Sunday. A day to remember.
Usually do 1 hour in the trails with my dog and then drive home, put her in, and continue for more. But Sunday was cool, wet and she just begged to go longer. She ran for 1:10 and then I put her in the car. I went back into the trails for 40 minutes. I returned, and she jumped out, ready to go for more, so we ran another 25 minutes together. It was awesome. she slept for 3 hours straight after that. I cut the grass.
AM - 3 easy miles.
PM - 9 easy miles with 4* accelerations (50 meters at about 1500, 50 at 800, 50 at 400, then 250 easy).
Memorable indeed.
Weds. rest,for no particular reason.
Thurs.5 miles mixed tempo. 4x's 30 seconds to cap the night. Savoring fall with all my might.
yesterday: major bike commute, fast and furious
today: bought fish, walking
tomorrow: kids athletics starts again: 2 hours (last season, only 1...)
30 minutes on catski's.
Heading north to the Birkebeiner trail today.Teaming with 2 other Master's runner's. The "Pressed Rats" have a Marathon relay title to defend tommorrow. (I love these age handicapped events).
The emblazoned colors of the northern handwoods are stunning.
A nice 5 miler before the sun came up...got it out of the way so can spend some quality time tonight with the girlfriend.
today: kids track, 2hours, quite the workout...

Pressed Rats Trio came up 1:08 short in their bid to repeat.50% increase in participation and an equal or greater increase in the competive nature of the field made for an interesting outing on the Birke trail.
3 men ,6 segments,26.2 miles on a glacial rollercoaster in 3;03;17.
Twin Cities 3 some did better.
got through a really minimal cold and back on the roads....30' thursday and 37' saturday....the humidity is gone and there's a bit of autumn in the air....very refreshing....
today: ...as i type, i am being assaulted by an incredibly an motivated flu...
that's worth some rest for sure.
The FLU bites. Hope you feel better soon. It's early in the season, too. That can't be good.
Thursday: DNR, family stuff.
Friday: Drive to NH, 10:00 on exercise bike at motel
Saturday: Ran 4 mile leg in Relay Race. Warm, breezy and sunny. Foot felt OK.
Today: Travel home, yardwork (including moving a small boulder...lots of fun), then switched from watching the Dolphins stomp the Patriots on TV, to the Ryder Cup, which the USA won.
Recovery Day, relaxed 2;38 on the road bike. 27 miles, great weather and trail conditions.
Speedy return to full health, you fellows.
thank-you gents.
A good night's sleep did wonders but still not 100%.
Taking it easy at least one more day.
Got to live by your word...
1 hour 45 minutes mowing the lawn...may not count as a workout in the strictest running sense, but when you haven't mowed it in two weeks...
Push mowing is a workout. DYRT post #1800 falls to you gonzo.
7 miles @ 10:00/mile pace. More sore from the hard 10 mile trail run of Sat. than last weeks easy long run of 26.
gonzo, i'd call it AEROBIC EMPOWERMENT!
two good nights of sleep vs FLU: pushover.
Bike commute. Hoping to go for a quick one in the afternoon.
1800? Me?? Wow...
Anyway, I was pressed for time today, had to cook dinner this PM, so I did 1.5-miles in just over 12-minutes. My legs felt good as did the foot. I may have the PF under control FINALLY.
yesterday: no run, instead took a bunch of schoolkids with my children to the park for some running around, games, ect. Good 1 hour of activity. They were pleased.
AM: 2Km barefoot walk in the park
PM: hoping to go for some easy Kms
Yesterday. Still flat from Saturday.Bailed on a short interval session with the CC team.Easy 1.3 mile cooldown.
