oh Mr.I!!! I'm so sorry to hear that. Try not to worry. I know that's easy for me to say. DH and I have been through this before and it's tough. Please hang in there and keep checking in with us.

Kim, You still can if you want. It's a three day race, but it's less race. The goal is to do this 3.1 route once a month and see how much I can bring that time down over the year. The cool part for me is that this fast guy is wiling to run with me. He lets me take the lead, passes me then I pace off of him. Inertia, I'm so sorry. I've seen so many "D-Day's" and I still don't know what to say. I hope you took your stapler. Becareful not to overdue the running with the extra time, i know a runner who just did that and now is injured. Man this economy sucks, and the news just makes is worse.

Mr I. So sorry to hear that. About 1/3 of my friends have gone through that in the last 3 months. This is a crummy economy. Dad used to quote the bible "This too shall pass". I know that doesnt help much to hear now. Best wishes to you. Half hour of weights then 5k in 24:26 7:53 pace for Lou. Started out easy and picked it up each mile. Last mile at 6 :40 pace which is cranking for me. Erika, I still love you, just the way you are. Hugs.

Mr I, so sorry to hear your news, these are tough times. I hope something comes your way soon. I know too many going through this now. Bugs - I have no speed at all planned, but will be happy to log some 5K here in the next few days. Cash - for me? If that was a challenge, you have me beat -- see above. I think Dave will kick both our butts anyway. MTA: Oh! Because of the metrics. Brain not working too well at this hour. heh Dave - I'm guessing your pretty busy at work these days. MLR planned -- hopefully the streets aren't too icy.

Thanks guys. I haven't been happy there for some time and it wasn't unexpected so, while it hurts, could certainly be worse. The good news: I've already paid for my next two races plus Bayshore I'll be able to be a little more social I've got time to train my ass off

WRFB - walked the dog and didn't even crack through the ice/snow in the yard. Sucks. Hope you are safe out there!

Thanks, Shan. The main roads were generally clear, but the cul-de-sacs were icy. I ran as carefully as I could, trying to change direction on the dry spots. As it was I feel lucky I fell only once, hard on my right elbow and left knee. I'm ok, though -- nothing broken but my pride Smile

13.2 miles, 1:56:21, 8:50/mi, AHR 145. This was progression with targets MP+20%, MP+15%, MP+10%, but I ran a little faster than that.

See, now that's looking at the bright side of things! I have to admit that the last had definitely occurred to me, but I wasn't sure how it would go if I mentioned that up front. :-)
