Murph, make sure you download and install Sporttracks (free download). Much better than the Garmin S/W. Does treadmill count as crosstraining? I opted for a recovery run rather than the elliptical today. Probably just to spite Shan.

Yeah, I already use sporttracks. Had a 301 prior to the new one and found the sportstracks software pretty quickly.

Erika, that is great news about your foot. I had to chuckle because I also tend to use those first few steps in the morning to decide how badly beat up my body feels. At our age, pain free is a gift Big grin

Bugs, you've been racking up the miles lately. Hopefully this is just a passing tweak. I can't speak for Shan but I wouldn't say this is a contest. More like competitive encouragement. Shan, we need to find a good 10K to run together in January. Maybe something in Maryland?

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

Dave - name the time and place! This isn't meant to be a contest - unless you want it to be. I just like to push Dave - threatening to get beat by a girl seems to be doing the trick! Wink

Hey, -5F isn't bitterly cold! That's really not bad at all... I ran 13 miles in -5 to -7 temps yesterday.

But with windshield is more like -37F, I don't care that's COLD.

Bugs, the mere mention of metatarsal soreness makes me cringe. Mine are doing pretty good, finding the metatarsal pads I'm using are helping a lot. I do still ice it after long runs though. Last night it felt "hot" and used the ice pack on it. This morning it feels pretty good.

I should be icing more, maybe I need those pads. I just keep thinking, "please don't be a SF". I'm going to try running tonight, my gut says they'll feel better with activity.

http://www.races2run.com/2008/2008Details/01-2008details.htm 10 miler. Wilmington Delaware (almost halfway?) 4 weeks from now. Here I thought I was inspiring Shan to run more miles and it sounds like the group thinks she was inspiring me? For the record, I love running behind women Evil grin

Next week we go to "minimum manning" so I'm hoping I can really ramp up the miles.

if you can do it it works for me - that's more than half way for you - only 40 minutes for me. I have coach approval - IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!

Shan, how far are you from Baltimore? Wilmington may work fine though (under 3 hours for me).

Erika, Glad the foot is feeling better in the mornings Taught spin twice today, and again at 6 am tomorrow. Means getting up at 4 30 am. Rained like crazy here today. Expect we will send our rain east in a couple of days. Time for me to start thinking about running again. Doesnt mean I will do it, just means I will think about running.
