I know I have talked into a fan, "Luke I am your father"! My wife posted a cartoon on Facebook - it was a pic of a big old school floor fan and a rock n' roll dude. The fan says, " I'm a huge metal fan" and the rocker dude says "Me too!"

lol, Gustav.  Yeah, cork pulls and wine curls, always a good exercise.  Do several sets!

Damaris, you are going to do a very sleepy six?  Good luck with that!

Congrats on getting your miles in, Robert.  OK, not my cup of tea, that music gave me a headache. 

So, Dave, after all these 8-milers, just what IS your long run distance?  8.1?    What's the Daily Mile?

OK, Brenda, what is "Fat Friday" at work?  Everyone brings in lots of treats and sweets to share?

Enjoy your rest day, Kara!  Congrats on your miles last night.

Every little bit helps, Bill, congrats on the weekly mileage increase.

Way to go on the 30-mile week, Zelanie! 

Good luck with the 7 tomorrow, Jack?  Did the Hulk Hogan beard make you want to wrestle with your face?

OK, Bin, this is your fault if it gets into everyone's head today:  "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family..."    Yay for new shoes!  I ordered a pair for me today, they should be here today.  My trusty ASICS Nimbus. Nice photo there, nice antlers, lol.

So sorry about the headache ERLH, hope it has resolved by now.  Good luck with your miles!

Jerry, our sun hasn't gone away, lol.  When I ran after work yesterday, it was 77 degrees! We are supposed to get a "cold" front this coming Tuesday (31 degrees for the low) and Wednesday (34 degrees for the low) but on Thursday we are back up in the 60s.  Winter is not so bad in San Antonio.

Enjoy the swim and the run/walk, HsM (sorry, you will always be HsM to me).  Hey, if you don't want to sit around with a bag of ice on your knee, get some biofreeze.  Works just as well, you just rub it on and then go back to doing whatever you are doing.  The effects of the biofreeze will last about 5 - 6 hours.  Ice in a tube, how convenient!  It's sold at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, etc.

Well, at least you got some miles in, Jerry.  Hope your miles today went well!   As for your folks and your very younger sister, here is what I'm wondering:  did they try and file a claim at their insurance office?  Insurance agent: "So, sir, you are filing this claim to be reimbursed for the conception and resulting birth because...?"  JBlack's Dad:  "Well, it did originate in the back seat of the car and it WAS an accident..."  

Congrats on the 6, Tomas.  Hey, good luck to your team tonite!  Skynard...now that's music I can listen to, yeah!  I am definitely an oldies and classic rock n roll guy, lol.  Don't really like any other stuff.   If the music is after the 80s, don't bother me with it.

Congrats on your miles, ilene!  What a great and inspiring photo!  I run at Fort Sam Houston a lot, so I see quite a few Wounded Warriors out on the track doing their thing, as Brooke Army Medical Center is one of the major treatment centers in the US for the military.  They are awesome to watch, they really do give it their all.  There is this one guy I run with on occasion, who is a double amputee, and he is STILL way faster than me.  He is always joking with me about it, saying things like "Scotty, you want to borrow one of my legs to keep up?" and so forth.   Great guy,  great positive attitude about everything, and very inspiring.

Oh, I am also getting off early today, yay!  I get to leave work in another 20 minutes, 11 a.m. Texas time.  Eat your hearts out. 

Good morning Gustav.   I ran 5.6 miles last night.  

 

I have a copy of that picture on my desk at work.

Nice job on the miles.

Top o' the irish coffee to you, penguins! Anyone racing? Not me. Running today though since the hub is home.  Ran 7 at the Y last night.

 

Gustav- cork pulls and wine glass curls, that is my kind of workout! Also, nice work on the punnage.

 

Demaris- going big catches up. get some miles and some sleep, girl!

 

Robert- its pretty nice out today! still trying to decide if i want to do the 8k in a week on Hutchison Island. Nice jam. I think I was in college when that came out because visions of rowdiness are dancing in my head.

 

Dave- i'll track you down on daily mile today. its where the cool kids hang.

 

Brenda- enjoy that rest!

I was seriously considering that race until I figured out that is my weekend to work....

Zel/Jerry, thanks for adding me!

Kara, found you first and sent you a request.

Jack/ELRH/Scotty, my longest so far is 20 miles, once.  Tomorrow I'm doing 20 again, might do a lil more depending on how I feel.  I felt great at the end of my last/first 20 miler, but didn't want to push it too far, since it was already 3.6 miles longer than I had previously run (I'm trying to show some sort of restraint lol). 

I know it's more mileage than I need for my upcoming half, but there's this voice in my head that keeps telling me I can do more, and I keep listening. 

Scotty, Daily Mile is pretty much facebook for runners, your workouts are posted like facebook status updates and people can comment on them.  I've gotta be careful tho, I already post here, still on RWOL a lil bit, two facebook groups and now DM, might get to be a bit much.

5.6 mile recovery run @ 10:00 w/dw.  Feeling great.  Looks like some cold weather running coming soon.  Hope we don't have to go inside.

Got in a good 3 miles last night.  I was going to do a couple easy miles tonight, but I've had a terrible headache all day and feel super tired.  Depending on how I feel when I get home, I may just go to bed early.  I need to get some rest for my half on Sunday!

Sorry about the headache, I can completely understand how you are feeling, thats no fun at all. I hope its not a real serious one! Get home and get you some sleep, you will likely not get much Saturday night if you suffer from pre race jitters . Make sure to get back with us with a RR after your race!
