I don't normally post in the dailies, but your title pulled me in.

Hey babe! 

Welp, my track workout is done:

3 easy + 1 at tempo + 4 x 1000 VO2 max intervals (which ended up around 5k pace today)

My hips and quads were noticeably tight and except for the first 400 meters of the first 1000, I was unable to attain and hold my target pace of 5:50.  The effort was there though it just did not show up in the pace window so I am cool with it.

I intended this to be 6 x 1000 but ran out of time, which is why I usually do them on Saturday but that day is now reserved for that other run. 

Morning! RD for me. I have a fair number of grays on my face. If I go a week without shaving, you can really tell. I also start getting grays on my head, and they really stick out. It's odd that grays stick out since they're dead. You'd think they'd be shorter. I trim it pretty short about every 3 weeks to a month to keep that at bay.

Oh, and the house is giving an additional 25% off its already discounted liquidation apparel.

Thanks, I almost bought some shoes last night, but I still can't decide, glad I waited.

Egad.  1" split shorts that look like boxer prints... "why is that dude running in his underwear?"

LRish thing of some sort scheduled today, maybe on a new route to change things up.

I can't believe how some idiots drive.  So me and about 10,000 other drivers are sitting in commuter traffic on the highway, inching along bit by bit and stopping at times.  While we were all at a dead-stop for a bit,  I guess the guy 2 cars ahead of me got tired of it all and decided he wanted to swing out to the other lane and get off the highway.  But...he was a bit too close to the guy in front of him...so this idiot BACKS UP - on the highway no less, sheesh - and, of course, rams right into the guy behind him.  Dammit.  So now all of us behind him are stuck really good because now we can't get around the idiot and the guy he hit, we have to wait for the cops to show up, etc.  Sheesh.  Good thing today is a running day and my boss is VERY liberal about me coming in late to work on my running mornings as long as I make up the time.  I ended up coming in about 45 minutes later than I usually do on a running morning.

Well, at least I had a really good run/walk this morning.    3.5 miles done at Fort Sam Houston.   We actually did get some rain last night, so this morning actually felt a bit 'cool', even though the temp was already near 80 at 5 a.m. when I went out...but that dew-point behaved itself nicely and stayed under 70.

Also...sad about Lauren Bacall....one of my favorite actors of olden-time...she died yesterday at home, per her family, of a massive stroke.  89 years old and in recent photos she still looked pretty darn good.  Wish I could age that well!

I dunno, LRB, I don't mind my gray hair.  It annoys Gail, though, lol.  Mainly because my gray hair is so light that in the sunshine it almost looks kinda silver-blondish and Gail's is that kinda darker gray, so she says she's jealous, lol, why can't her gray hair be like mine?  Well, she should be happy...at least she doesn't have a bald spot on the top back of her head like I do.

Little Blue, that's why electric razors these days have a trimmer attachment. for old men like me to take care of that ear hair and nose hair... I'm not going bald...my hair is just growing out of me in two different directions! 

For someone who has a sore calf, Dave, you're doing all right!  9 miles!  way to go.

Basya, RDing?     Is the world coming to an end?

That sounds like a tough workout, Step.  And done under the moon too?  All of you?  Sure you weren't participating in some Druid ritual? 

Hope your 11 with 8 went well, Zelanie, and you weren't at 6's and 7's with it...

At least you're getting rain, Baboon.  Maybe too much?   Funny, the states that don't need it seem to be getting too much and the states that are in drought and do need it can't seem to get enough.  Mother Nature sure has a wild hair up these days about something.   Happy TM running!

Thanks for the review, Lily!  I was thinking about going to see that but was wondering about how it really is.  Congrats on your miles and enjoy that relaxing on the beach.  Sounds like a lovely place you have there.  Ever rent it out for a week or two? 

Sorry, FreeSoul, that you kept falling, but I'm sorry, I did laugh...you sound about as adept on a trail run as I am, lol.  What was Rocky doing during all your 'greeting time' with roots and trees?

Glad your leg is feeling better, Mitch.

I dunno, Dave, some people can really pull off the bald look and look great with it.  Unfortunately, I am not one of them, so thank goodness I still have some hair.

Damaris dyes her hair?  Does hubby know this? 

Enjoy the RD, Andrew.  You are way too young to have gray hair anywhere! 

I suspect I have a few grey hairs, but my hair is such a nondescript color that you can't really tell!  DH, on the other hand, is all grey.  I even noticed grey hairs on his wrists the other day! 

Enjoy the RD, Andrew.  You are way too young to have gray hair anywhere! 

Tell me about it. I blame DW. She'd agree.
