Re: Lazy THURSDAY
One way and a bit bike commute for me - so 31km.
I got followed by a dog this morning. It was running behind me so I picked up the pace as fast as I could go and it fell behind but didn't give up - running along as fast as it could go...in the middle of the road. I imagined arriving at work with a dog
, or worse having it give up and be miles from home (assuming it has a home). So I stopped and tried to figure out what to do, and while I was 
it crosssed the road to investigate a ditch...so I snuck off 
Poor thing. It was a nice dog. Be great to run with!
Have a good day everyone!

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
I had a dog run home with me once. Gave it water and drove it back home afterwards...
I said yesterday was going to be a miserable day, and it was much worse than I could have imagined. Michelle dad spent the day in the hospital with global transient amnesia. We thought it was a stroke but it wasn't. It is a very very scary condition but will just go away after 24-48 hours except you will never remember that day in your life. The brain is a wild thing!
Completely wrecked this week and it's not over yet, IT system implementation this weekend.
16.2k @ 4:50. Didn't have much kick but got it done. Here's hoping for a better day.

Sounds very scary. Hope he gets better soon.
Re: Lazy THURSDAY
Had a nice 6.53K Progression / Tempo type run this morning in the 'hoods of Kanata in my Brooks Green Silence ... Ran the middle 5K in about 22:18 after an easy 1K warmup ... in a nice balmy 20C / 30C humidex at 5am ... then headed to the Club for a much deserved 30 minutes of r&r in the chair ....

Hey!! I just got a pair of those yesterday. How did you find your orthotics fit in them? The foot bed seems a little narrow and mine seemed to stretch the fabric at the side.
4x1.15km trail intervals this morning, good times!

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
Beautiful morning out there.
15.6k progression run done. Just under 5 mins/k for the first 6, picked it up to about 4:40 for the next 3, then 5k @ 4:22, then a slow cool down for the last km. All together was on the road 1:11.

Keep on rolling, just a mile to go. Keep on rolling my old buddy, you're moving much too slow.

Same here, but pretty well fit the same in all my shoes, with my orthotics, as I tend to wear Mizunos and been playing with different light racing trainers / flats ... I've been wearing the D-Soles (Dean Kanarzes one) in my other shoes (Ronins / ST-4) and switching out my orthotics with my other shoes, Elixers 4 and 5, as of late ... which seems to have a wider/straighter "last" than the Green Silence ....
Where did you get yours from? I bought mine directly from Brooks via EPP program at store ...

I don't have any problem with them in my Ronins but the Greens seemed narrower, but like I said just got them yesterday so still need to play with them a bit. I got mine from Holabird.

Yep, because of the asysmetric (sp??) lacing system, I found that once I dialed in on them, had to stop once or twice to re-tie them, everything felt good-to-go ...
If you have a chance, you may want to try the new Saucony Kinvara's ...
eta: I should buy a couple more from Brooks, sooner than later, eh !!

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
Lorne - I am sorry to hear about Michelle's father. I hope you are all doing ok!!
Today is an unknown. I was hoping to run tonight but a friend wants to go out for *$ with me after work, and I have a pile of chores to do since I was away from home for the weekend. Why doesn't laundry get done on it's own? And why doesn't the bathroom clean itself?
Aside from that, I might be able to sneak in a run between loads of laundry
Hopefully I don't melt!
Stay hydrated everyone!!

When your legs get tired, run with your heart.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

I'm heading out to see what passes for 'lane swimming' at my local outdoor pool. If there's lane ropes I"ll be happy.

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
My legs are so tired today!! I tossed and turned a lot last night because they were sore!
I took my clinic out for a hill training workout last night, and, although I only did a total of 1 hill (I did 2, but, only ran the first half of the 2), my legs feel shot!
It was about 7.5 km overall though.....that could be part of it!

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
Started the day with an easy 8.6K, 5.6K on trails (two loops of Old Quarry Trail). First run in my new La Sportiva Crosslites - great shoe. Came close to four deer including two fawns with their spots. A beautiful morning.
Re: Lazy THURSDAY
Came back yesterday from Switzerland and France. I wish I could have stayed longer...
Today, back to marathon training: 8 hills plus warmup and cool-down, about 10k total.
Tomorrow, I go back to work. I am not looking forward to it.
Sending vibes to your FIL, McShame.

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
Today, is tempo run day, my favorite...(NOT!)
45 minutes -
I am really bad with tempo runs - I never know which pace, for how long...how fast the warm up...
I just bought my new Asics shoes (GT 2150) - I chose them black
it is the first time in 15 years of running I get a pair of black running shoes - gives a mean look and I like it

Work got in the way of a couple of runs earlier this week, but I did a 9.3k run commute this morning.

VERY easy jog this morning to loosen up my (sore!) legs. Just under 5K done in just under a half hour.

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
Rest day and dinner out tonight.
Itching to run Tomorrow is another day.
I missed Santana last night... I just couldn't lift my butt off the couch to head over to BluesFest and I'm kicking myself for it today.
Well I still have a few other performers to try to make an effort to see.

Re: Lazy THURSDAY
It's been a crazy morning at this office - we are packing for our move to the new building. Yeah, I commuted via the Qwy for the last time!!! 
I feel great after last night's mid week long run (17 km). Not sure I will get a run in today as I will be busy getting ready for my weekend at the Sandbanks. If the sunshine holds, I will be stayer longer!
Have a great one!!
