No, not Salty, just plain salty! Yep, that awesome, stinky wonderfulness that you experience after a good run in the heat. And of course I don't really mean heat, but both of my runs last weekend were in 60 degree weather. I actually sweat during those runs and had that familiar salt residue all over me when I was done. Pure bliss. Heh. The things that make me happy. :) It really was fun though - it also harkened back to the days of frothy Endurox. Hopefully those will be in my future soon too.I have been crazy busy at work. It was a gorgeous weekend (relatively speaking) and I spent most of it working. Oh well, when it rains it pours....
Greg had a great race - congrats
Joseph is coming into his own once again. Good luck on Thursday, man.
Aharmer and Northwoods Bryan have a big race coming up this weekend. GOOD LUCK!!!!
Joe+ is on the DL - get better soon!
Mainers is overseas enjoying a few pints with curry! Really!
No word from Hubitron in a while - hopefully his transitions/possibilies are going well.
I have been quiet on the blog arena b/c my running is pretty non-descript and as mentioned above, I am crazy busy. But progress is being made. My week:
M - rest
T - 6.5 miles (9:20)
W - 6.22 (8:51)
R - 5.06 (8:33)
F - rest
Sa - 8.7 (9:17)
Su - 12 (9:45)
Total: 38.5
Had I known I was close to 40 I would have logged an extra 1.5 on Sunday. But my legs were like lead on Sunday. Just tired. I haven't had the discipline to do any speed work lately. It is somewhat pathetic, but I am trying not to let running stress me. It is "my time" more than "training time" right now.
I have the MadCity 100K relay this weekend. I am in pretty hideous shape and still up 5 lbs so we'll see what happens. Again, I could use the ego check as a kick in the pants.
I ended up 3rd in my racing bracket for March Madness (damn Kansas!). 5K race in on Tuesday the 14th - I SO look forward to it. It should be a very small group of some fun people.
Run on my friends.

Thanks Mindi!
If you see a dark cloud rising on your northern horizon this Saturday morning, that will be the cloud of mud flying up around our feet.
Bryan,
I certainly hope so! You will do great! Just remember to adjust for conditions. People have told me that so many times and I ignored it only to be disappointed. Re adjust your goals and realize everyone is in the same boat. It sucks - especially for such long races that you have pushed for the PR, but my experience is that if you push though and bomb, you are disappointed. If you re-adjust and exceed your goals, well, it is a good season. :)
You will rock, I have no doubt. Just enjoy it too! I look forward to your race report
Sage advice. Don't you worry, I will both enjoy it and rock it.
Mindi, thanks for the nod. Things are generally good--did a workout yesterday and felt all right--still some dead-leggedness, but not as bad as last week...just taking it easy.
Hey, I got mentioned! It really doesn't take much to make me happy I guess :-)
39 miles is pretty good for a running lawyer super mom type. Glad to hear you're out there.
Hey Mindi, good news on your training. Almost 40 miles with a hectic schedule isn't so bad. Good luck in MadTown this weekend. I'd love to do the 100k there but the last road 100k I did almost killed me...kind of soured me on all of them.
Hi Mindi,
Have fun running your leg at the 100k relay. Before long you'll get your mojo back. :)
I'm going to be in town for the Mad City Marathon (pacing.) I wonder if you live nearby. I owe you an introduction!
Lloyd
Thanks all!
Did the rain let up in MN? It has been windy and rugged here. I truly am thinking of the trails in MN. I had a conference call this afternoon and was just watching the rain and blowing winds thinking of Bryan and Adam. I do hope it missed you today.
Lloyd - awesome to hear you will be in town! I am in Madison. Planning to run the half. What group are you pacing? We should definitely hook up! E-mail me for futher details. I'm happy to be Madison's ambassador to rootsrunner :)
I look forward to meeting you!
Hey Mindi! Your running looks great :) Your positive outlook on running and life is really contagious.
Bridget
