I wish I was back from my run, unfortunately, I am at work! No time to run when you wake up at 4:30AM! I AM contemlating what to eat, though. I getting the AM stomach rumbles from yesterday's afternoon 5 miler.

I bet the next person has a 10K race scheduled for this weekend which will involve perfect weather for the event.

Work my way up to 30 MPW
Run 5 days a week
Eat less junk
Get down to 128

Nope, no race this weekend. But still hoping for the "perfect weather" part for a long run tomorrow...that, and getting to bed at a decent hour tonight. Big grin

I'm thinking the next person just bought a new pair of sneaks that they are going to try out this weekend.

Not a Big Gas Guzzling SUV but a little gas guzzling SUV. But it's a take home vehicle so I'm not complaining too much. Wink


I bet the next person will have a perfect weekend to run!

That would be true just about every week but this one. The week isn't over, though.

Next person is minutes away from going on a run and not looking forward to 85°F sun.

False....just came back from mine (only about 74 degrees on San Diego bayfront).

I bet the next person is hoping his/her boss will leave work early so he/she can bail out early as well. Clowning around
