Barking Mad To Run
SRD for me today, but busy day. Leaving work at 4 to go do some hospital stuff - Gail has to have surgery on her toe - and then am a volunteer for packet-pickup today from 3 - 6 pm for the Whine Run 5-miler that is on Monday. I have no race on Saturday for a change, since I am running on Monday. Looking forward to Saturday as the college football season starts. I love football! My university team starts its season with an away game at U. of New Mexico. Sep 7, we play Oklahoma State at home in the Alamodome and will probably get slaughtered. Oh well, the university has only had a team for 3 years and we're already playing the Big Boys, it's all a learning experience, right? Hoping my other favorite teams - Longhorns, Va. Tech, LSU, Notre Dame - all do well. Hope the Texas A&M Aggies, whom I can't stand, lose every game, lol. Unless they play Alabama, whom I really can't stand. In that case, go Aggies!
Holidays for August 30 are Toasted Marshmallow Day, College Colors Day; and Holistic Pets Day.

Morning!
Fingers crossed that my office closes early today. They like to leave us in anticipation, sometimes until literally the last minute, because they think we're all children. It's super fun.
Race day is on the 10-day forecast. OMG. Freaking out even more.

They usually let us go one hour early on days like this, but in 2013 we've not had that pleasure. Bah.
And April, I mean, Taperil, BREATHE!

At ease my dear, that is completely (abby) normal. ; )
For my first marathon, I had at least three tabs open with weather sites of the race location at all times. For my second, I only had two! lol
Let's face it, whether (pardon the pun) it is your first marathon or thirty-first, weather can destroy your dreams. So my advice to you is simple; open another tab!

Wassup good looking!
I got in 6.5 wet and sticky miles, and am happy to report that my legs are back, yay! During the last couple of miles, I actually had to slow myself down.
It is funny how you get lost in your thoughts, and the more intense they are, the faster you run. Conversely, the more boring or uninteresting they are, the slower you run. For me anyway.
I'm hungry, you?
I was hungry. Then I ate two donuts. Problem solved.
Go figure

Morning! Headed in to work. 5 later.
Yes - NH Native. While I'm pretty recognizable to anyone who's met me, I try to keep my user id un-Google-able.
Ended up going with my favorite running partner today, so did two recovery miles instead of three. And did them a bit faster than planned. My running partner is not such a good pacer. More of a speed freak, at least for the first mile.
Let's see if this works...

Relax! And good luck!!!!!
Life is good.

Hmm, can that be found here?
Hi Zel! Hi Blue!
It's been a crazy week. I live a few miles from the Yosemite/Rim fire and although our house was never in jeopardy, the smoke has been extremely thick and has precluded any type of running outside. 200,000 acres burned and 32% containment as of today. My hat goes off to all the firefighters (5,000 of them now) battling this blaze in 95 heat.
I'm going to hit the treadmill for another 6 miles today.
How about an entire plate of hash-browns? There has to be at least four taters worth in there! And people wonder why the country is so freakin' fat. I'll eat half of them and the Greek omelet that came with them, and call it a day.
And you wonder why I want to move out of this place.
Apart from the one guy sexually abusing dogs, the rest are hilarious...and stupid.
LINKIE!
