Merry Christmas! DW and I got in a 5 miler this morning, and we'll go skiing while the turkey cooks!

Good morning, I am moving kind of slowly this morning. All of our kids were home yesterday and I think my wine consumption was a bit too high. The grandkids ages 10, 6 and 2 are still here along with their parents and another son and his wife. I didn't (couldn't) get a run in this morning, but I did get 5 miles in yesterday before all the festivities began. Mary- I am sorry to hear you are sick. I was hoping for 1000 miles for the year too, but my bad cough set me back and I have 40 to go. I will get in 15 more at the most, so I guess I will have the same goal for next year. Have a great day. Jackie

I originally suggested more of a weekly thread but perhaps daily is better? What does everyone else think? I like the idea of a weekly thread. It is often easier for me to post later in the day, and then it gets kind of lost. Jackie

My thought on a weekly thread is that it would be easierr for everyone to keep track and catch up if you miss a day or two and as Jackie mentioned, it will make it easier if you post later in the day. Troy I hope you feel better. I got in 6.78 miles out here in the W. MD mountains. Felt pretty good, I kept it slow as I tried to maintain my HR under the aerobic threshold. So far for this year I'm at 1674.47 miles running, 1072.69 riding and 46.53 swiming, but who is keeping track We are off to hit the slopes a bit later.

Hi everyone! I got out for a 5 miler yesterday afternoon with my new Garmin heartrate monitor. Took forever to lock on to the satellites the first time - but finally I was out and running. The doctor said it is okay to run, so when I feel up to it that is what I'll do until I shake this thing. The run went well - except for the dead deer that about gave me a heart attack! It was not on the road side of the bike path - but on the other side with its head almost laying on the path - staring at me it seemed. I din't notice it until I was right next to it - geech! Mile 1 - 10:31 - 156 bpm Mile 2 - 10:15 - 169 bpm Mile 3 - 10:06 - 172 bpm Mile 4 - 10:33 - 173 bpm Mile 5 - 10:24 - 174 bpm Average pace - 10:22 Average bpm - 169 Now I have to get on the phone with Garmin. Tried updated the software and it erased the GPS software and won't let me upload the new . . . . Great!! Nice 10 Miler Kevin!! I don't care if this is daily or weekly - I'll check in either way. ~mary

Morning! I usually run during lunch, but today I ran a slow 4 miler before work w/a friend. It was nice to run in the morning again. I love how peaceful it is. Have a great weekend!!!

All is good Troy. I went into work and the downloads worked fine. With dial up at home - things just take too long I guess. I feel better about it now. Only 5 more miles to hit my 1,000 for the year and a huge PR!! Hopefully tomorrow - right now we are getting dumped on and are under a Winter Storm Warning. ~Mary
