You know I will. And if you keep that up, I'll post yours in bold or pink letters or something. Did you see Santa up there?

Just don't use the crayola markers on your screen again. Santa doesn't visit bad girls. Bugs might have found a TM for tomorrow. 6 miles on sludge and ice. 11:00 min pace at times. Next week I'm going to be a running calorie counting machine.

Dealing with the same crappy footing that Bugs has, but my temps are a little warmer... for now! The forecast for this weekend is -35 or so. Yuk. Might do some sort of a long run tomorrow instead of Sunday to beat the cold snap. Hope everyone had a good Christmas, sounds like it so far. We had a nice quiet time, glad my boys are older and we actually had to wake them up to open presents!! Then had dinner at my brother's house and that was fun. Actually got to bed pretty early (for me) last night. Got a new headlight, the Princeton Tec Apex that puts my Petzl to shame! Can't wait to try it... well, ok I can wait cuz I did my run outside in daylight today. But soon, I'll take it out for a spin. Also, new RoadID stuff, the wrist band and lots of reflective stuff. Also got a 10 lb medicine ball but I'm taking it back for the 8 lb ball. DH thought we could handle the 10 lb, but for the sort of things you do with the medicine ball I think the 8 is much better. 10 lbs puts too much strain on elbows and shoulders, IMO. Congratulations on the puppy, Shan!

Wasn't that a movie title? Uhh... Nevermind. Glad everyone had a nice holiday. I took the day off yesterday as my throat was starting to get scratchy and I figured I better rest up (since I've been smooching a strep throat girl and shared a hot dog with the other one). Went to bed early and felt better so I'm out the door now for 6 or so. Thought I'd hit 40 this week but now I won't. Oh well. it's been a good week.

That is fantastic Shan. My run didn't feel quite as good as that but I'm glad I got there.

just got back from 21 miles- took 3:30 or so... stopped to stretch three times. No issues with the ITB. that's good. Dave and Shan, I think I will run the AI Lewis 10 miler this Saturday in Kensington, MD. about a 35 minute drive.

yes, Dave, that is paste - now that you've tasted it please put down the Popsicle stick and walk away. Kimmie - awesome job!!!

Nice work Kimmie & Dave! Shan, what will you do for today? Today's run featured a mix of experiences. 64°F and wind as I left the house, light sprinkles around the 5-mile mark; as I was climbing the 460' hill FIL pulls up and says there is a tornado warning for our county and he will follow me back, by the hills end it started to rain, around the 7.5 mile mark it was raining sideways and I finished the loop to sprinkles and 50°F. We are going to delay our return home until tomorrow to let the weather pass. It is stormy and will ice in Central Missouri where we live. Hope to get one more park run in tomorrow before the trip back.
