Good grief that was HOT and Humid!! Had a workout today and boy was it a workout. Thank goodness it was short intervals or else I wouldn't have made it.

Initially warmed up 14 minutes and was going to do the 6x2min up the road hill by the dam. Started busting up the hill and with NO breeze, extreme humidity, and the hot sun roasting me I decided that I wasn't going to be able to sustain the workout there. It pissed me off, and I started yelling at myself in my head to get the workout done! SO, after a 56 minute 'warm up' it was GO time. Did the workout on the second loop of Chalco, and boy I have to say the effort was there, paces weren't easy. Felt good to fight back and get it done. I was sopping once I finished. Good to have that under the belt. Phew.

Felt pretty good through 3. Then Usual Suspects acted up and I had to run slower for about a mile.

In the last mile I kept hearing this popping that sounded like the effect when I get a text on my phone. But I had left my phone at home. It turned out to be coming from the shoulder I separated 3 years ago. It didn't hurt but its probably not a good thing.
  • getfuzzy getfuzzy you don't need another Usual Suspect now in the shoulder. :(

14 x 30 secs. Not sure of the pace, but it felt hard given the weather.

Is anyone else getting attacked by a lot of birds? This happened to me in midtown, near the CLink, in Iowa, on the Z trail along 168th. I don't know what's happening. I've never been anti-bird. I've never refused to do business with a bird. I'm tolerant of birds. I mean, yes, I actively protested against bird marriage, but I've still been very cordial with them.
  • Pedro Pedro I run similar locales minus the Z, and have no bird attacks to report.
    • posted at 02:42:00 EDT
  • getfuzzy getfuzzy what does the bird look like? There is a good chance it is a redwing blackbird or a barn or tree swallow with nests nearby. But I'm just guessing....

Plan was 4 x 10:00 at threshold pace. My legs have felt like lead all week, and today was no different. Got through 3 reps then bailed.

2 miles warmup
3 x 10:00 / ~2:00 recovery (1.51/1.49/1.52)
2 miles cooldown

Off to Minneapolis tomorrow morning to visit the fam. If all goes as planned, I'll be running the first 19ish miles of the marathon course Saturday AM. And drinking copious amounts of Surly afterwards...
  • getfuzzy getfuzzy sounds like a winner! Gonna be a hot one on Saturday--Surly will taste soooo good. :)

Started really quick, but then.....Mile 10 was brutal. If this body would hold up, I could've used about another hour out there. So many changes happening, I can barely process it all! Sheesh. One lesson I've learned that I can share~Time heals all wounds. Hang tough.

To top it all off--My baby turns 8 today! :( I'm planning on cuddling her up and putting her in my pocket...for today anyway.

Have a great Thursday. :)

Estimated miles in a Garmin free zone. With 12 intervals of 25 seconds hard/1 minute easy in the middle of the run.

Song of the day: "Free Me!" by Roger Daltrey. Yesterday's SOTD from the Who got me thinking about the solo work from the guys. Totally forgot about this powerful song from Roger. What his voice may lack in melodic range he more than makes up for in muscle. And Roger's passion is evident from blood-curdling cry of "Won't Get Fooled Again" to the bittersweet emotion of "Love, Reign O'er Me".

Tough to breath this morning with the humidity. Took it really easy after my 90 minute massage last night. I had her focus mainly on my legs. Thought I'd have some bruises in my calves but they felt pretty good this morning.

Fortunately our heat pump appears to be fixed. New compressor appears to have done the trick. Glad that the hit was under $400. I was expecting worse.
