Long Runs -- 9/18 - 9/24

Congrats to both of you! Had to laugh about the part with the shorts on backwards. That is something I can totally see myself doing!

Congratulations, Deb!!! Funny about the shorts. I have a talent for doing things backwards myself. Wind is tough to run in, so good for you on your time, too. I'm glad it was such a good run for you. There's nothing like the energy of the crowd that lifts you up!

Deb and Limewire, congrats on your races. Limewire, awesome time. I wish I could do a half that fast. I can do just barely over a 10 min mile, but only for one mile. Deb, too funny about the shorts. You rock.


My "long run" turned out to be only a 5 mile today - it was supposed to be 8, but I just ran out of time. I had to teach sunday school (not just assist like usual) and my one son had hockey this afternoon, then they both had a birthday party to attend, and then I thought I was going to take them swimming, but read the schedule wrong and the pool was closed by the time the birthday party was over.

Lise, as for the HRM, I think they do have a place in training. I know that as a biginning runner I sometimes don't know when I am pushing too hard, versus pushing the right amount of hard. By running with an HRM I have been able to get faster. Then again, I am a bit geeky.

My boss refers to herself as an "information junkie" -- she wears her HRM every time she works out (Sounds better than a geek, right? )
