Saturday morning - who's up?

[Wines Not Whines]

Who's up and what are your plans for the day? Good luck to everyone racing!

[Wines Not Whines]

I'm up and getting ready to meet up with a group for 10-12 miles on my favorite running trail. The run will be followed by bagels and cupcakes.

[clseale]

I'm up! Almost to the 5k (it's an hour away). My knee hurts & it's alread 72 and humid (race doesn't start for another 1.5 hrs) so that's cool. It's fine. I never have a goal for this race. LOL

ETA: Smart move, @vtcupcake. Even though I though I was being somewhat good, I winded up walking 8 miles on Saturday before Boston & almost 7 on Sunday. It's tough when you're in a different city.

[jreeds]

I'm up! Headed out for 8 once I can get my anxiety about bears under control,lol!

[jreeds]

Good luck racers!

[hannahb]

At the trailhead for team practice. Early as I want to get some miles in on my own.

[wambam]

I'm up to try 5 miles at a local trail. Err, you know, NOT running through Churchill downs.

ETA: 5 miles with a little walking. I'm sad but also hopeful.

Eye on the prize

We went to a breakfast birthday party, then took the kids to swimming lessons. The boys got pictures taken in the afternoon. I discovered a new crossfit box close to my house, so I'm excited to try it out next week.

Up getting ready to meet up with running friends for 20. Last long run of the training cycle!

Good luck to all the racers!

[meganncolo]

Up and just puttering around. DS and I are solo this weekend so no run. I did play hooky from work yesterday. I was able to go for a run and get all my weekend errands done.

[gt7301b]

We are out of milk, so I am going to stop and get coffee and then run some errands. I'll work out this afternoon after I get my haircut and have lunch with a friend.

[woowoo]

Up! My 2 hour ride will be on my trainer again thanks to still-craptastic weather here in Chicago! Ah well...I have some TV to catch up on anyway.

Have a great race to all the racers today!

[CallingAllAngels]

I'm up. Not running bc DS has an early soccer game. On our way out the door, DD ran to the cupboard, grabbed a bucket, and barfed in it. So the girls are at home on the couch while the boys are at soccer.

DS has another game at 11:30, so I think we will switch.

Who knows what the rest of the day will hold?

[venice2007]

REST DAY!!!!! Up enjoying coffee now. Then I need to clean, do laundry, yoga challenge day 6, maybe vac my car out and errands

[niq]

Headed to the edible plant sale and nearby donut shop this morning.

Running 9 or so during babyniq's nap time.

I was 4/6 on weekday workouts -- skipped the Monday night trainer ride (burnt out from the work day) and the Friday swim (pool was too busy).

[cookies]

Good luck racers!
I am all showered up after a 3 mile tempo run this morning. Now I have to run out and buy teacher appreciation gifts. Bbq and baby holding at my bro's house later today.

[mrs.jacinthe]

At the pool. Pretending the doors aren't open early because I'm not looking forward to this. Lol

I ran 9. I was trying to hit half pace the last 3 but fell about 10 seconds short.

Yesterday I helped set up for the C&O 100 and ran packet pick up for 8 hours. The ultra community fascinates me. So many interesting people. And you get the pacers signing in who say they are "only running 40 miles". Only?! They started at 7 am this morning. I hope the rain holds off as long as possible for them.

[runblondie26]

Good luck @mrrsjacinthe! You'll be done and basking in the endorphins soon!

Finished 1 hr on the elliptical, 15 mins spin bike, and JM Ripped in 30.

Headed to the LRS now. I concede I can't figure out the shoe thing on my own. Two more pairs were delivered this week, and I could feel right out of the box they weren't going to work for me. If I'm going to pay MSRP for shoes, I really hope they are going to have insightful advice to offer.

[katyintx]

I'm up. This week kicked my butt so I slept in until about 9, which was glorious! Now I'm going to be heading out to do a quick speed workout, and later today we're heading to a wedding.

Good luck racers!

[jamalynn]

Up and finished the muddy buddy 3k OCR with my fam. DS rocked it. He was so excited and sprinted almost the whole thing. DD liked it and did well, but not quite the excitement as DS. Dude killed it!

Good luck racers!

runblondie26 - enjoy some "me time" at the LRS. Hope you find a good one. Report back on what you find.

[taratru]

Yeah, I got druuuuunk last night. DH had to come pick me up. So I didn't get up for body pump. I'll have to get my car later. Also being on my feet all night means they hurt today. #hotmess

[notatree]

12 miles!!!! Walking it off right now. First Half is in 2 weeks!

[keweenawlove]

I just finished a half marathon in 1:43. Pretty happy with the time. It was crazy rainy but I made it out blister free.

I can't attach the picture from my phone but if anyone really wants to see it, I can PM you my Instagram

[bostonmichelle]

Already done with my half 2:03. That was a tough course and it rained the entire time. Now for beer and food.

[runblondie26]

Sweet baby Jesus, somebody hold me. I just spent $181 on a pair of running shoes. (insert crying emoji here)

A new store opened up a few minutes away from my house, so I didn't drive up to Big Peach jamalynn. I still think they are the gold standard around here. This place didn't have a treadmill to test fit, and the sales guy basically brought me every pair of shoe I'd already tried on my own. I ended up walking out with the Brooks Transcend, which is a new one to me.

At least I can console myself by knowing I have insurance. If I don't like these either, I can return them used anytime within the next 30 days for something else.

Well I'm glad you got a new pair. Hopefully they work out for you.
