Good morning, Eden!
'lliptical
with Brian. A new record around the lake for me if you don't count pacing some people. 44:05
As recently as a few weeks ago, Judson wouldn't have dreamed that that pace was within his reach. But I gave him a few visualization exercises and he's proved to be an adept student.
I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that, with work and dedication, a 45 minute circuit is still well within his range.
Judson, 44 min around the lake? Did you mean THIRTY four minutes?
Yup, that's 44 minutes 5 seconds. Slowest I've run around the lake all summer, a record. Just taking my easy day easy. Brian actually had a few steps on me.
I've run around the lake in 30:17 when I've tried to go fast. That was a few years ago and I'd say sub 30 would probably be pretty easy if I tried right now. But no need for time trials with all these fine races coming up and course records to break.
congratulations on your new record :D
...with my mini training partner. On Kings Lane we saw John S., his cute puppydog AND a deer that let DeLaney and I get very close.
Congrats on that new record, Judson. It's amazing what visualization can do. hehe! :)
Yes. Friendly, yes. Well behaved, not so much. I did see the deer wandering off into the woods but fortunately the dog's attention was elsewhere. She absolutely freaks out when we see a deer. "Must Chase Deer" seems to be programmed into her genetics. She's part border collie:)
With some awesome company, Shannon, Adria, Zoe, Becky & Bob C. We had the bonus of getting to also see Vanessa, Amy N & Sara. Life is good in the woods.
along the riva' & some vanity liftin' afta".
Keep running!
track meet last weekend in Europe.
Thomas took 9 seconds off his pr for 5-k running 13:27 and Louis Luchini ran 13:29 just a handful of seconds off his alltime pr.

with RK around Bangor. 77:44. He says that's 'a new record' for him, much in the same fashion as Judson. Ding-dong!
Fair effort.
An easy 4.5 on seawall with a Suzanne and DeLaney sighting. Followed up with a quick 15 on the bike.
And when I got home my new fork was waiting for me on the porch:) Next stop, bicycle Bob in SWH for the installation and I'm ready to race.
How fun. I am sure your bike will be thrilled!
Does your bike have a name? My bike's name is Chatter. She's my alter ego... doesn't like to get up early, would rather spend lunch eating cheeseburgers than training, etc. And she doesn't like it when I start taping gels to the top tube, apparently that tickles.
That's funny and would actually be a good name for my bike. The disk brakes "chatter" when I reach a certain speed, some weird resonance with the wind in the rotors around calipers.
I have not named the bike, just lovingly refer to her as "my bike". A mid range TREK hardtail mountain bike that I absolutely love to ride. She climbs like a dream on the trails! I blew out the seals in the original fork last fall and have been riding it as a rigid with the fork locked out this year. Now we will get to ride with a plush front end for those times you need a little plushness in your ride:)
4 of those at a pace that felt much faster than it was. Welcome to the mortal world, Judson!
Craig and I walked 4 miles along Eagle Lake (and 3 yesterday that we didn't post about). Saw Frank both mornings and finished the walks with him. Lots of great conversation.
tried to break the Eagle Lake record this afternoon. He wanted to go sub 30:00 but stalled out on the final hill. Said he's trading in his Honda for a Harley first thing tomorrow morning.
and she said "boy do you run fast" as I went by, but I still didn't run faster than Judson's all-time slow jog. I was content with my 44:40 for 6 miles though (EL plus a bit), especially since I started at what is usually my dinnertime, a little before 7:00.
in the morning at EL and a nice walk for a bit with Craig and Joanne as they were coming back in.
the afternoon version, walking* from Eagle Lake and out past Bubble. I saw Kate Goupee out running with a group of high schoolers, I think CeCelia was one of them?
*for at least two thirds of it
That was her! :)
