I wish so badly you had taken a picture of your face right next to the cows face in the window!!! HEElarious!!<br />Okay...I had to read twice to see if I was reading incorrectly...6:40 mile? at 10yrs old? seriously? you might perhaps have a running prodigy on your hands my lady. Very exciting! I want to meet this girl! I secretly hope that my love of running will rub off on one of my girls and they will love it as much as i do:)<br />I can't believe you have a marathon in 4.5wks...wow. it seems like you JUST ran yours...time is going by so fast. can't wait to hear about that! and hey...that tempo run was awesome!!! great job!Nicole W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16049377843753781161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-53995974142811060002011-09-03T16:23:23.186-05:002011-09-03T16:23:23.186-05:00So I could just picture this whole cow situation, ...So I could just picture this whole cow situation, and it sounds like a scene out of a comedy flick. That is too funny!<br /><br />Holy tempo lady, way to crank out some speedy miles after your time nursing the glute. I hate setbacks and recovery, it totally messes with my mind and I too think I lose fitness when in reality I don't always know that this is true. Oh the silly tricks that our mind plays on us. You are a fiercely strong woman and you will recover, when you feel mentally defeated just know that I think that you are AWESOME and that I have much adoration for you!Britt @ Chicago Runner Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628838959053342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-15957703012874633812011-09-03T01:10:49.029-05:002011-09-03T01:10:49.029-05:00Hi Jenn,

I LOVED volleyball in middle and high school (college - not so much) Good Luck to Reese - run like ya Mama!<br /><br />Yes, a trip sounds perfect. I say go for that, for the birthday celebration! <br /><br />I KNOW EXACTLY what you mean when you say "I needed a good run" sometimes you just have to do it.

Perfect distraction for the patients. :)<br />I would be requesting a blanket in there too.<br /><br />That speed day just ROCKED. I hope you are floating around on a little cloud after that one. No lectures here about IBU...We know ourselves best and I am sure you know when to stop taking it & when to use it. <br /><br />Max is just RAD. That's all I can say. And Reese is going to be one FAST girl! I know where she gets it :)<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-50068823189264626112011-09-02T14:59:00.084-05:002011-09-02T14:59:00.084-05:00Reese - wow!

Awesome!<br /><br />I've said it before, and will say it again! You coped SO WELL with your injury, and I think you are tougher mentally for it! Laughing at Amanda's comment...see why I don't post my training log on line?<br /><br />You know how I feel about injuries. If there is not a SF, all lights are green. I would do exactly what you are doing right now. Running comes with risks and you can stop for every pain. I felt pain in every bone of my legs on Wed and Thursday after that HM/10K long tempo. I ran through it all yesterday and am fine today. This might come bite me, but so what, I am doing what I think I should do.<br /><br />Take that vacay with Joe, yes, absolutely!<br /><br />Will finish that email today:)Ana-Maria RunTriLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277465990759801560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-80981484124015508042011-09-02T13:00:21.039-05:002011-09-02T13:00:21.039-05:00Welcome back to blog world!

This is sort of why I don't get too too close to people, I always feel like I get hurt...better to just sit on the couch, watch Lifetime tv, eat nachos and drink margaritas!! :)<br /><br />Ok, now on to the post...<br /><br />I seriously am going to get a job as a dental assistant; the stories you share make me green with envy. My job and was never fun. Ever. I told kids all day, "Pant waistbands do not belong at your knees, pull them up ... and stop making out in the hallways!" Having grown up in Iowa and my grandma owning a creamery, I have a very strong affection for cows, I'd probably have had to take that one home and put a little fan in his pen!!<br /><br />Congrats to Max at his tournament, that is awesome. I love how he loves to replay that special moment...my boys do that a lot!!<br /><br />Very cool about Reese, too...she gets that speediness from her momma for sure and I know you are going to have a blast at her cross country meets...I suspect you won't be able to speak for a few days after, you'll have screamed your lungs out!!<br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend with the party planning for Joe :) and your awesome runs!! Think about slow me plodding through 14 miles at a pathetic 10:30 pace ... and think of a race we can do together next year, in the spring hopefully, when your kiddos aren't overbooked with hockey, ok!?!? That'll give you something to think about for 20 miles :).<br /><br />xoJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635823026230026813.post-51687963880438697572011-09-02T10:19:52.523-05:002011-09-02T10:19:52.523-05:00HAAA!!

Girl, I had to laugh on the "ibuprofen sober"...i've been masking some pain for sanity's sake (tendonitis in my ankle) and I've yet to go ibuprofen sober. some days, you just have to do whatever it takes. I think i'm starting to pay for it though, and I've got to pull the plug and actually start resting....after my half on sunday. ;) What a confidence building tempo run! Hang in there. By the way, your daughter running a 6:40 mile on gravel? Like mother like daughter.

That sounds totally HILARIOUS!<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear of your glute woes. I hope things just keep getting better and better. I did a little of that ibu magic at Hood to Coast. I never ever do it. It made a massive difference. I was surprised :P<br /><br />Your kids are just incredible... as incredible as their mama! And I hate it when people start saying ANYthing in their 30's is old and worthy of a senior sweater. Dude...

Dang! Inspiring though. I'm not going to lecture you...I think I might have already given as close to an Amanda Lecture as they come with my "What does AM think about this?" ha haha....totally just passed it to her because if wise ol' AM is supportive of you and your Ibuprofen/pushing through the PITA situation then it MUST be legit...too legit to quit! ha! You do know that when I say too legit to quit that I'm quoting some words to a song from probably the 80's by MC hammer or something and not just saying that you are too legit to quit but you are. run. ON. Sentence!!! :) <br />6:40 mile as a trial and 10 years old!! Gosh, that girl is amazing!! And Max...I can just see him with his BIG proud smile! :) So cool. <br />Again, great 10k here. So great. 4 1/2 weeks...praying that that PITA stays at shore and lets you run away!<br />Thanks for the shout out. I think it will be a fun contest if people take the time to be creative. I added another option. <br />Oh, and the COW! Almost forgot (I'm doing all of this comment from memory and not looking back so I'm going from the most recent in my memory)...what a different world! Seriously just when I feel so close to you like you're just my neighbor on the phone, you throw something like this out there and I realize just how far away we live. ha ha! A cow?! too funny! I suppose that might happen in Oregon too but just not near any dental offices near me. Love it!! Love your writing voice as always. Makes me laugh.Amanda@runninghoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389034066639666578noreply@blogger.com
