    WELCOME TO THE DAILIES THREAD! 

     

    Anyone and everyone can post your runs, cross-training, abdominal work, rest days, race plans, training questions, etc. The only stupid question is the one you did not post. There’s a great mix of beginners and veterans, runners and walkers, and maniacs and returners (from injury, to running, to RA). We're all a little crazy here too! While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you’ll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences. So, come on in, put your feet up and stay awhile (not literally)! And whoever is up first is welcome to start the thread and we definitely keep some weird hours around here.

     

    You cannot control the world, so don't bother.

      I am in hour eight of fasting for my annual physical this morning so no coffee for me.

       

      It was two years ago this week that I became a vegetarian, in part because of my cholesterol so it will be interesting to see where that is.

       

      Have a good day and remember, the image in the mirror is one of only a select few who will always have your back.

        Morning, LRB!

         

        No coffee??? Arrrggggh!!

         

        Just got up myself, and a fresh pot is brewed. Having a bite to eat and then off to work.

         

         

        Morning, Dailies!

          Shy LRB - I just did that about 1 month ago and everything came out normal / ideal (except for my BP)

           

          Tom -any coffee left?  I'll have mine with cream and sugar.

           

          Heading out for just under an hour and chipping away at the 12.11 miles needed to break my goal of 2400 for the year.

           

          Have a GREAT Wednesday everyone!

          I AM WEEZER.

            Good morning, people!

            Rick, I hope that all is well

            Tom, have a great day at work.

            Weezer, have a great run.

            I'm off to the gym to do sixteen quarter-mile repeats before work. After work, I'll do 3.50-4.0 easy miles with the run club. Push-ups and abs sometime before bed. Running with the run club tonight means that Friday will be a SRD, if I choose.

              Good Morning Dailies!

               

              Basaya - you are like a work out machine!

               

              LRB - great news about your tread mill run yesterday!

               

              lilac and april - I know that house off of Jacksonville. The retired guy that owns it is funny. My wife and I were there checking it out and I was taking pictures with my cell phone. I was looking at the pictures I took when he came up to me and said "What do you have there?". I said "I am looking at pictures on my cell phone". He said in return "Oh, are there any nudes?".

               

              AFM - yesterday was full body workout at the gym. Thera-band, core, and stretching at home.

              I'm so vegetarian I don't even eat animal crackers!

                Morning!  Busy day yesterday left me with no running.  So today, I hope i get to run (depending on work).  Today is also our Christmas party so I'm looking forward to eating. Haha.

                 

                LRB is in the house!  Missed you, buddy.  Good luck with the physical.  I'll bet you the cholesterol will be good.  I dropped more than 50 points in mine after just 3 months of being vegetarian.

                 

                Tom, you're right.  Where's our coffee?

                 

                David, you've been PMd in FB.  Enjoy your yearly mileage run.

                 

                Basya, good luck with the intervals.  Wow, 16?

                 

                Gustav, morning.  How's the foot feeling?

                      Good Morning Runners!!

                       

                      I am working a half day from home today, and then I'll be off for the rest of the year!! I can hardly wait til 11:00 today!! Woot!!

                       

                      LRB – It's soooo good to have you back!! Good luck with your physical this morning! I'll bet that coffee that you have afterward tastes fantabulous!!

                       

                      Tom – Have a great day at work!

                       

                      David – Hope that your ankle is feeling better than it was yesterday! Have a great run this morning!

                       

                      Basya – I agree with Gustav. You are a workout machine!! The last few days, you've posted that you did your push ups with the kiddiegartners. Do you teach them? Just curious....

                       

                      Gustav – Sounds like a great workout last night! If you keep that up, your 5K to couch plan will fall apart completely! :-)

                       

                      Damaris – I hope that you are able to squeeze in a run today. Enjoy your office Christmas party!!

                       

                      Dave – Way to get some early mileage in this morning! Have a great day!

                       

                      Jeep – Great job on your run last night. If you're able to run later today, I hope you have a great one!!

                       

                      After looking at my schedule for the rest of the week, I decided that I needed to run at least 5 last night just in case my schedule gets too crazy on Thursday or Friday and I can't run then. I was really tired when I started the run and my legs felt like concrete. After 2ish miles though I felt better and was able to pick up some speed (not that it was my intent to run fast – it just happened). Today, I'm hoping for 10ish miles around lunch. I am thinking that starting my vacation with a run is the right way to go!!

                       

                      Have a Pinklightful Wednesday!!   And, may your next run be incredible!!

                        JULIO IGLESIAS YULE LOG, EVERYBODY!  Happy Wednesday!  I was in bed EARLY last night.  8:30 by my calculations.  I ran 7 easy miles last night (9:21 pace).  I was planning 8, but decided to cut it short just because.  I've got 10 more easy miles on today's schedule, after a farmshare pickup and a haircut.  Speaking of farmshare, we signed up for a winter share.  I'd like to thank the farm and it's winter share for officially making me and DW sick to death of carrots and beets.  We do not need nine pounds of carrots and six pounds of beets!

                            lilac and april - I know that house off of Jacksonville. The retired guy that owns it is funny. My wife and I were there checking it out and I was taking pictures with my cell phone. I was looking at the pictures I took when he came up to me and said "What do you have there?".

                            Hahaha - that is HYSTERICAL. I ran my RP over there last night and she was impressed. It was a nice 6-mile round trip for us from my house.

                             

                            LRB, good luck with the physical. I eat vegetarian when possible (haven't gone full veg yet) and at my last doctor's appointment, my BP was lower than previously. It was a nice surprise.

                             

                            Weezer, Basya, Sarah, Phil, enjoy your runs. Everyone else, good job if you've already run and enjoy your RD if ya got em!

                             

                            AFM, RD today. My husband's department is doing a late afternoon "thing" at the bar and spouses are invited so I'm jetting out of work a few hours early to join them. I'll probably do my ITB rehab at some point tonight. I need to. It's been helping my hamstring a lot, so I can tell when I need to do it again.

                             

                            Have a great day, cats and kittens!

                                Nice 3.2 mile run/walk at Lackland Air Force Base after work yesterday in the 78 degree sunshine.  Today I plan on doing some hill work at Fort Sam Houston after work.   Now, does Texas have some crazy weather or what?  For my outing at Fort Sam it will be 82 degrees, a new 'record high' for San Antonio for this date.  Then tonight we have a cold front coming in and tomorrow morning at wake-up time it will be 28 degrees!  Mother Nature really loves playing with we Texans, lol.

                                 

                                 

                                Hour 8 of fasting, sheesh.  Good luck with your physical, LRB, hope you have some great numbers!

                                 

                                Happy running, Weezer.  2400 for the year, wow! 

                                 

                                 

                                I got tired just reading your plans for today, Basya!

                                 

                                Off rest of the year, must be nice Pinktastic!  Enjoy!

                                 

                                 

                                so I'm jetting out of work a few hours early  Jetting?  Dang, April, just how far away are you from your husband's work? Wink   Good luck with the ITB!
