Re: Weekend long workout post
What was the weather like and what did you wear? Sat.-cycling shorts, arm warmers, short sleeve jersey, cycling shoes, Defeet socks. Sunday-Sleeveless jersey, cycling shorts, cycling shoes, Defeet socks, lots of sunscreen. Both days (and always)-helmet
See anything interesting? Not really. I rode a demo bike today, a Specialized Fate Carbon 29ner. I'm in Love! I'm considering getting another mtb if I can sell one of my old ones to help pay for it.
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? I went to an event for something DH is involved in. We enjoyed listening to the Celtic band. I didn't have a single drink other than Diet Coke. I'm lame.

What was the weather like and what did you wear? About 70 and soooo humid, bleh. I wore a short-sleeve shirt and shorts.
See anything interesting? A guy riding a bike with a basket, a puppy was riding in the basket. So cute! The puppy looked so happy.
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? No, totally not our scene. I wore a green shirt when I went to the grocery store but that is the extent of my holiday spirit.

See anything interesting? Nope
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? We went to a party a friend of H's threw. It was very college-party scene like. I'm not into that. I drank a soda and mingled for a few hours. We never really do anything for SPD usually. We're not big drinkers.

What was your long workout this weekend? 5mi run. It was the course I will be running next weekend as part of a relay with my brother and SIL
What was the weather like and what did you wear? 65 degrees with some humidity. I wore capris, wicking shirt and long sleeve cycle jersey. About half way through the run, I took the jersey off.
See anything interesting? It is a very hilly course in the valley I grew up in. I ran by some homes recently built that are really nice. Plus it goes past an old abandoned church that my nana has often painted. I see the church, think of her, smile and run down the hill!
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? Nothing. DH was home but we didn't celebrate. We grilled steaks, potatoes and asparagus for dinner so I guess my veggie was green!
What was your long workout this weekend?
NYC Half Marathon. Huge 9 minute PR - 2:04
What was the weather like and what did you wear?
Perfect! Mid 40s and breezy at the start
See anything interesting?
Well it's NYC so there's always something interesting to see, but my favorites were the girl who jumped rope for the entire course and - even more impressive - the guy that juggled the whole race.
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day?
Nope, just rested for the race.
What was your long workout this weekend? I did an 11 mile run yesterday, which included a 5k race (I won, hehe). My long bike ride got postponed until tomorrow because its storming here.
What was the weather like and what did you wear? Weather was nice, I wore a green tanktop.
See anything interesting? My DH raced too and pushed the jogging stroller! The race was hilly, and even though I warned him there was a really big hill, I don't think he understood how hard that was with the stroller. He was really struggling but the kids were having a blast.
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? Aside from wearing that green tank top, no.
What was the weather like and what did you wear? when we started it was 41 and sunny, finishing was 66 and sunny. A *very* light breeze. I wore a tank top and shorts, but forgot to wear my Garmin!
See anything interesting?Part of our run was on the route of the St.Patrick's Day race, so we got to run in that for about a quarter mile.
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? Other than sit around and drink wine then fall asleep on the couch at 9:30? Nope.
Yes,I'm smiling...I'm a marathoner!

It was supposed to be 14 miles, but since I was sick and missed my 12 last week, I decided to do 12 on Saturday. I ran a 12:11 pace, a bit slower than I would have liked, but I'm still recovering, so I'll take it.What was the weather like and what did you wear?Started at 9:00 and it was about 40, wore shorts, dri-fit shirt, wind breaker jacket and calf compression sleeves. Got hot really fast and took off my jacket halfway. See anything interesting?There was a 5k in the park at the time and I was running in it by accident! I tried to stay out of their way. Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? After my run and I went out into philly with a few friends, it was fun but I was tired!

Well it certainly wasn't a "long" workout but I ran 3 miles on Saturday.
It was sunny and in the 70s so I wore shorts and a short sleeve shirt.
I ran by a 1 year old's birthday party (the helium ballons with "Happy 1st Birthday" gave it away). It was more cute than interesting, but seing an entire back/side yard full of babies was super cute.
Yes, DH's friend threw a house party and we drank green beer. It was fun, but I was ready to bail and go home by 11:30. I guess I'm officially getting old.
What was your long workout this weekend? Ran 11 miles. Was going to be 12 but my running partner ran 7 yesterday and was really worn out. Last LR before HM!
What was the weather like and what did you wear? 70ish? It wasn't awful, once the sun came up the humidity decreased a bit. Nike Tempos, tank, and compression socks. I sort of got addicted to compression socks during my long run which I'm not happy about but don't want to mess with anything until after the HM. Which means I'll sport the compression socks during the half. Ugh.
See anything interesting? Finally I can say yes! We live rurally and for about a mile we were chasing 8 cattle. Someone's cows left their yard and were running around. It was funny.
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? Nope!
What was your long workout this weekend? 10 mile long run yesterday
What was the weather like and what did you wear? I started at 7am, when it was still a little cool. So I wore shorts, a short sleeved shirt, and knee high argyle St. Patrick's day socks
See anything interesting? Not really...while it was a new route for my group, it was in the suburb that I went to HS in and right by my parents house so it was nothing new for me
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? Dinner and drinks with some friends but that's about it.
What was your long workout this weekend? - RnR USA Half Marathon
What was the weather like and what did you wear? - absolutely perfect, sunny and breezy. I wore shorts, tank, visor and arm warmers (that I eventually took off)
See anything interesting? - yes, lots of stuff! Bands, people's crazy St. Patty's day costumes, fun signs, the monuments in DC
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? - just ran!
What was your long workout this weekend? 16 mile run
What was the weather like and what did you wear? sunny and warm. I started off in shorts & a 1/4 zip and quickly removed that and ran in shorts and a s/s top.
See anything interesting? snakes! we ran in a new part and there were snakes all over the place.
Did you do anything for St. Patrick's Day? I had a productive day but nothing st. patrick's day related.
