Good Afternoon Tom, 

Looks the time change might have done in a few folks

6 easy miles in 58:50 w/DW 

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

20.3, not quite as fast as CNYRunner, 9:10/mi pace.

Good runs, all!

thank you tomsie.

3.7 or so miles in annual St. Patrick's Day Dash traditional season opener to Seattle area running season.

It's on the same part of the Rock'n'Roll Marathon from Seattle Center to Aurora Bridge and back.

I did not see divechief,

I did not see francesca

I did not see enkie

However, I saw Sedona  Cindy who said she'd be at the Mercer Island Half Mary next week after all

note to ilene: stand by please.

Getting closer the the desired ten minute pace that eluded me in the New  Year's Day Resolution 5K

in January and the Valentine 5K Dash in February.

Lots of Green that's for sure, . . . including one pair of green feet.

I'm waiting for it to warm up a bit before meeting a friend for 14-15 miles. He had 20 planned, my schedule said 12... we're compromising somewhere in the  middle. If I do 14 at a good pace, I'll be happy. We've got about an inch of new snow that's been mashed up by snowmachines, walkers, dogs and bikes so the footing won't be great. We'll probably run in the road for most of our time.

That's good to hear, Slo. I hope it works for you!

Nice really long runs for CNYrunner and WRFB this morning! Lou, how's the leg?

Jon, too far to go for a 5K....plus I don't think there is much speed in my legs these days!!

I was out running 7 miles though in the early morning , frosty , cold in the valley but the sun was coming out so I didn't regret the really early get up time, hour change and all!!

I'm at work now but might go run up the big Tolt Pipeline hill after work...will see!

Happy Sunday to all

Francesca

I'm up from my nap now. 

Tet - you're making me miss UW!

16 miles this morning in something of a progression. Started slow, drove it down to 7 miles at MP, then 1 mile slow(er) to finish 'er up.  It's wet out there, with lots of flooding in the area.  If this was more snow, we'd be buried.

Overall 9:38/mi.   Mile 13 was 8:44. Yay me!

Poor dawndaughter2 has a lot of swelling and pain from her wisdom teeth extraction adventure on Friday.  She'll stay with us for at least another day.  She had hoped to go back to work tomorrow, but that's not going to happen.

Wow, there was some excellent running yesterday, and then today, wow again – you guys rock! 

Tet – great racing, but sorry you didn’t find everyone.

Kimmie - sometimes just a 15-minute catnap can do wonders.

20+ miles for me today in 37-39° and light rain, with miles 12, 13, 14, and 15 @ (9:03, 8:55, 8:52, 8:45), the rest of it pretty darn slow, though, and then twice slowly chugging up my long hill at miles 16 and 19.

I’m a little iffy on the distance because, at mile #10, I stopped to use the bathroom at a McDonald’s, and my Garmin asked me the question, “Are you indoors?” to which I foolishly answered, “Yes.”  Dumb, dumb, because when I got outside and began running again, the Garmin was no longer measuring distance.  I must have run a half-mile or so before I noticed.  I fiddled and fiddled with it, but could not figure out how to switch it back to outdoor running.  Finally I turned it off and restarted it.  So there was an extra half-mile or thereabouts that was unrecorded.

My achiness in the hip/butt/thigh was present, but never seemed to get any worse, so hopefully it will just go away on it’s own.  (whew!)

My new Sugoi tights felt great!  But alas, my butt was still cold……
