Well, I met the B-Buttkickers at Parkway Palisades at 5:30. We warmed up for 2 1/2 then went to P. Palisades Dr. and did 1 mile hill repeats with active recovery in between. We did 4 of these and then did 1 minute sprints up the hill at the end and recovered for about a half mile at the end. I forgot my Garmin this morning so I went off Julie's and she had that we did 8:32 average with recovery and all. I feel great and it was a great work-out. I was a little nervous to do hills this morning cuz my lower back and left leg were bugging me a bit last night. I called my neighbor (chiropractor) and he fixed me up and then I iced it good after and woke up feeling good. My left calf was still a little tight the first mile or so but loosened up and felt better. Thanks BB's for another great run. Can't wait for Saturday!!!

Hey thanks, but I feel like a turtle watching you and Peggy up front. You are a guy so it is expected but Peggy is a woman and she amazes me. Maybe I can be as good as you guys when I grow up.Ha, Ha!

Whatever you looked fabulous. And dont let the whole gender thing scare you. Just chick me and show me whats up. It might hurt me but itll make me stronger! Peggy is a great runner, she's been going at it a while so grow up and get some speed. lol you are funny

I think the day I beat you is the day I am running down hill after you just ran 40 maybe 50 miles.

From Jody on Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 11:36:52

You did awesome! It was such a tough run and if you felt like a turtle then I was a snail.....See you Saturday.

Jody and I snailed along together...but we finished, we never walked (when we were not supposed to), and we didn't puke. So it was great!

You are fabulous and FAST! We can not compare ourselves to Peggy and Walter, that is just not fair! There were times I could not even see them this morning! And, you ran 20 miles 3 days ago and still kicked everyone elses butts this morning! You are TRULY GREAT! And, you have 5 kids!! That is WORK---I KNOW!

Have a great day.

It's fun to see you again, Michelle. You looked great this morning!

From Michelle N. on Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 14:14:12

Thanks for the great work-out Peggy. You are awesome. That is the only word I can think of.

You did great and it was nice to get out and meet some new runners.

From walter on Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 17:16:45

Michelle my friend you have to think positively. I think your about my age anyway so now thats pressure! I know running a few marathons has helped me with my attitude. I used to wonder how people kept running after 18 miles in a marathon. Believe it or not my goal after the first few marathons was to not stop! Its only been a few years since Ive been doing these insane distances. You will be better and better as you push yourself. Keep doing Peggy's workouts and when you tap me on the shoulder, Ill say go around Michelle, youve earned it!
