Good morning, Where is everyone. Still smarting after my terrible run yesterday. Where was my energy? Hopefully get in an hour ez today. Off to work Tall

4.3 recovery miles last night....9:15 pace. Sorry about that Tall, but with how hard you push I guess that's bound to happen at some point. I am actively part of a online dating site (E.priorhookers.com) and I have been corresponding with this gal that lives 3 miles from me. I kept my profile simple and did not mention running at all...just a small part about me being a fit guy. We had a meeting planned this Friday night when I said..."Nancy, I have a 20 mile run Sat morning, so I will have to keep our meeting and drinking short".....she then said "un-believable" I have no luck with guys". She then accused me of being a fanatical health freak and said she could NEVER be involved with someone who would run that distance. I tried to explain to her that I love running and take good care of myself and I asked "what's wrong or bad about that" Heck I said " Nancy I could be a drunk who abuses women and you are upset because I am the opposite" She basically said bye and she would never contact me again. This is the last thing she told me in my inbox last night... Tim, lol You are too funny! You turned me off by your running talk, and the last guy I dated was always into working out and reading all the labels on you food to see fat content etc. It is good to watch what you put in mouth,but you need to live a little too! Life is too short and I am not going to get involved with someone like you again, Good Bye Nancy. Here's a picture of the gal... Shessh, I feel like a criminal for being a runner. The only - only time I really brought up running was making our date short Friday night because of my 20 miler Sat morning...what the hell is wrong with that. I mentioned meeting maybe Sat or Sun so we could spend more time together...but it was too late TimBo - think I will become a Monk

Tim, As you well know, the trick is finding the right person who fits into your life. You cannot force it to happen. The lady has the same right of course. Obviously, your two lives are much too different to mesh. Better to find that out now than months or years down the road. She is out there Tim. Don't ever apologize or question yourself for being who you are. 1600 meters swimming. I'm getting better at this. I hope I have the drive and motivation after my Race to continue the swimming. It really is good for me. I need the upper body work and I really believe it's making me a better runner. Aerobically, swimming is fabulous. And, this may sound strange, but my ankles are much looser now and I can feel a stronger and more confident pushoff when I run. Bill ETA: It looks like my DS will be interning for the summer in Redondo Beach. That's a long ways away and I'm not crazy about that but it is a good opportunity for him again this summer. (He interned in Wash. DC last summer.) He turns 21 in less than a month. How did that happen so fast ??? ETA2: I just found out he got 3 A's and a B+ this semester (Aerospace Engineering Junior year) ---- Proud Papa!

I did 5 miles with 3 tempo miles in the middle. Just felt like stretching out a little. Thanks for all the race suggestions yesterday. It was fun poking around on MarathonGuide and checking these out. My apologies for the over-posting last night; I was having too much fun. Have a good one.

Good morning, all! Thanks for the kickoff, Leslie!! Tramps - you can rule out the Marine Corps - registration is already closed. You can't go wrong with Hartford - probably the best supported marathon I've done, and the post-race food is excellent. I did both Hartford and Philly last year - it's quite doable. Holly - bad Daisy!! I have a whole forrest full of ferns - wish I could send you a few. Erika - you have some great fall marathons lined up - I'm so jealous!!! I really want to run Honolulu or one of the other marathons on the islands some day. dg - congratulations on the new HRM and the start of marathon training. You should be excited. I'm out of the loop - who was the new baby you held?? No run for me today. Slept in after a late night of agility training. Jesse took her first tumble off the dogwalk, but it didn't phase her. Weights and core on the lunch schedule. ((((((Tim)))))) - thankfully you found out that Nancy is NOT the woman for you before you put any time and effort into the relationship. Our "lawn" has been declared an official failure. The grass and weeds are running 50/50 with about an equal amount of bare dirt. We're getting conflicting messages from the guy who did the seeding and the lawn service folks, but ultimately it looks like a "do over". The lawn service just applied a "pre-emergent" (not sure why as the crab grass appears to growing already), so now we can't even do a spring re-seeding. We prepaid the lawn service for fertilizer and weed/grub control, and DH asked if there was any point in continuing. The service guy told him that "no self-respecting grub would live in that yard".

Tim You should have told her you spend no more time fussing over what you eat than she does fussing about her hair.

Happy Seis de Mayo! I had a sproinky track workout last night 4.5 miles worth. I was quite surprised after my HM last Sunday.

even though more than two years in the waiting, and a week after a marathon warm-up, no surprise to your fans after all the other previous multiple ones. <>5K/5m/10K/10m/mary/etc.)>>>

You turned me off by your running talk

don't worry tim, we appreciate it. your friends, enkephalin - 24.6 stumpy77 - 20.8 perchcreek - 18 tetsujin209/twocat - 0 ps - getting to celebrate Roger Banniser Day with another flight to break last month's taper under the rising sun.\ sayonara again for now
