Am I the only nut who stayed up for triple overtime? I feel okay now but come mid-afternoon....

I watched the first OT and then set-up the DVR to record the next 5 hours so I could go to bed. It ended up being a disappointing outcome so I'm glad I didn't lose any more sleep over it. The good news is, there is at least one more game to watch. And then we go into a sports blackout because there is nothing left to watch. The choices are people hitting a little white ball into a hole, people driving around in circles for hours, or people standing in a field watching 2 other people play catch while hoping that someone eventually hits the ball so they can move around a little. Eventually football and hockey will return!

Congratulations to the following for reaching the indicated plateaus: CNYrunner..........1,000 miles for the year and 1,000 miles lifetime Biketm...............1,000 miles lifetime Hermosaboy........1,000 miles for the year TanyaS..............1,000 miles for the year and 3,000 miles lifetime This is for the year 2008 and are taken from profiles of those made public. Congratulations. All of you are on track for 2,000 mile years.

Mary, awwww. jjj, yay. Peter, I have the same problem; I've been meaning to ask if anyone else did! Mine's a polar. It's only been a problem for about a month... no answers, but i'll rant with you. . Thanks CNY! I think I'll try focusing on pace. I focus on form a lot. think i'm leaning too much, it's not intentional. I'll add my voice to those encouraging you to pay attention to your hamstring. good intentions sometimes aren't quite enough.. you need lots of nagging. . yummy salad. I just had peas & gr.onions w/black beans. Perch, thanks for what you said about the push off & how it helps. made sense to me. Also, for the running times suggestion a few days ago. Have you looked at their web site? Holly, thanks. . I've always wanted to do that. In fairness I do have to say, his motives were good. He saw me hobbling around Sunday night... neighbors gave us many wheelbarrows full of sandstone, I had them dump it in the driveway. I got tired of it there, & carried it all to the back corner of the yard. (my wheelbarrow has a flat tire). Still, it was 5:00 & had coffee in my hand.. Dave59, great quote. good luck with your pt. RosieBarb, I was surprised by that too. No need for sorry. Your threads are always worth bumping. Hi Roy! Kevin, me too. (puppies). So glad you're running again! .. just read thru the end as of now. Sue, thanks so much. I'm with you as far as running in the heat of the day. I pass people running later & just think, why??? evening has been tempting lately, though. good job today. I'd love to see Clapton. which reminds me (as I'm behind...) Erika, how was Elton John?

WOO HOO! I GOT THE JOB OFFER! ...Sorry for shouting, I'm excited! They have a couple of projects they want me to start on right away (as in, tomorrow!) so my first day of work will be my daughter's last day of school. Perfect timing. But I couldn't say no, when the company seems like such a good fit for me! It's a 17-person environmental consulting firm specializing in air permitting and monitoring. I've done some air work, but that hasn't been my focus, so I'll be on the steep part of the learning curve for a while, which at least is not boring. Their office is pretty far from home (50 miles, 70 minute drive) but they said I could work at home part time. Seemomgo, I'll be in your neck of the woods - it's in Inverness business park, near I-25 and C-470. Mtnchk, are you near there too? I'll have to scope out good running routes in that part of town. One key thing I forgot to ask them at the interview was if they have shower facilities at their building. I'll find out tomorrow... Although this time of year, it's too hot to run at lunch, but during the winter it's essential, as flatland winter weather is much better than mountain winter weather. I'm planning on a run later this afternoon/early evening. Yesterday I took the dogs for a 7 mile hike in the state park, and everything's getting so green! Hey, have we heard from Aamos and Tim about how the Steamboat Springs marathon went last weekend?

Congratulations, Carolyn! You'll do great. I think every engineering job I've ever gotten has been in a "new" area for me - hydroelectric, paper mills, precast concrete... There are just so many things that need doing! It was hot and sunny this morning, but my running partner and I ran 8.7 miles (7.3 miles running, a little walking since she requested it, and then another 1.4 miles running). We were both very sore from our Nazi instructor at the Y yesterday. Now it's hard for me to get out of the chair! I guess my leg muscles aren't in as good of shape as I thought. I AM happy that the warm temperatures didn't stop me - I could have kept going. This was my cutback week for long runs, anyway, so it worked out fine.
