That salt lick photo made me laugh - after a long, sweaty, hot run, I head straight to the kitchen for a glass of water and the salt shaker. Lick of salt. Sip of water. It's like tequila shooters, without the booze. ;)

You're so close to taper land now! What's motivating me right now is the dress I'm planning to wear next week - I even did a core workout this morning!

You are kicking it with that run!!

Chaffed armpits??? For the 1st time ever I got chaffed yesterday on the inner upper thighs. OMG! I need to check out that Body Glide stuff!

I have vowed to NEVER run again when it's dark or close to dark-almost stepped on a copperhead yesterday. It had taken up residence on the edge of our driveway. Do you know how many snakes I "thought" I saw this morning when I ran??????????????

Almost there, AWESOME!!! Your pacing is fantastic!! It's been wicked hot out here, too - love the cows with the salt lick - felt just like that after this evening's run!
Thank heaven for Body Glide - I ran halves for over a year before wising up to it!

Ok first time to you site so hi! Gotta say you make me feel lazy...kids are taken care of and you are up early for 23 miles, I am impressed. I struggle hard with the morning workouts and my goal this weekend is to plan out my workout schedule to include some morning routines. Thanks for the motivation!

2012-06-05T10:11:33.937-06:00

It seems like just last week that you were running in the snow and mud and now it's so hot there! Man, you are a bad weather running machine!

2012-06-05T07:29:25.244-06:00

Only one more long run??? How did that time go by so quickly?? You are so ready to rock your marathon!! I'm so excited for you! I'm not a fan of running in the heat either! I love your analogy to a salt lick...that's just how I feel!

2012-06-04T23:23:03.905-06:00

You are so ready for your marathon! And awesome for getting up that early. At first I thought you said that "it was nice to sleep in" and I thought you were crazy and that maybe you got up earlier normally, but then I realized you said that it WOULD HAVE been nice. Oops!

Christy, what a phenomenal long run!! Speedy, yet SMART pace. You are going to absolutely rock your marathon, I am confident of it!

And yeah I totally think that 60 degrees is 'warm'....I am a cold weather runner for sure.

Chafed armpits do NOT sound fun. Take care.

2012-06-04T16:22:22.818-06:00

I had lots of trouble getting out of bed this morning after a crappy night, too. In the end, I left my house about 45 minutes later than I wanted to, but what finally got me out the door was knowing how much more pleasant my day would be if I got it done NOW. (Fortunately my bike session wasn't as long as yours.) :^)

2012-06-04T13:32:47.904-06:00

Nice run! And remember: If you start chaffing in other places, I could send you some Hoo Ha Ride Glide! LOL :) Feel better! (Armpit chaffing SUCKS!)
