Mid Week Workouts

The workouts for today and tomorrow are posted in the Chuckit Community. I also created groups for the Eugene half and Full Marathons.

Is anyone else having trouble with the site today took me about 15 min to get into the darn thing, seems to be working now but there seems to be issues.

 As far as race results go for this past weekend. We had Larry head on out to DC for the Marine Corps Marathon, Larry how did it go I can't find you in the results.

Anand and Tom headed down to Portland for the Run like Hell half, Anand got a PR in 1:42 and the results are posted yet so I don't know how Tom did.

As we get into the colder weather I think it's a good idea to wear something on your legs especially for those that are doing the faster workouts. I think it will help prevent any muscle pulls by keeping your legs loose which will help your workout. There are many options from tights to looser fitting pants that will do the job. Personally I like something in between. Wind pants are fine but when they get wet they tend to stick to your legs if there isn't a lining and if there is a lining they tend to be too warm.

Tights are better when it's wet as they are tighter hence the name tights, they don't seem to load up with water as much as looser fitting pants so they seem lights. Loose fitting pants are great when it's cold as they keep the warm air around your legs that is trapped in. Like I said though if I can find something in between then I'm golden.
