Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

[Clare, you know how to read that title...]

Ran the Parkway 5K @ 7min pace. The first mile was too slow (stuck at the back of the pack), the second mile too fast, and no kick left for the end. But no excuses...

Rollerbladed, in brand new KMart (thank you Stanley Kresge) blue light special "Lunatic" blades, heh, up to Falls Rd bridge and back with Miss B.

le weekend

Slow, easy 5-6mi up to US Grant statue and back. Lots of team-in-training folks out on Kelley Drive. Must be people getting ready for the Philly marathon?

week's end

thurs: played ball with wharton.

fri: 3 fast miles along the river.

Pottruck

mix it up: 5 minutes warmup @ 7:30, just 2 miles @ 6.45, jump rope.

Pottruck

Ran 5K at 7:04 pace.

Pottruck

Short (3 miles at easy pace) gym trip to shake the legs out.

PDR!

Did the half-marathon this AM. Ran with Miss B. We started in a too slow corral, which was frustrating but maybe a blessing in disguise because it kept me from dying around mile 10. Left to my own, I would have wasted most of my energy on the first half. As it turned out, I barely noticed the first 6 miles go by. I only kicked the last 1.5mi hard, but was glad to have something left in the tank to finish with... and to feel empty at the end.

Almost forgot to mention: as we were rounding the art museum to head out West River Drive, they played Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on the sound system. Reminded me of the awesome conclusion to Live8 :-)

quick shake

Just a short run up to waterworks to get the legs moving...

Pottruck Redux

La même chose encore.
Encore, la même chose. (Thanks to Stéphane for the grammar corrections :-)

Pottruck

Ran 3 miles @ 7:30 pace. Doing more eating than running this week :)

Weekend

Fri: absolutely nuthin.

Sat: SAPA vb with ISSVC (level was a little low but nice to be out in the sun... and we won, hooray!)

Sun: sunrise run up to falls bridge.

Rowing Shell

Early morning run with Miss B. up the Schuylkill to the rowing shell.

US Grant

Yes he drank a lot, but he probably suffered from depression and dammit, he saved the Union.

(Nice day, lots of runners out. Went out really fast. Came back not so fast. I need a watch, eh?)

Catchup

I can see this blogging thing is going to fall by the wayside:

Monday: played grass vb for 2hrs with Pigs.

Tuesday: 1hr of cardio + jump rope at Pottruck.

Sunny + Friends

couple of hours of grass 2s with sunny and a few of his friends. a great way to avoid writing that POPL review and prepping for my meeting with Luc tomorrow...

US Grant

A stunningly beautiful day. Ran to everyone's favorite civil war general. (That's a lie: I prefer "the rock of chickamauga" myself, but can't expect everyone to be a history geek).

Fri, Sat, ...

Fri: played an hour of vb with the med kids.

Sat: went to pottruck for 45 minutes of cardio. it's a georgeous day. would've loved to run but banged up my knee yesterday so wanted to do something low impact :(

ISSVC

played a couple hours of ball with chinese kids. absolultely the best ball i've played in at least 24hrs.
