Tango Tuesday

[mcshame]

Why not, it's never too early to dance.

Good run this morning with 10 strides, 13k @ 4:35.

Bought a new minivan yesterday, Dodge Grand Caravan. Getting it delivered at the end of the month, just in time for our trip to Toronto and Stowe, Vermont in August. 1st American (Canadian) car purchase, God help me....

[JacSprat]

28km bike from home to work this morning. I got soaked from the fog Taking the easy way home and meeting dh at his physio appointment in town. So about 31km by the end of the day.

Have a good one everyone!

[Jo-Jo]

Cooler with less humidity in the air today.
Taking C-Moss to the vet for her post surgery checkup today.

Speed workout this evening at RMC with Audey.

Pretty well a repeat of yesterday's tempo workout, 5K / 23:15, except about a 1 minute and change faster this morning, in the 'hoods of Kanata ... Woke up at 5am, and checked the weather channel, as it was already at 19C, with showers, in the forecast before 8am, and wanted to avoid that ... Afterwards, headed to the Club, on my usual time, for 30 minutes of R&R in the chair ...

Positive vibes to my Cyber Puppy, C-Moss ....

McShame: Congrats on the new bus!
C-Moss: Hope to hear you back on your doggy legs soon!

Nice cool wet riding weather this morning!

[ceileigh]

6K speed = 1K warm up, 4K on track at a local high school, 1K cool down heading back home. 85% humidity, 0 wind at 6AM ... I would have liked showers! No rain here at all. Have to go water the flowers ...

Umm, her doggy legs are fine, it's her ear that has the issue, Cr@sh ...

No tango in my step today.
Took the lazy way out and stayed in bed when the s/o got up. Scored me an extra 2 hours of (obviously) much needed sleep.
Appt at noon, stretching tonight (if it kills me!).

Enjoy the day.

Took the road bike out this morning for the first time in ......um, a long time. It was very humbling.

Work 11-8 (whew!)... then home for a much needed three days off

[La]

3.5K done first thing this morning. I need to get my morning routine timed better as I was about 5 minutes late to catch my train, so had to drive to work instead.

[msdesigner]

Rest/sick day for me. Ugh..... going back to bed. The good news is that my home is now 10C cooler than it has been for the past 11 days!!

[blank]

The weather cleared out so nicely yesterday evening I thought this morning would be nice clear air. No such luck, muggy and overcast.

Anyway, 15K done at a steady pace.

[trixiee]

Bike ride today - 20K..
Have come to the realization that I need to make a physio appt. Knee isn't as good as it should be (I don't think) for 6 weeks post surgery. Still a lot of tightness, pain and swelling, and now that stupid plantar fasciitis is roaring it's head again.

No rain here - just clouds. Lots of plant watering happening here too!

[Marg]

Slightly longer run commute this morning taking the parkway for better scenery. ETA to add distance: 5.25kms
Cooler maybe, but the humidity is nasty. I'm still sweating.

Run home is TBD at this point...

[Dr. S]

urgh hope your knee and PF gets better Pat!

5 miles before work, 12:10 min/mile pace, good enough =)

[erinmcd]

Legs felt a bit heavy this morning. 10k @ 4:48. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

[purdy65]

Wow!

I had some suprising pep in my legs this morning!

13K in total with 9K@ 5:00m/K Total = 1:07:30

Have a good one!

55 min in Z1 done -- pushing 18 month old grand son in the jogger - so shoulders got a workout too!!!

And got an email this morning confirming that I will be the 2:20 (continuous) pace bunny for the Army 1/2 marathon in Sept -- I am really excited -- never done the pace bunny gig before.... should be fun

I am surprised that you are not still in physio post knee surgery.

I am not sure what surgery you had, but when I had mine (cartlidge clean up on the back of the kneecap and a lateral release) I was in physio for at least three months, as my quad atrophied - jiggly like Jell-O . I also had the muscles around my knee seizing up - they were trying to protect the site of the 'trama' aka the surgery site.

I had a great physio - she was a sports physio and tailored my program to my needs/goals. I seriously have never worked so hard in physio before or since - she was a tiny little thing but a slave driver She was fantastic.

It has been raining here for what seems like forever! I hope to get 10-12 km in after work Taking my mom to see a movie this evening.

Have a great day maniacs!

[Joe Dwarf]

45 minutes planned for tonight. It's turned cold and drizzly here. Blech.

Appointment made with my slave driver tomorrow. I did have a few simple exercises from the hospital, but not enough...

[ultraslacker]

good morning... I think!

Had a terrible sleep last night (insomnia is normal for me but seems to be worse lately... possibly due to my impending race and/or too many overnight shifts!). Then I was late for work and I'm soooo sleepy!

But I need to run tonight. Distance tbd.

[ratherBrunning]

trixiee -- Good luck with physio for your knee. Fingers crossed for you.
purdy65 -- Great run, speedy girl!
orleansrunner1962 -- Congrats on the Bunny gig! I'm really happy for you!

18+ km -- Good muddy, splashy fun!

[runlolarun]

I actually did it - I was up and out the door by 5:00am. Ran 7K in 43:22. The real test will be if I can do it again tomorrow.
Take care, all.
