LOL, great scripture, I was thinking about the fickle running gods this morning. Good thing running isn't a religion!

From DLTheo on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 10:36:16 from 155.130.107.20

That's how a lot of my runs have looked lately, except not quite as fast the first couple miles.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 12:06:08 from 155.219.241.10

I agree with flat, very fickle, those running gods. Still a great pace though.

From I Just Run on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 12:44:40 from 67.79.11.242

Based on my last few runs I thought "No problem, 7 miles @ 7:00 pace!".... WRONG, after almost getting bitten by the pit bull at mile 3 I lost my drive.

From DLTheo on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 12:45:06 from 155.130.107.42

So have you ever been to Groom, Texas?

From I Just Run on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 12:51:17 from 67.79.11.242

Groom Texas is only 499 miles from where I live...and I live right in the middle of Texas :-) Uh, no :-)

From Rye on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 20:38:59 from 65.129.87.175

Don't get flat started on the dog thing. IJR you need to run with a dog whisperer.

From Dave S on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 09:04:22 from 63.248.248.225

One thing I've noticed as I have gotten older, it takes me 2 or 3 easy days to recover from a harder run. Even just a couple of years ago I usually only needed one day to get feeling fresh enough for another good run. That was a pretty nice run you did on Monday [especially considering that you've just started running again]. I'll bet you still had some fatigue left over from that. It was still a pretty good pace you ran today.

From I Just Run on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 09:43:08 from 67.79.11.242

DL, If you want to go to Groom, I'll meet you there :-)

Rye, I probably did a dumb thing and kicked at the dog, then chased it to the fence where it had escaped. I proceeded to kick the dog but it just make him angry and he started to growel at me. I really don't want to run by his house again!

Dave, I think you're right, I seem to feel more sore two days after a hard run than the day after.

From flatlander on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 09:48:11 from 198.207.244.102

I got chased by a pit bull only once, managed to lure him onto a busy street, which changed his tactics quickly. Didn't even have to whisper.

From I Just Run on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 09:49:32 from 67.79.11.242

I was screaming at that stupid dog, I'm supprised I didn't wake the owners.

From DLTheo on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 10:19:51 from 155.130.107.42

IJR, that muscle soreness you're describing is actually something a bit different than what Dave mentioned. DOMS, or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is the name for the typical soreness people feel after they use muscles they haven't used in a while. DOMS usually begins around 8 hours after the muscle stress and peaks about 48 hours afterwards, but quickly goes away after that (usually). This can happen after a tough workout, too; even if you're in good shape.

The extra days of recovery needed between hard workouts, which I also experience, often has no soreness associated with it. There is usually just a lack of responsiveness on the part of the body, maybe some general fatigue or lethargy, but usually no pain. I find that my running pace will slow by 30-45 seconds/mile or more after a hard workout and it takes a couple days of easier running to get back to normal. During hard marathon training I never get all the way back to normal unless I take an easier week to recover more.

From DLTheo on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 10:31:17 from 155.130.107.42

Is "dog whisperer" another name for a golf club or heavy stick?

I was asking about Groom because I heard about a park with a bunch of sculptures depicting Christ on the cross that is there and wondered if you'd seen or heard of it.

From I Just Run on Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 12:17:38 from 67.79.11.242

DL, I looked it up on the internet. It looks interesting. I will definitely go by there if I travel in that area in the future.
