Just getting us started. New week people! Make it a good one! Rest day for me ETA: Trey, you almost caught the bunny. Think I dropped of the page again.

My treadmill survived and so I had a good week. I'm hoping to continue and have another good week. I'd even like to do a long run this weekend *gasp* OUTSIDE *gasp*. Fingers crossed.

Did endurance UB first, incl. abs. then hopped on the TM for a run, which wasn't going well at first. R-calf was tightening up and I had to stop every 2 minutes or so to stretch it. Mentally I wasn't doing well either. I wanted to stop but.... that bunny is running every day and I don't want to get too far behind. So I waddled on, struggling all the way. The music I ran on wasn't helping me any either. Suddenly I heard the Kwai March playing, my feet got in sync with the beat and I caught myself smiling. I turned up the volume and ran. I played that song twice. Wanted to stop but.... what's that...Aquarius? Like that one too, and ofcourse I'm not Singing in the Rain but on the TM. I'm almost at 7K so I can stop now. Ehh, not with Indiana Jones running at my tail. I had this visual of the big ball rolling behind me. By now I was running at 10k/h to stay with the beat. Then Darth Vader came along too: Star Wars. Volume went really up now. I finished at 7.75K cause I don't like the last song Call Me very much. Incredible how much difference a song makes Trey: no injuries for any of us this year! Jill: you don't run outside cause of the weather? Anne: no snow here. Just slippery ice. But temp's going up so hopefully the ice will be gone soon.

31 Degrees this morning in the Upstate of South Carolina - Going to be a really cold week Steve

Awesome - a homeboy. Yeah - saw our forecast this morning for the rest of the week. Geez. At least it shouldn't rain. You doing Run Downtown in a couple weeks? Hope to get in 5 or 6 after work. Trey

6 miles roller coaster route. ITBS didn't bother me at all. Left leg feeling shin splinty though, not too bad but crappy none-the-less. Perfesser - how's the Phoenix trip looking? AEB - welcome to the board, great hearing from you (I guess I'm the self appointed welcome wagon today). Anyway, yeah you're gonna get pounded with snow...according to the weather channel.

Ran intervals really for the first time today. Ran 8x400, felt great. Going to be a short week for me, going up to SF for the weekend, don't think I'll get a chance to run up there. Also, I have the book The Extra Mile by Pam Reed. http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Mile-Personal-Ultra-Running-Greatness/dp/1594864152 Read it sometime last year, it was an okay book. Was going to donate it to the library. Figured I would give you all first dibs on it. Anyone want it? I'll even pay shipping, just say the word. Modified to link the URL.

I'm with you Heffa - I am totally ready for longer days. Knocked out a faster than normal 3.8 miles around the neighborhood. Wind was kicking up a little so I did the head wind part first. MTA: Aaron - you should try to run the Golden Gate Bridge. Wish I were going with you. Awesome city.

Took the car to the shop for the annual check and ran home with Spooky, making a detour, cause the plan called for a 10K. My butt was killing me, and my legs were really really tired. Guess doing a LB w/o I hadn't done in at least a year and my first self defense class in 5 months was a bit much yeasterday. I took several walk breaks. I needed them! And manaed 9.5K running slower than a sedated snail. I didn't bother running the last 500 meters. I was just glad I made it. R-foot is still OK.
