Just read everything quickly

Urlea love the new avatar! You ARE amazing! I can't even fathom getting up at that time and running in the dark on icy horrible roads, w/ wind and snow. I KNOW what your weather is like because we are having it too.

Syndirelah lucky you being able to run on a nice surface

Aggie_ama I live in it but I don't run in it! Urlea is way tougher than I will ever be. hmmmm I have skied when it was -15 F w/ a wind ( I never checked the wind chill - I didn't want to know

However, I don't know how all of you do it running in the heat and humidity. In the summer if we run or bike in the early AM it is still very cool (mid to upper 60's) it doesn't usually heat up until about noon.

Yesterday I did my recovery run ON THE TREADMILL thank you very much!
my calves are still very sore - I think I have to go visit my friend the massage therapist and have her work on them.
Once I am stretched and loosened up they are fine so I am sure it isn't any type of injury. I iced them after and that helped a lot.
so now it is stretch, ice and roll.

The run was 2 miles that I took at an easy pace 12:15 - 11:30.
I walked a mile after that started as a cool down but ended up being a "just for fun" walk. I started at a 15 min mile (4.0) then kept bumping the TM up 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 just to see how fast I could maintain the pace just walking. I quit at 4.3 (about a 13:30 min mile) but it will be fun to see if I can bump it up next time.

My dear DBF could WALK a 12 minute mile - I was always running to keep up (and muttering at him how rude he was and to slow down) but you would think I would be in way better running shape!

Tomorrow I am scheduled for 1 mi wu, 3 mi intervals 1 mi cool down

BUT I have a big 40th B'day bash to go to tonight - so far I have every intention of being home early and in good shape!
