Slogged through six miles this morning. I was tired and slow. Hoping to go 10 this afternoon after meetings. Only managed another 8 miles this evening due to my business schedule. I did six of them on the treadmill at the hotel. Felt great except it was exceedingly warm in the fitness room. So warm that I had something happen to me that has never happened while running. By mile 6 my feet were sweating so badly that I was actually sloshing in my shoes. My shoes would have been no wetter if I had  jumped in a swimming pool and then gone for a run. It made me think that maybe it is a good way to train for warm marathons like TCM. Train warm and force fluids down you constantly to help yor body adjust.

Wow, small world! I know you! As a female I have to try for some internet anonymity (what a world), but we have corresponded by email before. Once I wrote to you about the off leash dogs and another time with feedback about your terrific Railroad Days race.

I found this site while searching for training tips. So happy to see a familiar runner here! Cheers!

Ahhh...I haven't seen any movement on that issue. Now that you brought the issue to my mind, i do see a lot of loose dogs around.

The club that met at Stellar Park seems to have moved down to the legitimate dog park at "Three Forks," I think it's called. One of my friends said she watched the cops give them the "leash, leave, or citation" ultimatum a couple of weeks ago. A small victory. :)

gosh...I'm glad I'm not alone. I planned to do a 10-mile run at a fitness center treadmill in Florida (2 weeks ago). By mile 9 I was sloshing and quit out of pure self-consciousness. It was an indoor first for me as well. Great work-out by the way!
