot's better. What was he chasing, a squirrel?" One asked. (I never saw the thing in its' entirety, but the chipmunks and squirrels are abundant this year)
"I just saw your dog run by, heard you calling for him, then started to go after him, when you went flying by me" said the other.
Guess my foot's better than I thought. The dog NEVER gets a chance to go off his leash or rope lead, ever again.
NEVER TRUST A PUREBRED TERRIER, THEY WERE BRED TO CHASE SMALL RODENTS AND WILL...THIS GUY IS 11-YEARS-OLD, TOO.
16 running away from annoying boys. :)
22 mile run in 2:31. Felt good, but was a little depleted for my fantasy football draft at noon. I made some lame picks.
I see our TT is back! No matter, it adds some entertainment value.
Continuing base training. 74' today through trails and undulating fields. Very nice!
Keep up the good work, all!
Local 5K race. I opted not to walk the first part after all and essentially jogged it: got in the back of the pack, and ran as slowly as possible, the foot felt fine. My time was a ridiculous 25:05, but I wasn't pushing at all, and I'll take it after the summer I've had.
One surprise: 105th place out of 309...hmmmm. Of late, at my age, the goal is to keep more people behind me than in front of me. The surprise was the number of HS kids who did Bolt-impersonations for the first 1/3 mile.
The local HS for which this race is an athletic fundraiser, had both the boys & girls teams racing...big crowd. I found myself passing an enormous number of these kids before the 2 mile mark. Someone's gotta teach them restraint & tatics.
Happy Labor Day.
42:32 at a small 10K. Temps. in the mid 70's.It is absolutely quizzical to work so hard to run this slow.
Still more fun than sitting home mowing lawn, so we carry on.
gonzo, your valid observations of wide spread adolescent intemperance in regards to pace, are well taken.
Youth can be harder to hold in check than a barn sour nag.
don't worry about those kids....it's early in the season....they'll learn.....walpole?.....40-ish today (sans watch).....legs tired after being on my feet all week....but good to get out on a lovely day.....
"gather ye energies, while ye may,
while time is still a'flying,
for that same energy that burns today,
tomorrow will be dying..." ...somewhat rivisited...
yesterday: slow chatty jog in the park with 5fingers, real easy, real slow. Some walking on all fours, knees not touching. Stretching, chinupbar.
today: errands and bike commute. Groceries for the week weighed lika mother up the stairs...
2.75 miles on hills, stretching.
I HATE TUESDAY! Who the heck ever invented a garsh-darn oval anyway? Always feels like you're plodding through cement. Hate it!
Tried pulling myself along by some others but flip, not fun at all. Legs just aren't working. :(
Run - 5.5 AM easy, 4 PM 400's

tpcb,
that rhyme fits like a friendly old shoe,especially with fall marathon season approaching fast.
Muggy 1.85 miles, chasing the kids around their CC course.
