[She says as she stalks his log and rubs her hands together with glee!] Cash, glad you're starting to get ready to think about running. Don't want to rush into these things, ya know. Hope you're managing to stay dry... Ilene said something about mudslides in the burned areas? Yikes... ...

You know me, I have a problem with commitment.... wink.

Ended up doing 5.25 tonight as a little progression run on the treadmill. 2 miles @ 8:49, 1 @ 8:34, 2.25 @ 8:20 and that was just the right distance/speed for tonight. Legs weren't ready for the 10 and it turns out I didn't need to switch anyway cuz DH and DS2 are doing the same thing tomorrow. So... 10 on tap for tomorrow with half mile repeats. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze out some at almost 10k pace (7:30).

Erika - better to do what your body needs then to push it. I hope today's run goes better Cash - you've been committed to us for quite some time now Big grin

Dave - sorry it was so bad! I hope today is better!! Yesterday was 2 EZ for me. My IT was talking and so I figured better to push the speed day back. So I'll do it today. I'm supposed to do 1mi w/c and 2x1.5mi at 7/10 effort - which i'm not sure what that is - so this could be interesting. I'm kinda nervous - as this whole speed thing is new to me. But I'm excited! It should be fun!!

I got two Army folks from VA traveling to my house and neither is Dave, my niece and her husband...sounds like they are traveling forever to get here. VA that really far away or do newlyweds have to stop every hour for kissie kissie?

Its like when men buy lingerie. Who is it really for? Its not to say he won't like the bench.

So what do men want? DS wanted to get DH a fishing pole, so I let him get it. Does he need one probably not, but fit the budget and wasn't crap. Last year we had the kids do all their shopping at the dollar store..that was funny. We got chips, pop, a watch, and a dog dish...we don't have a dog though. Smile

So, the weather here is taking a definitely downward turn. 3 inches last night, now Winter Storm Watch with ice, sleet and snow for Thursday night/Friday morning. It should definitely make my last 20 mile run(on Saturday AM) interesting. Do I run it indoors on the track? Decisions, decisions. It's weeks like this that I'm glad I live in a college town with access to the track.

Yeah, I made that trek in college. That's a long, slow trip, especially in VA and WVA, some windy interstates through those mountains (of course, we were on a bus, so it was definitely slow going).

Not slow enough. Their 80 miles away. Shocked

Well they can amuse themselves in the tanning bed until I can pull out of work.
