moneypitmike Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 This weather is completely fine by me I'm with you on that, Jay. I'd like it to dry a day so I can mow the lawn. But outside of the heavier showers, I can still cut/split for next winter. I think you'll be praying for weather like this come practice time in MD!! When do you check in for that? Nice light show/thunder last night around 10:00 or so 51.2/50 3.10" so far from this round of summer. I wonder what the temp departure has been so far for these first 5 days of solar summer......

Damage In Tolland Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 On a pesonal note after the fun I had doing the half marathon I've decided to run the full Hartford ING Marathon (26,2)in October. I'm on an 18 week training program which gradulally ramps up the weekly mileage to between 40-50 miles. This week I've done 23 miles. I've been running about a year and a half now and am in th best shape of my life by far,. Gon from 180 to about 165 lbs. Is there anyone that wants to train and run it with me in October? It's not too late to start now. It's not until Oct 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bump skiing is enough abuse for those joints. I prefer mountain biking now as it offers a bit of an adrenaline kick as well as maintaining leg strength/cardio. Have fun. Wiz will run with you but he'll want to hold hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too late to start now. It's not until Oct 15th. Back in the day, I'd be all over that. These days I'll be happy to do a 10k. By family tradition, I will likely have to run the Kelly Race in New London in August. It's the worst race. It's a non-standard distance (11.6), course, nothing appealing about the course, small crowd, few water stops. Why am I running that again? Oh, yeah, family tradition. It would be great if you'd get up for the Bridge of Flowers 10k on Aug 13. It's been part of the USATF Grand prix series in two of the last three years.

ski MRG Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Looks like more showers incoming. While this weather is fine by me I do feel bad for my wife. She waits patiently all year for summer, her favorite season. So far it has been a bitter disappointment. On the plus side I showed her that tghe forecast for Willow,Ak was better this week than the weather here has been. I'm trying to trick her into moving there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider "back in the day" refers to 27 years ago, I think I am qualified to use it. Those were my peak running days. Best race was the New Haven 20k when I finished in 64 minutes. I was running about 10-17 miles a day back then. Have never even seen a glimpse of that type of time in the past 20 years. Instead, I now enjoy Entenman's crumb donuts. Chewing is great exercise.

Hopefully this is it until fall I would.... just to say I did it, but I need heavy heavy training. Maybe next year..lol. I've hit the weights pretty hard over the last few months, but have to do more cardio. I do run and bike a little...but I need to do more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Just finish 4 miles of hills, first time since December because of knee problems. I think anything more than 6 miles you're causing slow but perm damage to your knees, joints, back etc. Unless your technique is perfect and you're in peak phys condition. Good luck with marathoning, that is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Very thin marine layer right now, should be a fantastic day, okx going partly sunny 78, half day of work then its beach time, hope you guys up north clear out too! That was a brutal 3 day stretch, but now we are heading for a wonderful 7 day stretch, the great outways the bad, the land is satiated with liquid gold, now its time for bikinis, brauts and beers, the way summer should be.

Heat wave on the way? No mention of sun here until tomorrow (call is for mostly cloudy). But, the forecasted low 70's for today will be the first time above 60 since 8:00 on Wednesday. First week of summer, fail. Meanwhile, we've lost 28 seconds of solar energy and a corresponding lowering sun angle. Fall's on the way. 51.2/50. Been stuck here since 5:00 at least.

There is no mention of sun for tomorrow, although I guess the 'mostly cloudy' could be viewed, by the most optimistic, as allowing for the possibility of a peek of sun. I wouldn't hold my breath. Cool and drizzly out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
