I always worry when someone who regularly visits a site/forum stop posting because you really have no way of knowing why or if anything happened. This is such sad news. I remember when I first joined the penguins suzie was like the dedicate forum started and was always upbeat, cheerful, and friendly and was very passionate about her writing. May she rest in peace.

 

What kind of transplant did she have?

She had a heart transplant a bunch of years back.  Back when we used to have signatures on RWOL, hers said something about wanting to be the oldest living heart-transplant survivor.  I can't remember what year she needed to make it to, but sadly, it won't happen now.  May she rest in peace. 

So sorry to hear of her passing.  Suzie welcomed me into the Penguins way back in 2010.  She was an inspiration to me.  She was the queen of the personals and always had an encouraging word.

bummer about our Penguin family member.

I got 3.6 recover miles in today after my 16 miler yesterday. I had to break out some old running shoes, as my most recent ones are having issues. I have litterally run part of the rubber off the bottom of my brooks beasts. The double whammy in the situation is that i have big fat flat feet (14EE) and the shoes that I like are hard to find, since a newer model is coming out. I had ordered a pair the other day (only 1 place had them online), they were supposed to be a Christmas present, but I guess Santa will have to understand that daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

I am sooo sorry to hear about Suzie.  She was a real sweetie, such a very nice person.  She will be missed.

Right there with you, Gustav, on the stationary bike and TM being so boring. I really have to be outside for my running and biking.  Dang, you sure do a lot of full body workouts, you must be in some shape by now!

Hope you get your running back on track, Jimmy, and good luck with losing the pounds.

Happy recovery miles from your HM, Bin.

Dang, Dave..8 miles...10 miles...etc.  I'm curious..what is the least mile distance you will run when you get out there for a run? 

Enjoy the RD, Kristi!  Yes, Suzie was a real gem.  She will be missed.  I read on the RW forum that she passed in the first week of November, like the 5th or 6th, somewhere around there.   Being in Australia, I guess not many of us were in touch with her a lot - maybe her Facebook friends knew sooner - so we didn't get the word for a while.  So sad to hear about this, she was really trying hard to be healthy and make that heart transplant work for her.

Hope you get your long run in, Jerry!  Glad you can still run outside.

Dang, Awood, sounds like you might need a little bit of a rest, all that mileage you are doing!  Good luck with the holiday lights!

Happy miles, Margo.  What is considered 'unseasonably warm" where you are?  Yesterday it got to 80 degrees for us.  That is actually just a bit over normal for us, we are normally in the high 60s, low 70s for Nov-Dec.  Jan and Feb are usually our cold months in San Antonio.

Happy SRD, Kristin.

So sorry about your little one, Lauren, hope she feels better.

Tomas, I never heard...did your team beat Lexington last Friday night?  Sorry about your shoes going to pieces, hope your new ones arrive soon.  What size Brooks Beast do you wear?  I found a store where they are on sale for $110. Is that a good price for you?

Rest day for me today.    I did have a nice little adventure last night.   First, I did my 70th race for the year at 5 PM at University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, it was a nice event and tons of food after, plus all the holiday lights around the campus.  I will post my race report with photos tonite after work. 

After the race, Gail and I get home and hear our cat meowing outside and open the door to let him in.  Before we realize what is in his mouth - it's a bit dark by our back outside door  - he come proudly trotting in..with a MOUSE in his mouth. Gail freaks, giving a startled shriek,  which startles the cat, which drops the darn mouse with me trying to catch it - yes, it was still alive in the cat's mouth, and when he dropped it I saw it was just a field mouse, thank goodness, and not a rat - and it scurries under one of our kitchen cabinets.  I managed to get it out of there, but missed it as it came out and it went under another cabinet, sheesh.  Those little things are quick!  I did "work" for an hour under those cabinets but found nothing, saw nothing.  This cabinet backs up to the wall that goes outside, and we have some piping there that does lead outside, so I hope the stupid thing got out of the house.  Two of my other cats were QUITE interested and sat in front of that cabinet for quite a while,  peering under it, tails twitching, waiting and ready. The Great Hunters, lol.   Anyway, I guess we will be keeping an eye out for signs if it is still there and then take action if it is.   Gail is into "humane" removal and wants to catch it and release it.  We don't want to use any type of poison, etc., since our cats may inadvertently get into it.  I'm wondering about one of those "electronic" pest gizmos, don't know if they really work or not.  Any suggestions for those of you who may have mouse experience?   Oh well, "life" happens and this is just one of those things that sometimes comes along.  This too shall pass. Never a dull moment around our place, lol.

Morning!  Marathon didn't go well last night, with all the dust and wind.  Maybe a person allergic to dustmites shouldn't run in LV.

I am very sorry to hear about Suzie.  I am friends with her in FB but I didn't see her wall comments untl now.  May she RIP.
